time in lower light levels. It’s important to note that the maximum frame rate is reduced as
exposure time increases. The image remains in full color until below one Lux, after which it
transitions to black and white for better contrast. Exposure priority is accessible from the
Camera Web Interface;
Video/Audio > Image Settings > Exposure Priority.
Consider where the sun might rise and set, this may interfere with the image over time.
Connection
Power requirements
The Indoor C-12 is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect power and data using an
Ethernet cable plugged into the camera Ethernet port. The PoE supply equipment must be
compliant with IEEE 802.3AF.
The C-12 Outdoor Plus can be powered in two ways using either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or
Direct DC Input.
For PoE, connect power and data using an Ethernet cable plugged into the camera Ethernet
port. The PoE supply equipment must be compliant with IEEE 802.3AF.
For direct DC Input use only a UL/CSA
-
approved LPS or NEC Class 8-28 VDC, 15W LPS,
power supply (not supplied). The power source must be connected with the correct polarity. Do
not use an excess of 28 VDC from an external power supply. Doing so may damage the camera
and void the warranty.
RJ45 and Punch Down
For increased flexibility during camera installation, two methods of connection to the Oncam C-
12 camera are available - RJ45 and Punch Down (or IDC).
As part of the installation, if a network installer is bringing ethernet to every camera position
then you can plug the cable straight into the camera. If you are running your own infrastructure
and are terminating the cable, then you can either use punch down or add RJ45 connector on
the end.

Surface Mounting
Using a spirit level to make sure it is straight, affix the drilling template to the wall by removing
the self-adhesive backing.
If you are concerned about the adhesive on a delicate surface, put the drilling template on
work trousers or other cloth to make it less sticky.
Identify if you are going to install using the punch down or RJ45 connector, using a bradawl or
sharp point mark the two holes for the screws and the one hole for the ethernet cable.
Remove the drilling template carefully from the wall.
