6AE830VNI Setup

[ParisL]

I just picked up the Dahua 6AE830VNI, and unlike every other camera I've ever had, it has quite a bit more to it...

I'm looking in the user manual and see things like Baud rate, Dial Switch, etc. Does this apply to the PoE version? The manual does seem to be generic for multiple versions of the camera.

Do I have to set all of that stuff up even if I use Hi-PoE? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing is connected or set up.

I'm just trying to get them powered on at this point on my workbench. I don't even know how to power them on. I've set up several PoE cameras, and normally I have no issues setting them up (with the exception of when I had to fine-tune my LPR).

This one is Hi-PoE, so it might be a bit different. That being said, if I use Hi-PoE, other than needing a Hi-PoE Injector (e.g.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LKN65SY

), do I need anything else? Or would the ethernet cable with Hi-PoE be the only thing that I would need to connect?

Thanks.

Sure thing, give me a sec I'll try and get a picture for ya. Thanks!

It does say Hi-PoE supported on all of the websites I've seen, as well as the Dahua Wiki.

But I will go grab the pictures now and report back momentarily.

@flynreelow, see pics below.
EDIT: Also, on the Dahua box, it says "Hi-PoE". Added this picture.





Thanks!

"Hi-POE" is a simplified name for the the REAL spec which is 802.3bt.

I'd try this POE injector: TP-Link TL-PoE170S 802.3at/af/bt Gigabit PoE Injector Non-PoE to PoE Adapter Supplies up to 60W (PoE++) Plug & Play Desktop/Wall-Mount Distance Up to 328 ft. UL Certified, Black

The reference to a baud rate setting is for the RS-485 serial which wyou ill likely not need to use or be concerned about

This was a top of the line PTZ just a few years ago but compaired to todays PTZ's this is EOL.

It does have a great image with a good zoom, although you may not be able to view this cam with a newer browser and may need to use IE as the FW updates has been long been abandoned.

This was my favorite cam until the network board died on it and lost connection. Dahua was unable to save it when I sent it for RMA.

This cam can run on 24v AC /3A or Hi PoE and normally comes with the PSU.
As TonyR said above the settings you are asking about you will not use.
