Power/Ethernet connection
The FD810V1IR is powered by PoE (15 W).
2.1
Connect the Ethernet cable
Before you connect the Ethernet cable, make sure that the cable and the PoE
switch are placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, such as
waterproof boxes. The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the
camera and moisture penetration into cables, which might lead to camera
breakdown.
For best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 metres.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera.
Connect the other end of the cable to the PoE switch.
Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs
are unlit, check the LAN connection.
A green link light indicates a good network connection.
An orange activity light flashes for network activity indication.
2.2
Waterproof cable connectors
Follow the instruction below to waterproof the connector of the RJ-45 cable
Plug the Ethernet cable to the connector of
the RJ-45 cable and coat the joint with
silicone gel. Make sure there is no gap
between the Ethernet cable and the
connector; otherwise, the waterproof function
cannot be guaranteed.
