What you need. Fitting and setup.
Before installation
- Plan a Cat6 Ethernet cable run to the back of each camera. For PoE, connect the other end to a compatible PoE NVR camera port or a PoE switch connected to your network. A suitable PoE injector is another option.
- Without PoE, the camera needs its specified 12 V DC supply as well as the Ethernet connection. Standard Ajax NVR and NVR H recorders do not supply camera PoE power.
- For recordings, add a compatible microSD card or a network recorder with a suitable drive. Recording storage, network cabling and power equipment are separate requirements.
Fitting and setup
Have the installer check the view and cable route before fixing the camera. Use suitable fixings, protect external connections with the specified waterproof connector and seal cable entries. Add the camera to the Ajax app, adjust its view, configure recording and detection areas, and test day and night coverage.
An Ajax alarm hub is optional for linked alarm features; it does not replace the camera power supply or video recorder.
Power and network equipment
For one camera on an existing non-PoE network, the Grandstream injector provides active PoE+ power: connect the network to its LAN input and the camera to its PoE output. For several cameras, a suitable Uniview or Reyee PoE switch provides powered camera ports and a separate network uplink.
Use one suitable power route, not an injector and a PoE switch for the same camera. Match the camera's PoE requirement and maximum power demand, both per port and against the switch's shared budget. Keep the switch or injector indoors; outdoor cameras still need protected connections and suitable cable routing.
