Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support

•

The Genie Nano requires a PoE Class 0 or Class 3 (or greater) power source when not using a

separate external power source connected to pins 1 & 2 of the Connector.

•

To use PoE, the camera setup requires a powered computer NIC, or a powered Ethernet switch,

or an Ethernet power injector.

•

The Genie Nano is protected and will not fail in the case of have both an external supply and

PoE connected at the same time.

•

If both supplies are connected and active, the Nano will use the power supply I/O connector.
