POE Switches in Modern Network

Easy to install and maintain video surveillance systems

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows electrical power to be transmitted over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power cables. It is widely used in modern video networks to power and control video devices over a network, such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones. This makes a only one cable needs to be run to each device. There are two main standards for PoE: 802.3af and 802.3at, which provide different levels of power.

What are POE Switches?

PoE switches are network switches that have the capability to provide power to devices over Ethernet cables.

The PoE switches eliminate the need for an additional power source between the main power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices (PDs) as the integrated devices in the Ethernet network are powered by the PoE-powered source. These switches comply with the IEEE802.3af standard. They support a power consumption of 15.4W per PoE port. The PD devices, which have an operating voltage between 37V to 57V, can be connected to these switches. Know more information about POE Switches here.

What are POE NVR?

PoE NVR is a network video recorder that uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) transmission protocols to manage and store video or image data.

It allows for centralized control and uses PoE switches to distribute electronic data and power over an Ethernet cable to multiple devices. The switches send video data to a specific IP address controlled by the PoE NVR.
