Power cord in the case for connecting to AC 24V (Reference value)
Note
Make sure to select only one mode of electrical supply. Connecting the power cord and the LAN cable for
the PoE at the same time may result in failure or malfunction of the camera.
After DHCP timeout, all IP addresses of VN-X35Us are set to 192.168.0.2 by default. When the power of
multiple cameras within the same LAN environment are turned on at the same time, the IP address of
the cameras overlap, thus preventing proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the power of the
cameras one by one and configure IP address that is not duplicated.
C LAN Cable Connection

Note
Make sure that the external microphone is connected to the R ch and not other channels.
When the microphone jack is plugged directly into the unit's [AUDIO IN/ OUT] terminal, loud noises can
be distributed to the network. ( A Page 49 of [INSTRUCTIONS] )
