APower Connection
Power can be supplied to this camera either by connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using PoE.
䡵Power cord in the case for connecting to AC 24 V (Reference value)
Note:
●If the power is supplied from both power cable and LAN cable, the priority is given to the power from the
power cable.
●After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of the camera
are set to 192.168.0.2 by default. When the power of
multiple cameras within the same LAN environment are turned on at the same time, the IP address of the
cameras overlap, thus preventing proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the power of the cameras one
by one.
BLAN Cable Connection
Connect the camera to a hub or computer using a LAN cable.
●When connecting to a hub : Make use of a straight cable.
●When connecting to a computer : Make use of a cross cable.
CConnecting the alarm signal terminal
Connect the alarm signal cable to external devices, such as a sensor or buzzer.
ALoosen screws on both sides of the terminal block with a flathead screwdriver and remove the terminal
block.
Memo:
●Inserting the tip of the screwdriver into the slit of the terminal block will remove the terminal block easily.
BPeel off about 4 mm of the alarm signal cable covering and insert into the terminal.
