This whitepaper explains how Axis defines and measures power consumption in cameras using two key scenarios: typical and maximum. Typical power reflects normal operating conditions with default configurations such as a single video stream, analytics enabled, and no IR or heating. Maximum power represents worst-case scenarios, including full load on motors, multiple streams, active IR illumination, and extreme environmental conditions. The document also highlights the importance of factoring in cable losses and PoE standards when designing systems. Additionally, built-in power meters allow real-time monitoring and optimization, helping integrators accurately plan power budgets and ensure reliable system performance.
