2.2 Network Connections Overview
2.2.1 Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE Conforming to IEEE 802.3af)
All D15 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set
(MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, we recom-
mend investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market. For detailed
information on power supply options and on connecting the D15 camera, please see
Section 2.7.1, «Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply» and the following sections.
Caution
The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable
is 100m.
Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA-Set, Power-Box
and Power-Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for
use with the D15.
Note
The MOBOTIX D15 can also be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE
(Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE802.3af.
Advantages of PoE power supply:
• Centralized backup power supply available via network
• Lower, more cost-eective power consumption
• Camera does not require an additional network connection
