Internet connection with static IP
Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera.
Please refer to LAN conguration on page 66 for details.
Internet connection via PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)
Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line. Please refer to
PPPoE on page 87 for details.
Set up the Network Camera through Power over Ethernet (PoE)
When using a PoE-enabled switch
The Network Camera is PoE-compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single
Ethernet cable. Follow the below illustration to connect the Network Camera to a PoE-enabled
switch via an Ethernet cable.
When using a non-PoE switch
If your switch/router does not support PoE, use a PoE power injector (optional) to connect
between the Network Camera and a non-PoE switch.
