PoE Power Limiting
If you have a mixture of cameras with different power requirements, you can configure the maximum amount
of power supplied to individual PoE ports. This allows you to divert power to a single port that draws more
power, such as a port connected to an IR PTZ camera. You can allocate up to 60W on select ports and up to
30W on all other ports on the 24-port switch. You can allocate up to 30W on any port on the 8-port switch.
You can adjust the power allocated to each port up to these maximums, as long as the total power allocated
to all ports does not exceed the total power that the switch can supply. The total power available on the 8-
port switch is 124W and on the 24-port port it is 382W.
