2.13.1 notes On Cable Lengths And Power Supply

• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. A MOBOTIX
Power Adapter or similar high-quality PoE product is recommended to provide the
power supply via the network cable (see Section 2.4 Available D24M Accessories ):
• one camera: with the Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
• multiple cameras: with quality PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af
maximum length
• The
is 100 m.
• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet interface of the camera. Check for LED activity on the corresponding port
of the switch or router. When deploying several cameras, read the notes in Section
4.11 Operating Multiple Cameras in the Software Manual .
• It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide back
up power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet network components to supply
power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not
have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is very low compared
to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased, thus extending the
life of these components.

2.13.2 PoE Variables

The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
connected expansion modules (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the
browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system
design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af standard):
Class Max. Power Consumption Possible Operating Modes
1 0.44 W - 3.84 W
3.84 W - 6.49 W (factory
2
default)
3 6.49 W - 12.95 W
