Connecting the camera
2.4.5.
You can connect a PoE-featuring IP camera to the rear [CAM1]~[CAM8], RJ45 port using the CAT5 10/100Mb Ethernet
cable without a separate power source.
Connect IP cameras to the [CAM9] ~ [CAM16] ports of the hub, and connect [LAN (DOWNLINK)] port and the hub’s
[NVR] port with an Ethernet cable to establish connections for channel 9~16 cameras.
If the IP camera provides the alarm I/O port or Audio I/O port, you can make alarm or audio connection. For
more details, refer to the user manual of the IP camera.
The Ethernet connection is effective within 100 meter in distance. Beyond that, you may encounter a data
loss or failure to connect to the camera. If you need to make cable connection of longer than 100 meters,
use a separate PoE extender for cable extension.
Total power requirements of connected cameras should be less than 48V of PoE device’s rated power
(main unit: 95W, external PoE hub: 72W). If it exceeds the nominal power capacity, video may not be
displayed or the camera may malfunction. In such cases, supply power to the camera separately.
Even if total power requirement meets PoE device’s power capacity, a camera of more than 15W power
requirement per a port cannot be used.
Each camera’s power consumption can be checked on the network map screen, and total power
consumption should consider camera's maximum possible consumption with optional accessories (such
as IR / heater device).
For stable operation, a dedicated communication line is established for IP cameras in the same network. This
is why network router or hub connection is not allowed.
