1. Network connection and power activation of the camera
The WAT-933＆WAT-2400S 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.
※simply called “WAT-933” from now on if there is no difference in the function “WAT-933”
and “WAT-2400S”
Please supply power by the one or the other of the way above and do not supply the both
power 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 theAC power supplies, connect the camera and the
router directly with exception of the PoE hub from the above. In a closed network
configuration, the DHCP protocol and the router are not required. In that case, connect the
PC and the camera directly in LAN cable.
It takes about 20 seconds to fully boot the WAT-933 from the power supply start.
