Figure 7-6 Ethernet Power Savings Settings
The specific behaviour of the camera’s Ethernet Power save is also influenced by the
Power Mode of the camera. Table 7-2 Ethernet Power Save Modes will help to
outline the Ethernet Power saving features versus various Power Modes of the
camera.

Operating Characteristics
Fully On
Always On
• Camera is always on
• Highest Power Consumption
• Ethernet is on and always available for incoming communications.
Moderate Power
Save Mode
• Not
recommended
Full Power Save
Mode
• Camera is always on.
• Average power consumption is reduced by 50mA @12VDC
• The Ethernet is normally turned off and is only enabled when outgoing
communications are required (Email or FTP).
• User needs to push the Setup button to temporarily enable the Ethernet port
for Web page access.
Partially On
Always On
• The camera is effectively off in a low powered state.
• Typical Power consumption is 80mA @12VDC
• Ethernet is on and always available for incoming communications.
• The camera will temporarily wake up to the fully on power mode when traffic
occurs on the network. In situations where there is constant network traffic
then the camera may effectively be in the fully On Power mode.
Moderate Power
Save Mode
• The camera is effectively off in a low powered state.
• Typical Power consumption is 80mA @12VDC
• Ethernet is always off.
• Disconnecting and connecting the camera to another Ethernet device will
momentarily wake up the camera to allow it to process incoming
communications. The camera will go into the low powered mode again if no
communications occur.
Full Power Save
Mode
• The camera is effectively off in a low powered state.
• Average Power consumption is typically 10 mA @ 12VDC.
• The Ethernet is normally turned off and is only enabled when outgoing
communications are required (Email or FTP).
• User needs to push the Setup button to temporarily enable the camera and
Ethernet port for Web page access.
• The camera can respond to RS-232 and RS-485 communications in this
mode.
