Hi-power PoE for surveillance and security
The switch supports both PoE and non-PoE equipment. Model GS716TPP supports a
hi-power PoE+ budget, which works well for a surveillance and security configuration.
The following figure shows an example of how you can connect hi-power PoE+
pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera (see device 7) together with a PoE+ WiFi access point (see
device 4) and a non-PoE storage system such as a ReadyNAS (see device 8) to the switch.
You must connect one LAN port on the switch to a LAN port on a router (see device 2
in the following figure) that is connected to the Internet (see 3).
If you use connect a WiFi access point to the switch, you can use a smartphone (see
device 5) or laptop (see device 6) to connect to the WiFi network and use NETGEAR
Insight to discover and manage the switch.
