Powering the IP Camera On or Off

Powering the IP Camera On or Off

The IP camera does not include an on/off switch. You power it on or off by connecting it to or disconnecting it from a power source. When you power off the IP camera, configuration settings are retained.

To power on the IP camera, take either of these actions:

Use an STP (shielded twisted pair) Category 5 or higher network cable to connect the IP camera to a network switch that provides 802.3af compliant PoE

Use an optional 12 VDC or 24VAC power adapter to connect the IP camera to a wall outlet

To power off the IP camera, take either of these actions:

If the IP camera is receiving PoE, disconnect the network cable

If the IP camera is receiving power through the power adapter, unplug the adapter from the wall or disconnect it from the camera

Resetting the IP Camera

You reset the IP camera by pressing the Reset button on the rear of the device (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5). There are various reset types, as described in Table 2-4.

You also can also perform these reset operations from the Maintenance Settings window as described in the “Maintenance Settings Window” section on page 3-31.

Managing the Local Storage

The 4000E Series IP cameras have a USB port that can support an optional USB flash drive (up to 8 GB) for local storage purposes. If local storage is available on an IP camera and the camera loses network connectivity, video data storage switches to the local USB flash drive.

For security purposes, video data stored on the USB flash drive is encrypted. To view the encrypted video, you must decrypt it to H.264 format. Encrypted files cannot be decrypted directly from a USB flash drive on an IP camera; before they can be decrypted, they must either be downloaded to your PC, or the USB flash drive must be moved from the IP camera to your PC.
