- Using PoE: Connect a Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet cable from the camera's network port directly to a PoE-enabled NVR or a PoE switch. This single cable provides both power and data.
- Using a Standard Router (without PoE): Connect an Ethernet cable from the camera to your router. Then, connect a 12V DC power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input.
- Ensure all connections are secure and, for outdoor installations, use the provided waterproof kit for the network cable connection.
5.3 Initial Setup with PoE Camera
The camera can be used with a PoE switch or directly with a U-Series PoE NVR. For third-party PoE NVRs, the camera needs to be activated first.
