Connecting Power and Resetting on OpenEye Cameras

Power Connection

For an adequate power connection, use a 12vDC adaptor. Alternatively, you can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Ensure that the camera’s power cable is correctly and firmly connected.

NOTE: OpenEye recommends against using more than one power source at a time. Do not use a PoE power source when providing the camera with 12vDC power.

If using Power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is in use in the network.

Resetting the Camera

Resetting the camera will restore factory defaults:

  1. Disconnect power for 30 seconds.
  2. Reconnect power and wait 30 seconds.
  3. Press the reset button for 20 seconds.

NOTE: The power connection and reset information above is for OpenEye IP cameras. For power and reset information for cloud cameras, see the hardware manual for the respective cloud camera: OE-CC52B5  | OE-CC51D5  | OE-CC53B8  | OE-CC51D8
