IEEE-1394 Laptop Installation
Excel cameras are powered by the IEEE-1394 bus. Laptop computers usually have no
provision to power connected devices, therefore the Excel cameras have an external power
input connector to operate the camera on Laptops.
First determine if your laptop computer already has an IEEE-1394 port. Typically Laptops
come equipped with a port using a 4-pin miniature IEEE-1394 connector.
A. If your computer already is equipped with an IEEE1394 port, then you will need to use a 4-
pin to 6-pin IEEE-1394 cable along with a "12 Volt Power Supply" to power the camera
and connect the IEEE-1394 bus. The Cable & Power Supply are available as a kit. (Dage
