There are 2 main types of PoE device:

• Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)

  — this PoE system component provides electrical power over a CAT 6 Ethernet cable to a Powered Device (PD).

• Powered Device (PD)

  — this PoE system component is powered by the electrical power provided by the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

The CAM400 is a Class 2 PD with a 48 V nominal supply voltage, which consumes 7 W maximum (with LEDs ON). Before connecting the CAM400, ensure that your Power PSE’s maximum power output will not be surpassed. For further information on your PSE’s maximum power output, refer to the instructions that accompany the device.
