2.5.4 PoE Variables
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
peripheral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the
browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system
design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af standard)
Class Max. power consumption
Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
1
0.44 W–3.84 W
Low power mode (available soon); no peripheral
devices
2
3.84 W–6.49 W (factory default)
Normal mode; max. 1 W for peripheral devices
3
6.49 W–12.95 W
Full power mode; max. 4 W for peripheral devices
(e.g. MX-GPS-Box on MxBus)
The MOBOTIX factory default is PoE class 2.
This default setting is usually fine, and noth-
ing needs to be changed. However, the PoE power class must be changed in the browser
if the higher power class 3 is required for your application:
1.
Select Admin Menu >
Network Setup > Ethernet
Interface
(for experts).
2. Click on
Change
under
Power Supply
.
3. A
Power Wizard
will appear
to guide you through the
PoE configuration steps.
4. Next, restart the camera:
Disconnect the camera
from the power supply. Then
reconnect it, for example,
by disconnecting and then
reconnecting the Ethernet
cable at the PoE switch.
MOBOTIX factory
default is class 2
