Step 1: Removing the bottom cover

Note: Keep this cover within reach. When you connect your Ethernet cable to the Stick Up Cam, you will need to thread the cable through the hole in the cover.


Step 2: Choosing your location

Stick Up Cam Elite is designed to be installed just about anywhere, indoors or out. It can sit on its own stand, or mount to a wall or ceiling.

Choose a spot where it can provide your desired field of view and is within reach of an Ethernet port with PoE. Check out other recommendations for best positioning.


Step 3: Powering your Stick Up Cam

You must power your Stick Up Cam with an Ethernet port that supplies Power over Ethernet. It will not work with only an Ethernet connection. Using PoE requires a router or switch that supplies PoE or the dedicated PoE adapter that comes in the box with Stick Up Cam Elite. Follow these steps to power Stick Up Cam with PoE:

  1. Feed an Ethernet cable through the hole in the bottom cover.
  2. Plug it into the Ethernet port in the Stick Up Cam.
  3. Plug the other end of the cable into an Ethernet port that supplies Power over Ethernet.
