The Tailgating cameras require 12 watts of power each to function correctly. They can be powered by dedicated power supplies, or using Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Instructions:

  1. Power over Ethernet (PoE)
    • Verify your switch is PoE capable
    • Check the cameras are plugged in to the switch's PoE ports
    • Check the switch PoE meets the camera's power requirements, 12 watts per camera. With two cameras, your PoE switch will need a capacity of at least 24 watts, with no other PoE devices connected
    • Try using a dedicated power supply instead of PoE
  2. Dedicated power supply
    • Check the physical power connections. The power supply is properly plugged in to an outlet, or connected to mains
    • Check the power supply meets the camera's power requirements. 12 volts, 1 amp
