Ethernet Cable for PoE connection.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is
in used in the network.
2.2 Connect Ethernet Cable
Use of Category 5 Ethernet Cable is recommended for network / PoE
connection. For 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 / Function Cable, and plug 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 the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
2.3 Connect Alarm I/O
For Indoor models, there is an 8 pins terminal block for the Alarm I/O and the
Audio I/O connections. For Outdoor models, the Alarm I/O is connected by a
4 pins terminal block. Refer to sections Connectors for the pin definitions.
