2. Camera Cabling
Please follow the instructions below to complete IP Camera connection.
2.1 Connect Power
Please refer to Section: Connectors. Alternatively, connect the Ethernet cable to the
camera’s RJ-45 port and plug the other end of the cable into a PoE switch.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is in
use in the network.
2.2 Connect Ethernet Cable
Use of Category 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection; to have best
transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters. Connect one end of the
Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the IP Camera, and the other end of the cable
to the network switch or PC.
NOTE: In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the IP Camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit,
please check LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light ashes for network activity indication.
