INSTALLATION / OPERATION

RCP-SIDED On the RCP side please connect the RCP bridge via the 8-pin Hirose connector with the RCP. Supply the RCP bridge and the RCP via the DC socket of the RCP bridge module with a 12V battery or a stabilized 12V power supply from a reputable manufacturer (min. 1A). Pay attention to the correct polarity (Ring = - / Tip = +) and a suitable fuse. The RJ-45 jack serves as a connection interface between the two RCP bridge modules. CAMERA-SIDED On the Camera side please connect the RCP bridge via the 8-pin Hirose connector with the camera. The DC socket of the RCP bridge can be used as voltage output. Here the same voltage is present, which is also present at the Hirose connector of the camera. Check the available power using the data sheet of the used camera and subtract 300mA for power requirements of the RCP bridge module itself. The RJ-45 jack serves as a connection interface between the two RCP bridge modules.

CONNECTING the two sides without additional components Connect the two RCP bridge modules via the RJ-45 jacks with a network cable (at least Cat. 5). Use only well-established and reputable cable manufacturers. CONNECTION OF BOTH SIDES WITH ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS The RCP bridge modules can communicate with each other via additional network components from other manufacturers, but are not primarily designed for it. If you want to connect the RCP bridge modules via one or more switches, or even a WiFi bridge, please use exclusively established products from leading manufacturers. It might be necessary to configure the RCP bridge modules via software to get a connection through foreign additional products. Please ask the manufacturer about configuration options for both RCP bridge modules. WARRANTY Each product goes through many tests during manufacture. We place special emphasis on high quality.
