“Caution” may incur injury and cause damage to peripheral objects in the immediate surroundings.
“Notice” indicates instructions which must be completed.

Power Supply
Power for the camera can either supplied by the PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC power supply.
・PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Use the PoE hub or NVR supporting IEEE802.3af for the PoE power supply.
・DC power supply
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12-36V with a current capacity of more than 500mA.
Wiring of the connector must be exact (see “Description of Parts” (P.4) “⑨4P Cable” ).
Utilize the option SWI12-12-N-P5 (Power supply adaptor), CB-06, CB-07 and/or CB-09 (Cable with connectors).
When PoE and DC power are supplied at the same time, the priority is given to PoE. When PoE power supply is interrupted
during PoE power supply due to such as cable disconnection, it will automatically switch to DC power supply. When PoE power
supply is restored, it will automatically switch back to PoE power supply. The power supply priority cannot be changed.
Failure to observe the precautions above may result in damage to the camera, power adaptor and ﬁre.
