Canon VB-R13VE Handbuch

Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described below. Please be sure to read the user manual 

for the dedicated power supply before use.

 Note

•  Power supply should conform to all local codes.
•  The power supply should also comply with IEC/UL60950-1 (SELV/LPS) standards.



 PoE+/PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable connected to a PoE+/PoE HUB that conforms to the 

IEEE802.3at Type 2 (PoE+)/Type 1 (PoE) standard.

 Important 

•  Check with your dealer for more information about PoE+/PoE HUB and Midspan technology. 

Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE+/PoE HUB, supplies power to the camera via a 
LAN cable.

•  Some PoE+/PoE HUBs allow the limitation of currents for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If 

using this type of PoE+/PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.

•  Some PoE+/PoE HUBs have limits for the total current consumption for the ports which can interfere with performance 

when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE+/PoE HUB.

•  When the camera is connected to both a PoE+/PoE HUB and an external power supply (12 V DC or 24 V AC), power will 

be supplied in the following order of precedence. 
External power supply (24 V AC) > PoE+/PoE HUB > External power supply (12 V DC) 
However, when connecting power from both, certain combinations could cause problems such as unstable network 
connections. If a problem arises, either set the PoE+/PoE HUB power supply to “disabled” or use the optional AC adapter 
as the external power supply.



 External Power Supply

12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used. Use the included interface cable to connect to the camera power 

connection terminal.

12 V DC can be connected in a non-polar configuration.

 Important 

•  The power supply should be within the following voltage range.
•  24 V AC:  Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 24 V AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz ±0.5 Hz or less)  

Current supply capacity of at least 2.0 A per camera

•  12 V DC:  Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 12 V DC  

Current supply capacity of at least 1.5 A per camera

•  When using a 12 V DC battery power supply, be sure to connect resistors of at least 0.5 – 1.0 

Ω

/20 W in series to the 

power line.

•  For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.
