PoE Easy Installation, Plug & Play
PoE cameras require only one Ethernet cable to connect to a PoE NVR/switch. This single cable provides both power and network connectivity, simplifying installation. Ensure your Reolink NVR (models RLN8-410:N7MB01, RLN16-410:N6MB01, RLN36:N5MB01) supports 16MP display. The recommended PoE Switch for use is 802.3at, with a single port power of more than 25W.

Flexible Installation Options
The camera supports both wall and ceiling installation. The design allows for manual adjustment of the camera angle (up to 255° vertically and 240° horizontally for the floodlights, and 360° for the camera module) to achieve optimal coverage. The device has an IP66 waterproof rating, ensuring rugged durability for outdoor use.
