Please follow the instructions below for cable connections.
Power Connection
Please use a DC12V / AC24V power adaptor and plug it to the power connector of the camera
and the power outlet.
Alternatively, users can use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ-45 connector of the
camera and a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, and plug the
other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
A client program will be automatically installed to the PC when connecting to the camera.
Before logging in to the camera, ensure downloading the ActiveX control is allowed by either
changing the ActiveX controls and plug-ins or setting Internet’s security level to default.
NOTE : It is not recommended to record with the microSD card for 24/7 continuously, as
it may not be able to support long term continuous data read/write. Please
contact the manufacturer of the microSD card for information regarding the
reliability and the life expectancy.
NOTE : If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
NOTE : In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when connecting the
camera directly to the PC.
