| 11 | Network port | Network port, supporting routers or hubs with power supply: PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt) |
| 12 | 12 VDC power connector | DC power input from AC Power Adapter (included). Alternatively, the camera can be powered through the network port if the network is capable of PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt). |
| 13 | IR SELECT | Assigns a number (1, 2, or 3) to the camera for IR (infra-red) remote control. This enables you to use a single remote control unit to control up to three cameras in an area. When using the remote control unit, you press a Camera select button (1, 2, or 3) to specify which camera you want to control. Tip: Using the DashBoard PTZ Camera Control plugin, you can disable remote control IR reception to prevent accidental changes being made by remote control. IR is automatically re- enabled when the camera is powered off/on. For more information, see “DashBoard Control”, and the User Manual for PTZ Camera Control Plugin (8351DR-015). |
