3.3 Connecting the Camera
3.3.1 Ethernet: Power Supply Using a Network Power Adapter (MX PoE)
Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the
10/100 Mbps
Ethernet interface
of the camera and check the LED activity of the corresponding
port of the switch or router. For additional information on this topic, see section 4.11,
Operating Many Cameras, in the Software Manual.
(1) Connect the
Camera
connector of the Network Power Adapter to the
10BaseT/NET
connector of the camera.
2a)
Connecting to an Ethernet switch or router:
• Connect the
LAN/Power
connector of the NPA to an Ethernet connector of
the switch/router or the Ethernet wall outlet.

D12 Camera Manual Part 1
Notes
The MOBOTIX D12
can only be powered using the 10BaseT/NET
connector of the camera
. In order to inject the power supply into the
network cabling,
MOBOTIX PoE products
have proven reliable and
easy to install for one camera (
MX-NPA-3-RJ
), for up to four cameras
(
MX-NPR-4
) and for 8 or 20 cameras (
MX-NPR-8
/
20
; see section
2.10,
Optional Accessories).
It is highly recommended to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS),
which also protect the cameras and the network components against
electrical surges. For more information on this topic, read section 2.3.5,
Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).
Maximum Cable Lengths (Ethernet)
Data/power connection: max.
100 m (110 yards)
Use the MOBOTIX MX-
NPR-4 Network Power
Box for smaller installa-
tions
Use the 19" MOBOTIX
Netpower rack-mount
units to supply power to 8
or 20 cameras (MX-NPR-8
or 20)
Uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) should be in-
stalled
The Network Power
Adapter replaces the
crossover cable when di-
rectly connecting to a
computer
