microSD Card Slot

Camera Cabling
Please follow the instructions below for cable connections.
Power Connection
Please use a DC 12V/AC 24V power adaptor and plug it into the DC12V power jack of the camera and the power outlet. Alternatively, users can use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ-45 connector of the camera and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch.
Zero Downtime Power Switching (ZDT)
When users connect the DC12V power jack and the RJ-45 port at the same time, the power input comes from the RJ-45 connector. If the RJ-45 power source fails, the camera will switch power input seamlessly to the DC12V port until the RJ-45 power source is restored.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
NOTE: Check the status of both power and network activity indicator LEDs. If either LED is unlit, please check the
corresponding connection.
Green Power LED lights up when the camera is powered up.
Orange Network LED (1) flashes when data is being transmitted over the network, (2) lights up for a good network connection.
