2.6 PoweringUptheSystem
Thesystemandallitselectricalcomponentsshouldbesuppliedwithpowerfromanuninterruptedpowersource.This
willensurethatthecameras,guardstation,andnetworkwillremainfunctioningoverthecourseofpowerloss.The
amphourforthesystemtomaintainpowerwillvarydependonthenumberofcamerasused.Calculationsshouldbe
conductedtoensureadequatebackuppowerisavailabletomaintainthesystemfor24hours.
NOTE:BackuppowersupplyforcamerasshouldadheretotherequirementsofNFPA72andbeNRTLcertifiedforfire.
NOTE:Powerwith12‐24VDC(UL),12VDC(FM)fromULlistedClass2powersupplyforsecurityorfireshouldbeused.
POEmaybeusedassupplementaltothelisted12or24voltpowersupply.
Thevoltagerequiredtooperatethecameraisclearlymarkedontherearpanelofthecamera.ThegreenpowerLED
ontherearandfrontoftheIPcameraindicatesthatpowerisconnected. Powerconsumptionisapproximately 5.0
Watts.TheIPCameraisfittedtoautomaticallyswitchbetweenlowvoltagepowersupplyandPOEifoneistofail.
NOTE:AllwiringshouldbedoneaccordingtoNEC70practices.
2.7 NetworkConfiguration
NOTE:  If your organization uses static IP addresses (i.e. does not use DHCP services) you must provide specific IP
addressestocompletethefollowingsteps.ContactyourITrepresentativeorsystemadministrator.
ConsiderthefollowingwhenconfiguringtheNetworkconnections:
 Typeofnetworkcurrentlyin‐placewithintheorganization
 IPandDNSconfigurationoptions(automaticormanual)
 Numberofcamerasresidingonthesamenetwork
 Futureexpansionplans(howmanycamerasmaybeadded)
 Whowillaccessthesystemandfromwhere(localnetworks,Internet).
2.7.1 NetworkRequirements
TypicalbandwidthtotransfervideofromtheIPcameratotheVideoManagementSystemisminimal.Eachframeis
approximately40to60kbinsize.Therefore,onecameraat2framespersecond(fps)resultsin120kbps.Anoperator
displaying48camerasatonce,(48x120x8)resultsin46,080kbps(46.0Mbps),whichislessthan50%capacityof100
MBnetworkorlessthan5%capacityofa1GBnetwork.However,itishighlyunlikelythatanoperatorwouldview48
camerasatonceononeFikeVideoAnalyticsvideomanagementworkstation,norwouldtheyneedtodoso.
