PoE Power Mode Switch
Your camera includes a PoE power mode switch where you can select from two 60W PoE options if
connecting to a 60W midspan injector or switch.
l
A = Legacy PoE
Select Legacy PoE (A) to power your camera using legacy (prior to IEEE 802.3bt) 60W/90W PoE
power sources such as the Microsemi PD9501xx, PD9601xx, and PDS-104GO. Legacy mode should
not be required for 802.3at (30W PoE+) power sources.
l
B = IEEE 802.3bt PoE
Select IEEE 802.3bt PoE (B) to power your camera using a PoE switch or midspan injector that uses
the new IEEE 802.3bt standard or IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE power sources up to 30W.
Connecting to Power and External Devices
CAUTION —
Be careful to only connect power to the Auxiliary Power Wires or the camera will be
damaged.
If PoE is not available, the camera may be powered through the auxiliary power cable using either a 24 V DC
or 24 V AC (RMS) auxiliary power source that supports up to 51 W or 75 VA.
If auxiliary power and PoE are connected at the same time, Aux power will take priority and provide power
to the camera. Connecting Aux power while the camera is running on PoE may cause the camera to reboot.
To power the camera, connect the two power wires to the red and black auxiliary power wires. The
connection can be made with either polarity.
