Adding POE to your network is straightforward, and there are two routes you can
choose:
A
POE switch
is a network switch that has Power over Ethernet injection
built-in. Simply connect other network devices to the switch as normal, and the
switch will detect whether they are POE-compatible and enable power automatically.
POE switches are available to suit all applications, from low-cost unmanaged edge
switcheswith a few ports, up to complex multi-port rack-mounted units with
sophisticated management.
A
midspan
(or
POE injector
)
is used to add POE capability to regular non-POE
network links. Midspans can be used to upgrade existing LAN installations to POE,
and provide a versatile solution where fewer POE ports are required. Upgrading
each network connection to POE is as simple as patching it through the midspan, and
as with POE switches, power injection is controlled and automatic.
Midspans are available as multi-port rack-mounted units or low-cost single-port
For Vzense DCAM800 camera, the POE Switch or POE injector needs to support
IEEE 802.3at-2009 standard also known as PoE+, which can provide up to 25.5W,
otherwise the camera may not work well at long range mode.
We can provide optional PoE switch or PoE injector to our customers, please try to
contact the sales for the quotation and more information.
