The Network Camera allows the connection of a Pan/Tilt/Zoom device into the camera.
The RS485 (+) and RS485(-) may be used for connecting such devices.
The supported protocol is Pelco D and Pelco P.

Power-over-Ethernet supported Network Cameras
The Network Camera comes as an optional model which supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Using Power-over-Ethernet as power supplying mode, takes advantage of having a simple connection, with
only one Ethernet Cable to act like Data and Power transmission. And it is not necessary to use any Power
Adapter since the powering will be done directly through the Ethernet Connector.
Below a comparison between a Regular Ethernet connection and a connection using Network Camera with
built-in Power-over-Ethernet.

Note:
For safety precautions, when using a PoE Video Encoder, ensure that the standard Power
Connector has been Deleted before plugging the Ethernet cable (which is attached on the other end to a
PoE Hub / Switch).
