B. Hardware Installation
1. Connector Instruction
The connectors are as below. Plug in the DC adapter power, or use the 2P
terminal block to connect with AC power, or use POE.
Connect the IP Camera to your PC or network, and set up the network
configurations according to the network environment.
About I/O settings, please refer to chapter VII in User Manual: "I/O
Configuration" for detail.
2. PoE (Power Over Ethernet) 802.3af PoE Switch is recommended
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard
LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such
as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for
network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera
locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.
