Adding Camera via PoE Interface
For Blazer Express/16/8P, Blazer Express/16/16P, and Blazer Express/32/16P, PoE
interfaces are available for enabling the Blazer Express to pass electrical power safely,
along with data, on Ethernet cabling to the connected network cameras.
Warnings
PoE ports do not comply with Limited Power Source. The additional equipment
connected to PoE ports shall have fire enclosure.
Notes:
The camera to be connected via PoE interface should support PoE function.
For the PoE camera that is active, if its admin user’s password is the same as the
Blazer Express’s, it will be added to the system automatically. If its admin user’s
password is different with the Blazer Express’s, you need to add it to system
manually.
For the PoE camera that is inactive, Blazer Express will automatically activate it
and set its admin user’s password as the Blazer Express admin user’s password.
And it will be added to the system automatically.
Steps:
1.
Use the PoE interface on the rear panel and a network cable with RJ-45
connectors to connect the network camera to Blazer Express.
2.
On the device list, the cameras are added automatically.
Note:
If it is not added or you delete the camera from the device list manually,
unplug the camera and reconnect the camera to the Blazer Express via PoE
interface after two minutes to add the camera.
