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)
Please connect the camera to an AC 24V or PoE power source as the main power supply, and then connect DC
12V as the secondary power supply. If the main power source fails, the camera will switch power input seamlessly
to the DC12V port until the main 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 Power LED lights up when the camera is powered up.
Orange Network LED (1) flashes when data is being transmitted over network,
(2) lights up for good network connection.
NOTE:
The ITE is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant or equivalent
description.
