Other Connections
This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect
to the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and
Audio Input and Output devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices,
however, is optional.
Connecting a Power Adaptor (Optional)
The camera consumes 9.6W power when powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
that is IEEE802.3af compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has
limited power supply, you can purchase a power adaptor and directly connect the camera to a
power outlet. The power adaptor must be connected to the supplied terminal block before use.
To do this, follow the procedures below:
1.
Loosen the screws of the
12V
and
GND
pins of the power terminal block.
2.
Take note that a standard power adaptor cable has two (2) different wires:
White stripe: Connects to 12V Pin
Connects to GND Pin
