Dome Camera Control
Dome Camera Connection:
Refer to the following figure. Connect the dome camera to any of the NVR’s PoE port via a CAT5
cable. The PoE ports supply a total of 100W power source, with each port limited to 30W at most. If
the connecting dome camera requires power exceeding the limited power source, please connect
an additional power source.
NOTE: The 100W power is shared by all ports, but not equally shared. For example, if the
first three ports used up to each port’s maximum 30W and the fourth port used 10W, the
remaining ports will not have power supply. Instead, they will just be network connection
ports.
