Never set up an CCTV system so am a little confused by the instructions/capabilities. Hope someone can help
My gear:
DS7604 NVR
DS-2cd2312-I-4mm EXIR camera
The camera is PoE. I "thought" that meant it would receive power over ethernet (similar to USB) but the cable coming out of the camera is split with an ethernet connector and and a power connector. Did I misunderstand? If so, should the camera have come with a power supply?
The instructions only talk about hooking the camera up to a PC. I think I read somewhere that the NVR would automatically recognize the camera. Is it that simple?
thanks
