Chapter 2
Before installing the camera in its final location, it is important to
configure and test it first (see Chapter 1).
2.1
Installing NetCam SC
Measure the distance from the camera to the nearest Ethernet
hub or switch. This distance should not exceed 330 feet. If you wish
to extend the distance further than 330 feet, you can add an Ethernet
hub or switch.
There are three ways to power NetCam SC. This allows you go
install the camera in virtually any existing infrastructure. NOTE: Only
use one method to power the camera . Do not plug two or more
power sources into the camera simultaneously.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Run standard CAT 5 or better Ethernet cable from a PoE hub/
switch (or PoE power injector) into the NET jack on the back of
NetCam SC. NetCam SC will run off the PoE power running in the
CAT 5 cable. No other power source is required.
Separate Ethernet and Power
If you decide not to use PoE, you can connect one end of a CAT
5 or better Ethernet cable into a hub/switch and the other end into the
NET jack on the back of NetCam SC. Plug a 12VDC 1A power supply
into the back of NetCam SC (or you may use a 24VAC power supply
and connect it to the input marked 24VAC).
StarDot's Power/Network Cable
If you choose not to power NetCam SC via PoE and you still want the
take advantage of a single cable run, StarDot provides Power/Network
cable that allows you to run both power and data in the same cable. Visit
