IP4M1025e POE camera question - alternate power supply?

Post by BVH »

On page 9 of the manual for the subject camera, it seems to be saying that instead of receiving its power over the ethernet cable via an injector or power switch, it can use a typical wall wart power supply? Quote from the manual:

"In addition to connecting the camera to a computer, the camera can also be connected to a power source, by
connecting the power cable to both a power outlet, and the camera.

Note: If the camera is using a PoE (Power over Ethernet) connection, DO NOT connect the camera to a power
source, otherwise this can result in a major malfunction."

Does this camera come with a typical wall wart PS or can I buy just the wall wart PS through amcrest instead of using an injector or power swith to ultimately power the camera over ethernet?

Hello BVH,

The camera does not come with a power adapter. It is possible to use a power adapter with this camera if needed. You need a 12 volt power supply with pin size 5.5 x 2.1 mm.
