Page 7: Introduction
WPS-750-BUL-IPH Installation Manual 2. Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Wirepath™ IP Surveillance camera. The WPS-750-BUL-IPH is an indoor/outdoor camera designed for mounting to any wall, ceiling or surface, for easy monitoring over a web or smartphone interface. We recommend that this document be read in its entirety before proceeding with system design, installation, or operation of the camera. -
Page 8: Package Contents
Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch is recommended. 4. Required Items for Installation The following items are required during the installation of a Wirepath™ IP camera. Prepare all parts and tools in advance to ensure that the installation can be performed smoothly. -
Page 9: How It Works
How Does IP Video Surveillance Work? Wirepath™ IP cameras use a digital image processor to capture video in a stream of packets that are broadcast using a standard Ethernet network. These packets can be received by several devices at once, including local PCs, mobile devices, and recorders (NVRs) on the same network, or even off the network (with the correct setup and web access). -
Page 10: Camera Connections
6. Camera Connections 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. -
