3.2. Cabling
Power Connection
DC 12V cable is required for thie device. Make sure the polarity is correct before you connect
the power cable. Incorrect connection may cause malfunction or damage to the IP device.
Video connection
Connect a LAN cable to the LAN connector of the device to retrieve the IP devices. Connect a
display device (such as monitor) to the Video output connector on the back panel of the device
using 75 ohm video coaxial cables with a BNC connector. c
Audio connection
The device supports two way mono audio for H.264 encoder only. Since the output power for
the audio is low, an amplifier speaker is needed for a clearer sound.
Audio input range: 0.01/3.3 (Min/Max)
