Figure 24: PoE power budget information on IP cameras (4-channel PoE recorder shown)
1. Select the PoE type required for each camera.
2. Dynamic tracking of the current PoE power consumption (blue), unallocated PoE power (white), and
remaining allocated PoE power budget (green) shown.
The IP cameras will specify which type of PoE they require. You can set up each
camera individually for no PoE, PoE-af, PoE-at, or 12.5 W for 4- and 16-channel
recorders and 15 W for 8-channel recorders. A PoE port can support up to 30 W
maximum.
The recorder has up to 16 PoE ports, depending on the model. The total PoE power
budget for the 4-channel recorder is 50 W, for the 8- channel recorder it is 120W and
for the 16-channel recorder it is 200 W.
The PoE-af port can support between 0 and 15.4 W and the PoE-at port can support
between 0 and 30 W. See Table 11 below for a description of the maximum number of
IP cameras that can be connected depending on the PoE type used.
