1. Connection and power activation of the camera
The WAT-2400 has two power supply systems. The one is powered by +12VDC input plug
on back panel of the camera, and the other is powered by PoE using a LAN connector.
Please feed by the one or the other of the way above and do not feed the both systems
simultaneously.
The below figure is a connection example of the power supply by PoE hub. In addition, you
need to have the power individually to the router and the PoE hub.
Connect the LAN cable of camera side to a PoE port of the PoE hub and connect the LAN
cable of the router side to a normal LAN port.
If you want to power the camera using the AC power supplies, connect the camera and the
router directly with exception of the PoE hub from the above. The router is also not required
if it is in a closed network configuration and not using DHCP protocol. In that case, connect
the PC and the camera directly in LAN cable.
It takes about 20 seconds to fully boot the WAT-2400 from the power supply start.
