The ZS Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a PoE Switch.
The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.
The ZS automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera. (192.168.78.11 ~ 254)
The ZS models will automatically map the camera on the PoE Port to the corresponding ZS channel number.
Figure 2.5.2. Incorrect connection with the PoE Ports
With the ZS Models, it is prohibited to connect a router to the POE Ports to connect the IP Camera, the ZS will not be able to find and connect to the camera. The LAN Port can be connected to a router, but not the PoE Ports.
