2. Power jack – this DC connector is where the external power adapter attaches to
the IP CAM. The IP CAM requires a power level of 5 VDC/1.0A. Do not use any

3. Ethernet jack – this standard RJ-45 jack is for making a wired Ethernet connection.
When the Ethernet link is ok, the blue Ethernet indication LED on the front side will
be steadily on (when no activity is present) or blinking (when data packets are

4. Reset button – pressing this button resets the IP CAM to the default factory
settings. The button is slightly recessed, so you will need a small object, such as a
pen tip or toothpick, to press and hold the reset button for at least 4 seconds to
activate the reset function. Please refer to section 3.18 for more details.
5. Antenna jack (for IP Cam ( w ) only) – this RP-SMA screw jack is where the wireless
antenna attaches to the camera. The antenna must be properly attached for
802.11b/g wireless connectivity. However, if using only a wired connection the
antenna can be left unattached.
