Connecting External Power
If PoE is not available, the camera needs to be powered through the removable power connector block. Refer
to the diagrams in this guide for the location of the power connector block.
The power consumption information is listed in the product specifications.
To connect power to the power connector block, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the power connector block from the camera.
2. Remove the insulation from ¼” (6mm) of the power wires. Do not nick or damage the wires.
3. Insert the two power wires into the two terminals on the power connector block. The connection can
be made with either polarity.
Use a small slotted (5/64” or 2mm blade width) screwdriver to loosen and tighten the terminals.
4. Attach the power connector block back into the camera.
WARNING — This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or
“LPS” or “Limited Power Source” with output rated 12 VDC, 13 W min. or PoE rated 48 VDC, 13 W min.
External Power Failover
If the camera has power available from both an external Aux power supply and a PoE PSE (Power Sourcing
Equipment) device, the camera will draw power from Aux. In the event that the camera loses power from the
preferred Aux power supply it can transition to drawing power from the PoE PSE device.
H6A and H6X camera models respond differently if they lose power from the preferred Aux power supply. If
an H6X camera loses power from the preferred Aux power supply, the camera is capable of a
SeamlessFailover, meaning the H6X can switch to drawing power from the PoE PSE device without
interruption. Conversely, the H6A camera models experiences a Non-Seamless Failover, meaning the
camera may power off while waiting to transition to PoE power.
Non-Seamless Failover for H6A models
If the camera loses Aux power, the camera will power-off while waiting to transition to PoE power. If the
external Aux power re-energizes, the camera might reboot while transitioning back to using Aux power. The
camera might not reboot if the external Aux power supply reacts quickly enough to the increase in load.
Note: Ensure that sufficient power is manually reserved on the PSE, as the camera will not request
PoE power until the camera loses Aux power.
Seamless Failover for H6XModels
Seamless failover allows the camera to transition between PoE and auxiliary power sources without any
