Cam210IP Installation

[Trawlerboat]

I am investigating installing the 210IP Camera into our current system. The system has a HS Network Switch with available RJ45 ports. MFD's are es127 and an eSeries.

Cable Run is about 30 ft.
1. Can I run shielded RJ45 male to Male cable from the HS Network Switch to the Camera?
2. Should I run 16 gauge Red/Black Power Cable?
3. Will the pigtail on the camera connect both the RJ45 and the Power Cable?
4. Should I have a separate power switch for the camera?

Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank You

Barry

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Barry,

Q1. Can I run shielded RJ45 male to Male cable from the HS Network Switch to the Camera?
A1. Yes

Q2. Should I run 16 gauge Red/Black Power Cable?
A2. The gauge of cable installed is dependent upon the round trip distance involved. Please click here to view a web page addressing this subject.

Q3. Will the pigtail on the camera connect both the RJ45 and the Power Cable?
A3. Yes. Alternatively, a POE Injector may be installed between the camera and the Network Switch, to instead power the camera via the POE.

Q4. Should I have a separate power switch for the camera?
A4. All products should be powered via a switched power circuit.
