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
