Using PoE++ Power

When the unit is connected to a PoE++ compatible power delivery device, power is supplied to the unit via a commercially available network cable.

This method enables power to be supplied to the unit without the need for power supply wiring in environments where there is no power supply outlet near the mounting location.

However, the following functions cannot be used during operation using a PoE++ power supply.

  • Clip recording/playback
  • Recording media initialization/update
  • Video output from the OPTICAL connector

Also, the pan/tilt acceleration is restricted.

  1. Connect the unit and a PoE++ compatible power delivery device using a commercially available network cable.

  2. Check that the POWER lamp on the front of the unit changes from blinking green to solid green and that startup has finished.

    When the unit has started normally and connected to the network, the NETWORK lamp will light up green.

    Note

    • When power is supplied by PoE++, initial authentication is performed during the interval until startup has finished.

Note

  • The unit conforms to IEEE802.3bt Type 4 Class 8. For details about verified compatible PoE++ power delivery devices, contact your dealer or Sony service representative.
  • The unit is compliant with soft authentication (LLDP), but it may be necessary to configure network devices (IEEE802.3bt compliant).
  • Do not connect a DC power cable to the DC IN connector when using PoE++ power delivery with soft authentication (LLDP) enabled.
  • If a DC power supply and PoE++ power delivery device are connected at the same time, power is supplied from the DC power supply.
  • When supplying power via PoE++, use a Category 5e or higher network cable.
  • Wait about 10 seconds after turning the unit on again when powered via PoE++.
  • When connecting via PoE++ power delivery, do not run wiring outdoors.
