	~~[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet PoE] (IEEE 802.3af) technology is~~ used to provide power to the Elphel cameras, using the same cable as that used for network connection.		48V DC power supplies are used to provide power to the Elphel cameras, using the same cable as that used for network connection.

	The Elphel camera has a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port, and can be connected to a local network. This port is also used to provide power to the camera.
