Installation

What you Need

GigE Network Adapter

Genie Nano 10G connects to a dedicated Gigabit Network Adapter (NIC) on a host computer. If the computer already has a NIC connected to a corporate or external network, the computer will require a second adapter not connected to the network. Follow instructions from the NIC supplier to install your adapter. See GigE Network Adapter Installation for configuration.

Cables

  • CAT6 or better Ethernet cable(s). The cable should not be more than 100 meters (328 feet) long.

  • GPIO cable, if powered through I/O. See Optional Cable Accessories.

Ethernet Switch (Optional)

The camera may be connected to the NIC directly or indirectly through an Ethernet switch. A PoE switch may be used to power the camera. The switch must be connected to the dedicated NIC.

Power Supply or Power Injector

The camera can be powered using either a power supply through its I/O interface, or a PoE switch (or Ethernet power injector). Power supply must meet the requirements defined in section Input Signals Electrical Specifications.

CAUTION

Connect power via the I/O or PoE, not both. Although the has protection, differences in ground levels may cause operation issues or electrical faults, resulting in camera faults or failure.

See Network Hardware Considerations for additional information.

Installation Steps

Installation requires the following steps:

  1. Install a NIC (network adapter) that is not connected to a corporate or external network on the host computer.
