Cable Connections
This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect
to the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input / Output, Serial devices,
and external Audio Input device using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices,
however, is optional.
Connecting a Power Adapter (Optional)
The camera can be powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is IEEE802.3af
compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power supply, you
can purchase a power adapter and directly connect the camera to a power outlet. The power
adapter must be connected to the supplied terminal block before use.
Map the pins of the power adapter to the terminal block pins. Press and hold the orange tab as
you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange tab to secure the wire. Then
connect the terminal block to the camera.
Take note that a standard power adapter cable has two (2) different wires:
