Part Names and Functions

kVIDEO OUT

Supplies analog video signal (composite) to the connected device.

lAUDIO IN (Line Level Input)

Input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal.

mETHERNET/POE Port

Connects to a PC or a network via a hub with a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cable attached RJ-45 connector.

Note:

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the device locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
