c. Tighten the screws to secure the inserted power wires. Make sure that the exposed wires are 

completely hidden after tightening the screws (

Figure 19

).

Figure 19. Power cord plug

Table 1

 shows the power plug terminals and the related wires.

d. Insert the power plug into the power terminals on the mounting side of the camera. Make sure the 

power plug is inserted into the power terminals firmly.

Power over Ethernet (PoE).  

When using PoE, connect a LAN cable (CAT5 or better) between a PoE 

device (such as a PoE hub) and the network connector of the camera.

Use all four pairs (eight pins) of the LAN cable.

The maximum cable length is 328 ft. (100 m).

Make sure the PoE device you use is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard.

When connecting both the 12 VDC/24 VAC power supply and the PoE device for power supply, 
the PoE will be used for power supply. 

If the LAN cable is disconnected, wait at least 2 seconds before re-inserting the cable to ensure the 
PoE device supplies power.

3. Connect a LAN cable (CAT5 or better) to the network connector on the mounting side of the camera 

(

Figure 20

).
