Adding remote IP devices to an existing network that is not capable of powering devices with PoE from the existing network switch(es) can make installations difficult. Not only does a Cat5e/6 cable have to be pulled to the device, such as an outdoor P/T/Z IP camera, but some form of electrical power must be connected with a separate cable to the device.
By using the Digital Watchdog MEGApix Flex® DWC-PVX16Wx a single installed camera device can provide four separate full 30 fps IP video streams. This innovative multi-sensor device provides four separate cameras, all of which can be adjusted for view. Several different lenses (2.8mm, 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm) can be selected for each individual camera.
As long as there are security systems, there will be a need for power. And as long there is a need for solutions that are smarter, faster, and simpler than their predecessors, there will be innovation. These two truisms combined have led us to the latest Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard: the IEEE 802.3bt High Power PoE.
VITEK Web Smart L2 Managed PoE Switches are designed to deliver in dedicated security environments. These easy-to-deploy Web Smart switches provide high performance, cost-effective, L2 networking solutions for both enterprise and small to mid-sized networks, and are available with 16 or 24 PoE Channels.
While all these capabilities have increased overall business efficiency and effectiveness, there is no doubt that the biggest impact has been on small to medium offices and businesses. In the past, SMBs did not have the resources needed to perform the demanding processing and complex operations that could be done by larger organizations. Nor could small businesses locate, connect with, and serve a widely dispersed set of customers in real time.
Safeguard AC power, fire panels, access control systems, network devices, burglar alarms, and video surveillance systems, including those that use PoE technology to provide power and network connectivity over a single Ethernet cable with Ditek Surge Protection.
By eliminating high-voltage installation cost, integrators can better meet the needs of their clients. PoE solutions provide power to myriad edge security devices and must ensure operations even when power goes down. Today’s more advanced PoE solutions make designing and powering an access control system a simple plug-and-play experience. Learn how to simplify powering an access control system in this article.
