If you still have some unanswered questions, please feel free to contact us.

  • How does POE work?

    Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that lets network cables carry electrical power.
    For example, a digital security camera normally requires two connections to be made when it is installed:
    A network connection, in order to be able to communicate with video recording and display equipment.
    A power connection delivers the electrical power the camera needs to operate.
    However, if the camera is POE-enabled, only the network connection needs to be made, as it will receive its electrical power from this cable as well.

  • How can I power up the camera?

    There are two methods:
    1. Via an Ethernet cable, connect the camera to a PoE NVR, PoE injector, PoE switch, or directly to a router with a PoE port, for both power supply and video signal transmission.
    Note: Please make sure that the PoE injector/switch is 802.3 af compliant (48V) and supports active mode.
    2. Via a DC 12V 1A power adapter (purchased separately), connect the camera to power outlet for power supply only.

  • What Ethernet cable do I need?

    The camera supports T-568B connectors and 8-PIN Ethernet cables of CAT5 or higher.

  • Where are the recordings stored? Is NVR a must?

    The camera can work without an NVR.
    1. When it works without an NVR, the recordings can be saved to the Micro SD card (purchased separately).
    2. When it works with an NVR, the recordings can be saved to the NVR. 
    Note: For best compatibility, do not use the camera with third-party NVRs.
