3.2. Camera Power
The MER2-G-P series camera can get power in either of two different ways: via PoE (Power over Ethernet)
or via Hirose I/O port. The MER2-G series cameras can be powered in one way: via Hirose I/O port.
1) Via PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Via PoE (Power over Ethernet), i.e., via the Ethernet cable plugged into the camera's RJ45 jack. Use the
IEEE 802.3af compliant PSE (Power sourcing equipment) to power the MER2-G-P camera.
2) Via the Hirose I/O port
The MER2-G (-P) camera can get power from the 8-pin Hirose I/O port via a standard I/O cable.
Nominal operating voltage is +12V (± 10%) ~ +24VDC (± 10%).
When you supply power to the MER2-G-
P camera both via the camera’s RJ45 jack and via the 8-pin
Hirose I/O port, the camera will get power via the Hirose I/O port. And if you cut off the Hirose I/O port, the
camera will get power via PoE and may restart.
1) Voltage outside of the specified range can cause damage.
2) The plug on the cable that you attach to the Hirose 8-pin receptacle must have 8 female pins.
Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the connector.
See the
of section 7.3 for the definition of IO port.
