Connecting to the Network
Connecting to the Network
Use the following steps to connect the camera to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch:
Step 1
Connect the camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better) to a PoE Plus switch.
A30W PoE output port alone cannot drive the onboard heater. If using the PoE switch, the
application does not apply in low-temperature condition. A 30W PoE plus can only drive the camera
when it is working at a temperature higher than -10ºC.
Step 2
Connect the power wires to an AC 24V power adaptor (user-supplied).
The AC 24V adapter can drive the camera and the onboard heater. You can connect both power
sources for redundancy in power supply.
If you are using a non-PoE switch, use a high power PoE power injector with a 60W output to connect
between the camera and non-PoE switch.
Sufficient power is required for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated.
What to do next
•
After you install the PTZ IP camera, follow the instructions in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of
the IP Camera” section on page 3-1
to access the camera through your network.
•
After completing the initial setup, use the PTZ IP camera user interface in the Managing the Camera
section to adjust the focal length and zoom factor.
