(PoE Ready)

Connect the Ethernet cable (customer-provided) to the camera.

Note

• Your PoE hub must be connected to the router. Refer to the manuals of the PoE hub for the instructions of the connection. Additionally, these instructions assume your PC is 

already connected to the Internet and your network includes a router that is UPnP

 (Universal Plug and Play) compliant.

Connect the Ethernet cable (customer-provided) to your PoE hub.

• If the camera's indicator does not light green, see pages 5-6 of the Troubleshooting on the CD-ROM.
• A noise can be heard during tilt operation. This is normal.

Note

• Use a 4-pair UTP/STP cable.
• Do not use a relay connector or a hub between the camera and the PoE hub. These 

devices may disturb the data or electricity transmission.

• If the PoE hub has indicators, the indicator lights on as shown in table below.

• If the PoE hub is turned off or power supply is temporarily cut off by the disconnection 

of the Ethernet cable, it may take time for the PoE hub's indicators to light green.

• The indicator display differs depending on manufacturers, refer to the manuals of the 

PoE hub.
