3.2 Power and Network Connection
The camera supports two power options: Power over Ethernet (POE) or a standard DC power supply.
- POE Connection (Recommended): Connect an Ethernet cable from a POE-enabled switch or NVR to the camera's RJ45 port. This provides both power and data through a single cable. Ensure the waterproof cap is used for outdoor installations.
- DC Power Connection: If POE is not available, connect a 12V 2A DC power adapter (not included) to the camera's auxiliary power interface. Then, connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch to the camera's RJ45 port for network access.
