How to use

Mount the camera at the chosen outdoor location using appropriate brackets and mounting hardware compatible with the camera housing. Connect the camera to a PoE-capable network switch or injector to provide both power and data over a single Ethernet cable.

Recommendations

Position the camera to minimize direct exposure to extreme glare or backlighting and ensure the housing seals and connectors are inspected periodically. Use PoE switches with the required power budget and reliable surge protection for outdoor network runs. Regularly verify firmware updates and configure appropriate recording schedules or motion detection settings to optimize storage and review workflows.
