Rebooting the Camera
The camera can be rebooted by PoE control or by removing the network cable.
To reboot using the cable:
Rebooting by re-plugging the cable is often easier as it is usually more accessible. This can be done by unplugging the cable from the port or by unplugging the cable from the camera. To get access to the cable on the camera:
- Remove the white cover to reveal the camera module
- Using the security insert, unscrew the 3 security screws attaching the camera to the backplate
- Unclip the camera module from the backplate and remove the cable from the camera module
- Re-insert the cable into the camera module, re-clip the camera module into the backplate and tighten the security screws, and re-attach the white cover
- Allow the camera time to start (90 seconds)
To reboot with PoE control:
- Identify the switch & port for the camera
- Disable PoE on the port (instructions may vary depending on system)
- Allow time for the change (2-5 minutes)
- Re-enable PoE on the port
- Allow the camera time to start (90 seconds)
