IMPORTANT:
1. The PoE ports come with a limitation on power budget. Every 4 ports share a 40 watts
power budget. For network cameras that consume large or additional amount of power, e.g.,
speed dome or those with embedded IR lights or heater, it is recommended you power these
cameras using DC or AC power. You can still connect the Ethernet cables from these cameras
to the NVR for data transmission. You can use VIVOTEK's design tool to evaluate the power
consumption of network cameras: http://www.vivotek.com/design-tool/
40W budget40W budget
Please note that when a network camera is powered by a DC/AC source, connect the power
lines rst, before you connect the Ethernet cable. The network cameras will automatically use
the DC/AC source as the main power source.
2. The system supports the connection to one H.D.D. via the eSATA connection. The system
does not support the connection to external eSATA housings containing multiple H.D.D.s.
3. The Client computers should support IE10 browser at a minimum of 1280x960 resolution or
higher.
WARNING:
If you connect the NVR to a PoE port of the AW-FED series PoE switch, make sure you turn off
the PoE output on that specic port using the onboard DIP switch. Otherwise, the high power
output can damage the LAN port on NVR.
