Powering Eyes A200
A200 is equipped with a sophisticated system allowing power
from various sources:
80w PoE (Power over Ethernet)
80w PoE is a convenient way to power A200 as it allows both data
and power to be sent through the same standard Ethernet cable.
To take advantage of 80w PoE, the network switch or PoE injector
must support 80w PoE.
Different network switches are capable of providing differing
amounts of total power to all connected devices. A200 uses
approximately 80 watts in PoE mode.
DC
Located at the rear of the A200 is a DC connection port. This
power input socket is capable of accepting 24vDC power. A200
should only be powered by the BirdDog AC adaptor (not
included).
Thermal management
Eyes A200 has been engineered to be passively cooled, no fans
are required. In order to achieve this the entire enclosure of A200
is designed to dissipate heat. The main processor is capable of
operating up to 100º C / 212º F.
Some factors affect how much heat BirdDog will produce, and it
is normal for it to feel warm to the touch.
