2.7.1
Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. We recommend
•
using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar high-quality PoE product to loop-in
the power supply:
one camera:
• with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
multiple cameras:
• with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)
The
• of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable
is
100 m.
Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the
• 10/100 Mbps
of the camera. Check the LED activity of the corresponding port
at the switch or router.
It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup
•
power.
If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Power-over-Ethernet network
•
components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that
these components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX
cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system
is increased, thus extending the life of these components.
PoE Variables2.7.2
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
connected expansion modules (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the
browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system
design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
