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, it retains configuration information.

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

•Use an STP category 5 or higher network cable to connect the IP camera to a network switch that provides 802.3af compliant PoE

•Use an external 12 V 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

There are various reset types, as described in Table 2-2.
