Powering Up the Fixed IP Camera

The camera is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device

compliant with the IEEE802.3af standard. The 8000 camera

variants dissipate 7W maximum power, with the 9000 variants

dissipating 8W maximum.

There are four methods of powering up the camera:

• Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

• Using a PoE Injector

• Using a PoE Midspan

• Using Auxiliary Power (24v AC/DC)

These methods are detailed below.

Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

To power up the camera using a PoE-compliant switch, attach a

CAT5 cable between the camera and the PoE switch.

Using a PoE Injector

If a PoE switch is not available, the camera can be powered

using a PoE injector, such as Phihong PSA1GU-480.

Using a PoE Midspan

If a PoE switch is not available, the camera can be powered

using a PoE Midspan.
