Page 28
NOTE Seamless failover is only guaranteed when PoE Class 4 (25.5W) "full power" is available on the PoE port. Auxiliary (Aux) power is always assumed to be “full power,” meaning that there is enough power available for all possible camera functions. PoE, on the other hand, has many different power classes and the product’s functionality depends on the PoE power class that is available.
