Connecting the AUTODOME camera to the PC

Note: For simplicity, the graphic in this section is only of the camera. The graphic does not
depict a mount that you may have installed already.
Note: Consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or other regional standards for cable
bundling requirements and limitations.
Note: the non IR camera model requires IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W). The IR camera models
require IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (90W).
The camera connects to a network either directly or through a hub. Video, optional audio
input, optional audio output, and control are transmitted over a standard TCP/IP network
using the built-in Web server. In addition, power can be supplied over the Ethernet cable using
a midspan from Bosch (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3/4 (60W/90W)) (sold separately). Power can also
be supplied over the Ethernet cable and using PoE+ PSEs (midspans or switches) compliant
with the IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) standard.
24 VAC / 36 VDC power source: This unit is intended to operate at 24 VAC or 36 VDC (if PoE
is not available or if redundant power operation is desired). User-supplied wiring must be in
compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
PoE: Use only approved PoE (IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W)) devices. Power-over-
Ethernet can be connected at the same time as a 24 VAC / 36 VDC power supply. If auxiliary
power (24 VAC / 36 VDC) and PoE are applied simultaneously, the camera selects PoE and
stops auxiliary input.
Warning!
Use only approved PoE devices that meet the IEEE 802.3bt, Type3/4 (60W/90W) standard.
Use only approved PoE devices to provide power to the camera, if not using 24 VAC.
!
When powering the camera via PoE or a midspan device, additional surge suppression is
required. Use only IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) devices that support electrically
grounded conduit with liquid tight seals unless the midspan is included in a electrically
grounded cabinet that supports this capability.

Caution!
Cat5e/Cat6 shielded Ethernet cables must be routed through earth-grounded, liquid-tight
!
conduit capable of withstanding the outdoor environment.

Install the camera according to the instructions in the appropriate Installation section of
this manual.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the RJ45 connector on the camera to any of the
following:
a dedicated IEEE 802.3 1000Base-T, or 100Base-TX Ethernet network switch, and then
connect the dedicated network switch to the RJ45 connector on the PC, to bypass the
Local Area Network (LAN). (See the top graphic in the first figure that follows.)
a PC, using an Ethernet crossover cable with RJ45 connectors. (See the bottom graphic
in the first figure that follows.)
a midspan from Bosch that meets the IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) standard (See
the second figure that follows.)
Note: midspans from Bosch with IEEE 802.3at or IEEE 802.3af are not compatible.)
