■Using PoE

This camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). This means that you can install the camera in locations where there is no 24 VAC/12 VDC power outlet nearby.

¥If you are using PoE, do not use the camera’s power terminals (24 VAC/12 VDC).

¥Do not power the PoE hub or PoE power adapter until you finish connecting the camera.

¥When the PoE power supply is used, you cannot record video to an external hard disk drive.

You can use a PoE-compatible switching hub to extend the transmission distance.

For details on the extendable distance, please refer to the hub performance in the specifications, etc. For how to connect the PoE power supply, refer to the electronic manual.
