Connections
The IRIS490 has a short breakout cable with a DC power jack socket and an RJ45
socket, which allows connections for power and data.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) (Standard)
As standard, power to the camera is delivered via the CAT5e STP ethernet connection
from a PoE
ethernet hub (not supplied). Always use suitably rated CAT5e STP cable, with straight-
through pin to pin wiring.
DC Power Supply (Optional)
If no PoE Ethernet hub is available, the IRIS490 may be powered by an optional 12V
DC supply. Although the camera draws much less current during operation, allow for a
2A peak surge during power up. Always use suitably rated cable to deliver power to the
camera.
