Network Deployment

General Connection (without PoE)

1. If you have external DI devices, make the connection from general I/O terminal block.
2. Ethernet, power, and other cables are user-supplied.
3. Connect the AC cables from the terminal block as an alternate power source. The IO cables are user-supplied.

NOTE:
Pin #3 & 4 AC 24V as alternate power are for indoor use only

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

• When using a PoE-enabled switch
  This Network Camera is PoE-compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single Ethernet cable. Follow the below illustration to connect the Network Camera to a PoE-enabled switch via Ethernet cable.

NOTE:

1. This equipment is only to be connected to PoE networks without routing to outside plants.
2. For PoE input connections, use only UL listed I.T.E. with PoE output.

• When using a non-PoE switch
  Use a PoE power injector (optional) to connect between the Network Camera and a non-PoE switch.
