Camera Cabling
Before users connect cables, make sure that all cables and the power adaptor
are placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes.
The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and moisture
penetration into cables, which might lead to device breakdown. Please refer to
the following sections for camera connection.
2.1
Connect Power
For power connection, please refer to section
Connectors
. Alternatively, users
can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch is
available. Please refer to the section below for Ethernet cable connection.
NOTE:
If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
2.2
Connect Ethernet Cable
To have best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera,
and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
NOTE:
In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the IP camera directly to PC.
Check the status of both power and network activity indicator LEDs. If either LED
is unlit, please check the corresponding connection.
Green Power LED lights up when the camera is powered up.
Orange Network LED (1) flashes when data is being transmitted
over network, (2) lights up for good network connection.
