In a typical scenario cameras are connected using network cables to a network switch. A camera can
also be connected to a PC or laptop directly by using a cross-over network cable between the camera
and PC.
When a camera is connected directly, you may need to change the TCP/IP configuration on your PC.
For example, the PC may need to be configured to use a static IP address.
When a PoE injector is used and connected directly to a PC, there are two networking cables. One
cable connects the PC to the PoE injector, while the other connects the injector to the camera. Only
one of these cables should be cross-over. The other cable must be a regular, straight through cable.

levels and may not work correctly with high bandwidth 100BaseT equipment.

If the image sharpness appears to be low:
• Check if the lens is in focus.
• Check if the lens is appropriate for a megapixel camera.
• Under the Image Quality menu decrease compression and increase sharpness.
• Check if the lens iris is fully open or closed down too much. For best resolution and depth of
field the iris (depending on lens make and model) should be closed by 2-3 F-stop.
