Using network switches that support the 802.3bt standard, which provides up to 90 watts of power per port, is crucial for security camera system design for several reasons. First, modern security cameras often require more power due to advanced features like higher resolution, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, integrated analytics, and infrared illumination. The 802.3bt standard ensures these devices receive adequate power.

Additionally, 802.3bt-enabled switches support more efficient power distribution and can simultaneously power multiple high-demand devices, which is essential in large-scale security deployments. This not only reduces infrastructure complexity but also lowers operational costs. Overall, 802.3bt enhances system reliability, scalability, and ease of maintenance, making it a vital component in designing robust and future-proof security camera solutions.

The AMG350 series is available in both PoE models and non-PoE models meeting the IEEE802.3at 30W or IEEE802.3bt 60/90W standards. Suitable for powering the latest high-powered PoE devices over in harsh industrial applications and are compatible with any manufacturers’ IEEE802.3at/af or bt-compliant PoE powered devices.

AMG350-4GAT-1G-P75-PD

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and USA introduces the AMG350-4GAT-1G-P75-PD model 5-port industrially hardened unmanaged Ethernet switch that can be supplied IEEE802.3bt PoE and deliver IEEE802.3 af/at PoE to four edge powered devices (PD). The AMG350 is unique in that it requires no external power supply and is powered by PoE. This model is compatible with any manufacturer’s IEEE802.3at or bt-compliant PoE source device (PSE) and can function as a multi-port repeater for situations when distances above 100M (328ft) are required.

The AMG 350 models are manufactured in a rugged, thermally efficient enclosure designed to be DIN-Rail or wall mounted. The line is fully hardened and can operate outdoors (using a suitable IP rated housing) and in extreme temperatures (-40 to +75°C). This AMG350 model is distinctive, taking in IEEE802.3bt power, and can offer 15 or 30-watt power-to-edge PoE devices such as IP cameras, access control, and wireless access points. The AMG350 can be powered by an IEEE802.2bt switch such as the AMG 570 line of hardened switches or the new AMG150 line of PoE power injectors. This allows greater flexibility on installations when AC power is not readily available at the point where the AMG350 is being used. The AMG350 Series unmanaged Ethernet Switches are designed in the USA and UK and manufactured in an ISO9001-certified UK facility, are fully TAA and NDAA compliant, and unlike similar products from other Asian countries, can be used in all US Government installations.

AMG350 Application Diagram

Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director adds “The AMG350 unmanaged switch sets the quality standard. Our engineering team looked at what was currently available, identified weaknesses, and engineered our product line to overcome those weaknesses. There are dozens of versions of this switch. None are equal in terms of being industrially hardened and made in an ISO9001 certified facility. We believe in the quality and stand behind them with lifetime support. This switch opens dozens of applications that can now utilize PoE as the power source. Plus having a switch made in the UK gives your network an added layer of security.”
