information regarding the reliability and the life expectancy.
Camera Cabling
Please follow the instructions below for cable connections.
Power Connection
Please use a DC 12V power adaptor and plug it to the camera and the power outlet. Alternatively, users can use an
Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ-45 connector of the camera and a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch.
NOTE: If the device is powered over Ethernet, make sure the PSE is connected to the network.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, 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 camera directly to the
PC.
NOTE: 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.
