Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this camera record without an NVR?
It can record to a Micro Secure Digital card (up to 256GB) when configured, but many sites use a Network Video Recorder for central recording and management. - Can this be powered by a network switch?
Yes, if your switch supports Power Over Ethernet. Otherwise it can be powered by 12V Direct Current. - Is this suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The IP67 rating supports outdoor use, but the cable entry and seals must be installed correctly to maintain weather protection.
Additional Information
- For cleaner installs, many installers use a junction box to protect terminations and improve long term cable reliability.
- Wide Dynamic Range helps when scenes contain both bright sunlight and shaded areas, but correct positioning is still important.
- When using Micro Secure Digital recording, choose a suitable endurance card and confirm overwrite settings are enabled.
