Connecting Power
If the dome camera will be connected to a network that supplies Power over Ethernet, then
the steps in this section are not necessary. If Power over Ethernet is not available, the camera
needs to be powered via the removable terminal block on the side of the camera.
The camera can be powered from 24 VAC or 12 VDC. The power consumption specifications
are located in the section titled “Specifications”.
When selecting the wire used to provide power to the camera, be sure to select a gauge that
is heavy enough for the wiring distance. Maximum wiring distances for 24 VAC and 12 VDC
power supplies and different gauges of wire are provided in the table below.
To connect power to the dome camera, complete the following steps:
Remove the terminal block from the dome camera.
Remove the insulation from ¼” (6 mm) of the power wires. Be careful not to nick or
damage the wire.
Using a small slotted (5/64” or 2 mm blade width) screwdriver to loosen and tighten the
terminals, insert the two power wires into the two terminals. The connection can be made
with either polarity.
Plug the terminal block back into the receptacle ( ) on the side of the dome camera.
