server room. Consider the temperature tolerance and IP protection of the device (-30°C to
+60°C; IP40).

cannot work with PoE power supply. However, it can provide PoE power to the
connected camera.
b. Use the LAN port on the device to connect the device to your network.

If your camera is far from the device on the network, and it is not connected to the

microSD card inserted inside the device. For more information see section 5.1.

plug more Carmen NNC (eg. USB dongle) into the device.

a. The IP address of the device is displayed on the product sticker at the bottom of the
device. This is always in the format 169.254.aaa.bbb.. However, if a DHCP server is
available on the network, the device will also get an IP address from the DHCP server.
You can access the device from both IP addresses.

c. You can access the web interface of the device with the admin/admin
username/passwordpair. It is strongly recommended tochange the default password.
