It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ con-
trols before permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ con-
trols, see 5

OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR
1. Connect the PoE connector on the camera cable to the included Ethernet

OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Net-
work (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same router (not included) as the NVR. For these installations, an external
PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (not included) must be used to
provide power to the camera. You must also add the camera on the NVR be-
fore it will show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
PoE is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power to
connected devices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE ports to provide
power and PTZ commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the
