1. To run network IP camera is best to use a PoE switch such as below:
PoE is simplest method to connect IP cameras, as you get instant results
on power good connections and network activity. And also to save
installation costs not having to run additional power / PSU units etc..
2. Use suitable Cat5e or Cat6 cable connect one end to the PoE and other
to the coupler, and lastly connect to the camera cable RJ45 connector.
3. Check status of LEDs on PoE for indication all is working. Consult your
PoE switch manual for LED status lights. Cameras also have LED status
lights inside or externally. Take notes of locations.
You may notice the camera cable set is a RJ45 and you can indeed connect directly to the PoE switch for
testing purposes. Note: The short length of cable so whilst can be used we recommend to use patch cables.

Search For Device (Need to Know)
You can use various methods to connect / search to the device when
connected. The following lists key points to remember.
Factory reset is found by locating the button on camera, each camera has a
location which can be easily noticed, if in doubt consult the user guide, the
reset location diagram is provided in last few pages of the manuals. Holding
the little black button for 5seconds whilst camera is powered activate reset.
Reset does put camera back to factory defaults including clearing all settings
previously set on camera. Useful when product is re-stocked at warehouse.
Search For Device (UPnP)
Now camera is in a sate in which can be discovered using all the following:

MAC systems do not use UPnP discovery and so if only an Apple system is
available then it will make sure of the Bonjour service. This discovery is this
found from within Safari web browser application.
