Introduction

This section describes all types of input and output signals available on iam cameras, including their characteristics and when necessary including connection examples. Location and pinouts of the connectors carrying the signals is documented in Section “Dimensions” and Section “Connector and cable description”

Power supply

DC power input

iam is designed for a power supply input range of 24 V ±10%. The power consumption depends on the utilisation of the main system parts: Image sensor, FPGA, ARM cores. The power consumption is typically less than 13 W. A suitable power supply for iam is available from NET.

For designing a custom power supply see information about the power input connector in Connector and cable description.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Be aware in case of using a prototype camera:

If the camera serial number has an X or Z in the 9th digit (e.g. 14A2GEBAX2042013) Power over Ethernet is not supported even though the camera will be detected as a PoE device by a PoE injector!
See also Known Issues - Prototype Cameras .

iam can be also powered using the Power over Ethernet option. The cameras are compatible with the Power over Ethernet standard, versions IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. They should be used with PoE switches (“endspans”) or power injectors (“midspans”) complying with the IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at specifications.

The iam models are classified in the power level class 0 or class 3. The power consumption with PoE is slightly higher than consumption with a “regular” power supply. When connecting multiple iam cameras to a single PoE switch, verify how much total power the switch can provide and how it handles cases when the limit is exceeded.

Both PoE modes (A and B) are supported by the camera.

Beware of using PoE cameras with 100Mbit Ethernet cables, where the “spare” wire pairs might be omitted. With such cable, the power wouldn't be delivered when using Mode B compatible power sourcing equipment.
