VIVOTEK - Built with Reliability
User's Manual - 17
1. The PoE ports come with a limitation on power budget. Every 4 ports share a 40 watts
power budget. For network cameras that consume large or additional amount of power, e.g.,
speed dome or those with embedded IR lights or heater, it is recommended you power these
cameras with DC or AC power. You can still connect the Ethernet cables from these cameras
to the NVR for data transmission. You can use VIVOTEK's design tool to evaluate the power
consumption of network cameras:

IMPORTANT:
If you connect the NVR to a PoE port of the AW-FED series PoE switch, make sure you turn off
the PoE output on that specific port using the onboard DIP switch. Otherwise, the high power
output can damage the LAN port on NVR.

Please note that when a network camera is powered by a DC/AC source, connect the power
lines first, before you connect the Ethernet cable. The network cameras will use the DC/AC
source as the main power source.
