Residual ripple 120 mVpp IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH recommends to adjust the power supply to the power requirement of the camera to limit overheating in case of short circuit. To ensure the electrical safety, the camera power supply must meet the requirements for SELV (safety extra low voltage) / LPS (limited power source) or ES1 / PS2.
Choose the size of the cable in such a way that the supply voltage available at the input of the camera is at least 12 V. To supply the IDS NXT rome camera with power using PoE or PoE+, you can use PoE injectors or switches that are compatible with IEEE standard 802.3af or IEEE standard 802.at.
