Installation Guidelines

This section describes how to install the IP camera. Before installing, review these guidelines:

The IP camera requires a network cable and a connection to a standard 10/100BaseT router or switch. To power the IP camera with Power over Ethernet (PoE), a switch must be 802.3af compliant.

If you are using the IP camera on a network connection that does not provide PoE, you must use a Cisco 12 VDC power adapter (Cisco part number CIVS-PWRPAC-12V) or a third-party 24 VAC power adapter.

If you are using an input device, output device, or pan/tilt control device, you must configure additional settings after installing and performing the initial set up of the IP camera before the external device can fully operate. For detailed information about these settings, see the Cisco Video Surveillance 6000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.

If you do not connect an external device (input, output, or pan/tilt control) when you perform the following installation procedure, you can install any of these devices later.
