• Full Power Save
This power mode should be used if the lowest power consumption is
desired and incoming Ethernet communications are not required.
FIGURE 7-6. Ethernet Power Savings Settings
The specific behavior of the camera’s Ethernet Power save is also influenced
by the Power Mode of the camera. TABLE 7-2 will help to outline the
Ethernet Power saving features versus various Power Modes of the camera.
TABLE 7-2. Ethernet Power Save Modes
Camera Power
Mode Ethernet
Power Save Mode Operating Characteristics
Always On
• Camera is always on
• Highest Power Consumption
• Ethernet is on and always available for incoming communications.
Moderate Power
Save Mode
• Not recommended
Fully On
Full Power Save
Mode
• Camera is always on.
• Average power consumption is reduced by 50mA @12VDC
• The Ethernet is normally turned off and is only enabled when
outgoing communications are required (Email or FTP).
• User needs to push the Setup button to temporarily enable the
Ethernet port for Web page access.
Always On
• The camera is effectively off in a low powered state.
• Typical Power consumption is 80mA @12VDC
• Ethernet is on and always available for incoming communications.
• The camera will temporarily wake up to the fully on power mode
when traffic occurs on the network. In situations where there is
constant network traffic then the camera may effectively be in the
fully On Power mode.
Partially On
Moderate Power
Save Mode
• The camera is effectively off in a low powered state.
• Typical Power consumption is 80mA @12VDC
• Ethernet is always off.
• Disconnecting and connecting the camera to another Ethernet
device will momentarily wake up the camera to allow it to process
incoming communications. The camera will go into the low
powered mode again if no communications occur.
