a PoE-enabled switch or a non-PoE switch.
A. If using a PoE-enabled switch:
1. Use a single Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the PoE-enabled
switch.
B. If using a non-PoE switch:
1. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the camera to a PoE Injector.
2. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the PoE Injector to the non-PoE
switch.
3. Use a standard power cable to connect the PoE Injector to a power outlet.
