Installing the IP Camera

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074

Warning The power supply must be placed indoors. Statement 331

Note If you use the IP camera outdoors, place the camera and the power supply in a suitable NEMA enclosure.

Warning This product must be connected to a power-over-ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source. Statement 353

Caution Inline power circuits provide current through the communication cable. Use the Cisco provided cable or a minimum 24AWG communication cable.

Note The power adapter that you use with the IP camera must provide power that is within +/–10% of the required power.

Note The equipment is to be connected to a Listed class 2, limited power source.

To install the IP camera, follow the steps in Table 2-1. For illustrations of the connectors and ports that the steps refer to, see the “IP Camera Physical Details” section on page 1-3.

Step 1

Attach a lens to the lens opening on the IP camera.

If you are using a CS mount lens, screw the lens into

 

 

the lens opening. The IP camera accepts CS-mount

 

 

lenses with a lens protrusion of up to 5 mm.

 

 

If you are using a C mount lens, screw the C mount

 

 

lens adapter that is supplied with the IP camera into

 

 

the lens opening, then screw the lens into the adapter.

 

 

Ensure that the lens is clean because any dirt may degrade

 

 

the quality of video images.

 

 

Note Save the lens opening dust cap and replace the dust

 

 

cap if you remove the lens.
