The AvertX PRO Series recorder is equipped with an on-board Power
over Ethernet (PoE) switch. This enables you to automatically connect
to any AvertX camera by connecting the camera to the IP network port
and enabling the PnP feature in the Camera menu (See the Earlier
Chapter).
A situation may arise in which the on-board PoE switch is not sufficient,
or you will need to disable the PnP feature and configure your cameras
manually. This appendix provides instructions for these scenarios.
If your camera is installed more than 300 feet away from the PRO
Series recorder, you will need to connect it to an external PoE Switch in
order to relay power to your camera. Additionally, you can install a
camera virtually anywhere and connect it to your local network, using a
PoE switch to provide power to the device.
The camera connects to the PoE switch using a Cat5 Ethernet cable.
The PoE switch will need a power source as well as a network
connection to your router.
Tip If you are using an AvertX camera, you can connect the camera
directly to the recorder temporarily to configure the IP address and
settings, then re-connect the camera to your external switch.
1. Ensure that your PoE switch is correctly installed, following the
manufacturer instructions.
2. Connect your camera to the external PoE switch.
3. Follow the instructions in your camera user manual to view and
change the camera IP address using a PC on the same network.
Write down the IP address of your camera for future use.
