PoE for PTZ cameras: can I use a switch or do I need an injector?

Matt Golueke August 22, 2014 14:47 PM

CNGE2FE4SMSPOEHOPower over Ethernet (PoE) is the standard method for powering IP cameras of all shapes and sizes. Not too long ago we were limited to about 12 watts per network switch port.  Today we are able to provide multiple 60 watt per ports on a managed, multi-cast capable network switch. There are a few "gotchas" to watch out for when specifying a PoE network switch, so be sure to consult your trusted advisor. For example, you must be sure to specify a proper power supply to enable the full capability of the PoE ports.

There is now a network switch available that can power nearly every PoE capable IP PTZ camera on the market and eliminates the need for midspan PoE injectors. Take a look at this short video as Guy Walker describes the technical capabilities now available for leveraging high PoE directly out of the managed, multicast capable network switch.
