7. Connecting Your Camera

7.1. Essential Connections — Network and Power
Wirepath™ Surveillance IP Cameras can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) through the Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet connection.
This method is recommended because it limits the amount of wiring required, reducing installation cost and time. The camera must
be connected to a compatible PoE-equipped router/switch or a PoE injector for this method to work.

7.1.1. Network Cable Recommendation

(PoE and non-PoE)

o Cable Type: Cat5e/6
o Max Length: 100 meters (328 feet)
o Termination: 568B recommended

7.1.2. Choosing the Right Network Equipment

Streaming content from IP Cameras requires more bandwidth than most IP devices. We recommend using 1Gbps routers and
switches to maintain a high quality streaming image. To reduce traffic on the overall network, we recommend that all IP Surveillance
devices be connected to a dedicated 1Gbps switch or VLAN.

7.1.3. PoE Requirements- IEEE 802.3af

Cameras must be connected to a PoE injector (inline PoE power supply) or a PoE-equipped port of a network router or switch built
to meet IEEE 802.3af standards. Consider installing a dedicated PoE switch specifically for IP cameras on the network to avoid
issues relating to power shortage.
• Minimum requirement for PoE ports:
o Voltage: 44V DC
o Wattage: 15.4W
o Amperage: 350mA
Network Wiring Instructions
A. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the network port to the camera location.
B. Terminate both ends of the cable to 568B. (See pinout above)
C. Connect the cable to the camera and the port.

7.1.4. Power for Non-PoE Applications

For applications where PoE power will not be used, power the WPS-300-CUB-IP using a standard 12V DC power supply (minimum
.5A).
Setup Instructions
D. Run wiring to the camera from the power supply location. Use the voltage drop calculator at
the wire size needed.
E. Connect the power supply to the wire at the head end using electrical connectors (not included), and attach the WPS-ACC-
PWR-M to the wire at the camera location. Be sure to use the correct polarity.
F. Connect the power supply to a suitable outlet and test the voltage at the camera side of the wire using a volt meter.
G. Connect the DC Power In to the power supply wiring.
