2. (OPTIONAL) Connect the PTZ camera’s power adapter to a power outlet.
CAUTION
Most PTZ cameras have a higher power requirement than fixed cameras. If you are planning to connect more
than one PTZ camera to the system, check the power requirement in your PTZ camera’s documentation to en-
sure you remain within the total PoE power output of the recorder (80W). Connecting the included power
adapter to your PTZ camera as shown above will force it to draw power from the wall outlet rather than the re-
corder’s PoE switch.
