Connecting Power
NOTE:
Do not perform this procedure if the dome camera is powered through Power
over Ethernet (POE).
If PoE is not available, the dome camera needs to be powered through the removable
power connector block on the dome camera. Refer to the dome camera diagrams for the
location of the power connector block.
The dome camera can be powered from 12 VDC or 24 VAC. The power consumption
information is listed in the dome camera specifications.
To connect power to the dome camera, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the power connector block from the dome camera.
2. Remove the insulation from ¼” (6 mm) of the power wires.
Do not nick or damage the wires.
3. Insert the two power wires into the two terminals on the dome camera. The
connection can be made with either polarity.
Use a small slotted (5/64” or 2 mm blade width) screwdriver to loosen and
tighten the terminals.
4. Attach the power connector block back into the receptacle on the dome
camera.
