Network Connection for PoE/Non-PoE Cameras
The Network Camera comes as an optional model which supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Using Power-over-Ethernet as power supplying mode, takes advantage of having a simple connection, with only
one Ethernet Cable to act like Data and Power transmission. And it is not necessary to use any Power Adapter
since the powering will be done directly through the Ethernet Connector.
Below a comparison between a Regular Ethernet connection and a connection using Network Camera with
built-in Power-over-Ethernet.
Note:
For safety precautions, when using a PoE Video Encoder, ensure that the standard Power
Connector has been removed before plugging the Ethernet cable (which is attached on the other end to a
PoE Hub / Switch).
