standard 10/100BaseT hub, router, or switch.
• The IP camera requires a 24 VAC power source that is isolated from the ground (floating output).
• If you are using an external speaker, microphone, input device, or output device, you must configure
additional settings after installing and performing the initial set up of the IP camera before the
external device can fully operate. For detailed information about these settings, see
Chapter 3,

• If you do not connect an external device (speaker, microphone, input device, output device, or
control device) when you perform the following installation procedure, you can install any of these
devices later.
