2.5.4 PoE Variables
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
peripheral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the
browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system
design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE802.3af standard)
Class Max. power consumption Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
1 0.44W–3.84W
Low power mode (available soon); no peripheral
devices
2 3.84W–6.49W (factory default) Normal mode; max. 1W for peripheral devices
3 6.49W–12.95W
Full power mode; max. 4W for peripheral devices
(e.g. MX-GPS-Box on MxBus)
The MOBOTIX factory default is PoE class 2. This default setting is usually fine, and noth-
ing needs to be changed. However, the PoE power class must be changed in the browser
if the higher power class 3 is required for your application:
1. Select Admin Menu >
Network Setup> Ethernet
Interface (for experts).
2. Click on Change under
Power Supply.
3.
A Power Wizard will appear
to guide you through the
PoE configuration steps.
4. Next, restart the camera:
Disconnect the camera
from the power supply. Then
reconnect it, for example,
by disconnecting and then
reconnecting the Ethernet
cable at the PoE switch.
MOBOTIX factory
default is class 2
