Chapter 2 Getting Started
Installing the IP Camera
After you install the IP camera, follow the instructions in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP
Camera” section on page 2-5 to access and configure the camera.
Step 7
If you are using the IP camera on a network connection
that does not provide PoE, connect the optional 12 VDC
or 24 VAC power adapter.
First, connect the bare wires at the end of the power
adapter to the terminal block that is provided with the IP
camera:
• With the screws on the terminal block facing down,
take either of these actions:
–
For a 12 VDC power adapter—Put the positive
wire into the slot at the right rear of the terminal
block, put the negative wire into the middle slot
and put the ground wire in the left slot. (On the
Cisco power adapters, the positive wire has a
white stripe and the negative wire has no stripe.)
–
For a 24 VAC power adapter—Put one wire into
the into the slot at the right rear of the terminal
block and put the other wire into the middle slot.
There is polarity, so either wire can go into either
slot.
• Use a small flat-head screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the bottom of the terminal block so that the
power adapter wires are attached securely.
Note The power adapter may include an attached
terminal block that does not fit the IP camera. If
so, remove that terminal block and replace it with
the one that is provided with the IP camera.
Next, plug the terminal block into the power input port on
back of the IP camera. The terminal block fits into the
input port in one way. Make sure that the tabs on the
terminal block face the bottom of the IP camera.
Finally, plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
The IP camera powers up.
Step 8
Check the LEDs on the IP camera.
• The Ready LED lights brightly while the IP camera
starts up. After a few minutes, the Ready LED flashes
briefly then dims.
• The Network LED should be on.
Step 9
Mount the IP camera in the desired location. Connect the mounting device to the threaded mounting
hole on the bottom or top of the IP camera, depending on
your installation requirement.
