AXIS P1355-E/P1357-E Installation Guide
Connect the cables
1. Optionally insert an SD memory card (not included) into the SDHC (Secure Digital High
Capacity) card slot. A standard or high capacity SD card (microSD) is required to store images
and video locally in the camera.
2. Optionally connect external input/output devices. See page 15 for information on the terminal
connector pins. Prepare the cables with cable glands, see Route the network cable through the
cable hole, on page 9, and route the cables through the cable holes into the bottom cover and
to the camera.
3. Connect the camera to the network using a shielded network cable. Connect the network cable
to the network connector on the bottom. The network cable and the I/O cable between the
bottom cover and the camera are already connected at delivery
* For network and power connection with at least PoE 802.3af Class 3, 15.4W at the PoE
midspan/switch
4. Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 18 for
further details. Note that the Status LED can be configured to be unlit during normal operation.
Cold Startup Delay Switch
The housing used in this Axis product features Arctic Temperature Control, which is enabled by
setting the Cold Startup Delay switch to I (ON). When enabled, this function controls when the
camera restarts after a power cut, when temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F); the camera is first
heated to approximately 0 °C (32 °F) before it initializes. This prevents damage to camera models
that include moving parts.
