Connection Type: The etwork Camera and PC connect to the internet

Device needed: Switch Hub

For fixed real IP, set up the IP into the etwork camera and PC. For dynamic IP, start

PPPoE.

3. Con iguration 3

Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem

IP address: one real IP or one dynamic IP

Connection Type: The etwork Camera and PC connect to the internet

Device needed: IP sharing such as Hub / Switch and a Router

only one Ethernet Cable to act like Data and Power transmission. And it is not necessary to use any Power

Adapter since the powering will be done directly through the Ethernet Connector.

Below a comparison between a Regular Ethernet connection and a connection using etwork Camera with

built-in Power-over-Ethernet.
