PoE Switches: Simplifying Power and Connectivity
Streamline your IP camera installation by delivering both data and electrical power through a single, efficient ethernet cable.
The Foundation of Your System's Performance
A network switch is the core component that directs traffic for your IP CCTV system. By choosing a Power over Ethernet (PoE) model, you create a more efficient, cost-effective, and flexible infrastructure for your security cameras. This technology is key to a clean and professional installation.
Choosing the right model ensures uninterrupted video streaming, gives you freedom in camera placement, and guarantees long-term reliability for your entire system.
Expert Tip: For outdoor or industrial environments, always select PoE switches with built-in surge protection to safeguard your investment against electrical damage.

PoE switches significantly reduce cabling complexity by delivering both power and data through a single ethernet cable. This lowers installation costs, reduces potential points of failure, and simplifies overall system maintenance.
Standard PoE (like IEEE 802.3af/at) supports cable runs of up to 100 meters (328 feet) without any signal or power degradation, providing ample flexibility for most camera placements.
The vast majority of modern IP cameras are designed to support standard PoE. However, it is always best practice to confirm compatibility and power requirements (e.g., PoE, PoE+) before finalizing your installation plan.
