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 camera breakdown.
Please follow the instructions below to complete IP Camera connection.
2.1
Connect Power
For power connection, please refer to section
Connectors (Indoor Only)
for
Indoor models, and see section
Function Cables (Outdoor Only)
for Outdoor
models. Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE. For Indoor models,
use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the camera and a PoE switch. As for
Outdoor models, connect the Ethernet cable to the function cable of the camera
and a PoE switch.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is
in used 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 PoE Network connector of the
camera for Indoor models or the RJ-45 connector of the function cable for
Outdoor models. Then 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 the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are
unlit, please check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
