NOTE:
It is not recommended to record with the microSD card for 24/7 continuously, as it may not be able to
support long term continuous data read/write. Please contact the manufacturer of the microSD card for
information regarding the reliability and the life expectancy.
Camera Cabling
Please follow the instructions below for cable connections.
Power Connection
Please use a DC 12V / AC 24V power adaptor and plug it to the camera and the power outlet. Alternatively, users can
use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ-45 connector of the camera and a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
switch.
NOTE:
If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
Zero Downtime Power Switching (ZDT)
When users connect DC12V power jack and the RJ-45 port at the same time, the power input comes from the RJ-45
connector. If the RJ-45 power source fails, the camera will switch power input seamlessly to the DC12V port until the
RJ-45 power source is restored.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, and plug the other end of the cable to
the network switch or PC.
NOTE:
In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when connecting the camera directly to the
PC.
NOTE:
Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit, please check
the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
