5.2 Power and Network Connection (PoE)

This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's RJ45 (PoE) port. Use the waterproof connector for outdoor installations.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE switch, PoE injector, PoE router, or a PoE NVR.
3. Alternatively, if not using PoE, connect a 12V DC power adapter (not included) to the DC 12V Power Port and connect the Ethernet cable to a standard router or NVR.
