ETHERNET/POE Port

a

Connects to a PC or a network via a hub with a 10 BASE-T/100 BASE­TX 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).
