Installation Guidelines
This section describes how to install the IP camera. Before installing, review these guidelines:
•
The IP camera requires a network cable and a connection to a standard 10/100BaseT router or
switch. To power the IP camera with Power over Ethernet (PoE), a switch must be 802.3af
compliant.
•
If you are using the IP camera on a network connection that does not provide PoE, you must use a
Cisco 12 VDC power adapter (Cisco part number CIVS-PWRPAC-12V) or a third-party 24 VAC
power adapter.
•
If you are using an input device, output device, or pan/tilt control device, you must configure
additional settings after installing and performing the initial set up of the IP camera before the
external device can fully operate. For detailed information about these settings, see the
Cisco Video
Surveillance 6000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide
.
•
If you do not connect an external device (input, output, or pan/tilt control) when you perform the
following installation procedure, you can install any of these devices later.
Warnings Before Installation
•
Power off the Network Camera as soon as
smoke or unusual odors are detected.
Contact your distributor in the event of this
happening.
•
Keep the Network Camera away from
water. If the Network Camera becomes wet,
power off immediately.
Contact your distributor in the event of this
happening.
