The Vivotek AM-523 Adapter is designed for seamless connectivity with surveillance systems, offering PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities, robust build quality, and compatibility with a wide range of Vivotek cameras.
To install the Vivotek AM-523 Adapter, connect it to your network using an Ethernet cable, ensuring the PoE power source is active. Then, connect the adapter to your Vivotek camera via the appropriate port, and confirm functionality through the camera's interface.
First, ensure that the Ethernet cable is properly connected and that the PoE source is supplying power. Check for any visible damage to the cable or adapter. If the problem persists, test with a different cable or PoE source to isolate the issue.
Typically, the Vivotek AM-523 Adapter does not have a reset function as it is a passive device. Troubleshooting should focus on network settings and power supply if issues arise.
Regularly inspect the adapter and cables for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the connections are secure and free from dust or debris. Consider periodic testing of the power output to confirm consistent performance.
The Vivotek AM-523 Adapter is typically designed for indoor use. If outdoor use is necessary, ensure it is housed in a weatherproof enclosure to protect it from environmental elements.
The Vivotek AM-523 Adapter is compatible with most Vivotek cameras that support PoE. Always check the camera's specifications for compatibility with PoE adapters.
Check all physical connections and ensure the network switch or router is functioning properly. Verify that the adapter is receiving power and that network settings are correctly configured. Consult the network administrator if issues persist.
The maximum cable length for PoE with the Vivotek AM-523 Adapter is typically 100 meters (328 feet) using a standard Cat5e or better Ethernet cable.
The Vivotek AM-523 Adapter is designed for standard PoE power requirements. For high-power devices, a PoE+ or higher-rated adapter may be necessary. Check device requirements before connecting.
