M16 Camera Manual: Installation
2.7.5 Variable PoE
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
peripheral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-
based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE
switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoEPowerLevelClasses(IEEE802.3afstandard)
Class Max.powerconsumption Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
2 3.84 W–6.49 W
Factory default until soware version 5.0.2.x. Supported
only without dual core usage and without peripheral
devices.
3 6.49 W–12.95 W
Factory default since soware version 5.1.0.x with dual
core usage. Max. 2.5 W for MxBus peripheral devices (for
example, MX-GPS-Box and MX-232-IO-Box on MxBus), max.
4 W for peripheral devices to MxBus and USB interface.
Caution
If the total power consumption of the camera and peripheral devices exceeds the power
provided by the PoE switch for the specied class, the switch can disconnect the camera
from the power supply.
In this case, the camera will only be accessible again once
the peripheral devices have been disconnected from the camera and the camera
has been restarted.
The default setting is usually ne, and nothing needs to be changed. However, the PoE
power class must be changed in the browser if a higher or a lower power class is required
for your application:
1. Select Admin Menu > Network
Setup > Ethernet Interface.
2. Click on Change under Power
Supply.
3.
Follow the instructions in the Power
over Ethernet (PoE) dialog, which
will guide you through the PoE con-
guration steps.
4.
Next, restart the camera: Disconnect
the camera from the power supply.
Then reconnect it, for example, by
disconnecting and then reconnec
-
ting the Ethernet cable at the PoE
switch.
Variable PoE: Multiple
cameras can be operated
simultaneously from
the same switch
