4.2 Power and Network Connection

This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a DC 12V power adapter (not included).

• PoE Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE switch or PoE NVR to the camera's RJ45 port. This provides both power and data.
• DC 12V Connection: If not using PoE, connect a DC 12V power adapter (sold separately) to the camera's power input, and an Ethernet cable to a router or network switch for data.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Ensure the PoE switch/NVR is powered on and the Ethernet cable is securely connected.
  • If using a DC 12V adapter, verify it is properly connected and the power outlet is functional.
• No Video Feed:
  • Check network connectivity. Ensure the camera and viewing device are on the same network or properly configured for remote access.
  • For web browser access on Windows, ensure the necessary plug-in is installed and enabled.
  • Verify the camera is activated if using a new NVR.
• Poor Image Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Check network bandwidth. H.265+ compression helps, but a congested network can affect streaming quality.
  • Ensure sufficient lighting for night vision.
• False Motion Alerts:
  • Adjust motion detection sensitivity settings in the app or NVR.
  • Utilize human/vehicle detection features to filter out irrelevant motion.
