Add Network Camera Through PoE
The PoE interfaces enable the device to transfer electrical power and data to connected PoE
cameras. And the PoE interface supports the Plug-and-Play function. Connectable PoE camera
number varies with device models. If you disable a PoE interface, you can also use it to connect to
an online network camera.

The PoE ports are enabled with the short distance mode by default.
●
The bandwidth of IP camera connected to the PoE via long network cable (100 to 300 meters)
cannot exceed 6 Mbps.
●
The allowed max. long network cable may be less than 300 meters depending on different IP
camera models and cable materials.
●
When the transmission distance reaches 100 to 250 meters, you must use the CAT5e or CAT6
