2.2.2 Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you should
install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide full protection
against electrical surges and voltage fluctuations and thus enhance the reliability of the
system as a whole.
When using a more powerful 19" rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network
components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).
Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average
power consumption of less than five watts is comparatively low. This, in turn, means that
you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet
cables (max. 100 m). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX
PoE products (MX-NPA-PoE plus Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches
according to IEEE 802.3af.
2.2.3 Preparing The Camera Connections, Wall Outlets
Once the camera position, the position of the cable connectors, and the method of power
supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX
D15D, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested, so
that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.
