Preparing the Installation
Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
You should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in order to maintain a continuous
power supply even when utility power fails. These devices also provide full protection against
electrical surges and voltage uctuations, enhancing the reliability of the system as a whole.
When using a more powerful 19” rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network
components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).
Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power
consumption of less than 5 watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the
UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables (max. 100 m). This
kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX PoE products (MX-NPA-
PoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.
2.1.4 ProvidingtheCameraConnections,MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box
Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power supply
have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before installing the MOBOTIX M16,
you should make sure that the network connections have been thorougly tested so that
the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.
If the camera is to be installed outdoors, you should also install the MOBOTIX
MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box (optional accessory). This interface box not only provides
overvoltage protection of up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras
, it also provides simple
and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (
-RJ45
variant) or
a network installation cable (
-LSA
variant).
