1. For later reference, enter the device’s serial number. This
number, “the MAC”, is found on the underside of the
camera:
2. Before installing the camera in its final location, connect
the router to “Data In” on the PoE injector and connect the
injector’s “Data & Power Out” port to the Camera using
Cat-5 network cables. Note: Runs can be no longer than 100
meters. Connect the PoE injector to a power outlet.
3. If you intend to take advantage of the camera’s onboard
heater, the camera must be powered using a 12VDC/24VAC
power supply. Attach the camera’s “Power” connector
to the power cable adapter using the optional Phoenix
connector and plug in a power supply to the female barrel
connector. When using a separate power supply, the PoE
injector is no longer necessary. Instead use a Cat-5 network
cable to connect the camera’s network jack to the router.

you intend to use MMS to send video to a mobile phone, do not
select a resolution higher than 480p. For 720p or 1080p, send the

(ex: [email protected]). Use the Test button to confirm that the video
