As the widely use of IP camera , POE as a high effective power transmitting method have simplifies the installation of IP camera and reduce the cost for install and maintain at the same time. With this advantage, POE IP camera has attracted much attention.
POE is shorted from Power over Ethernet. With this new hi-tech, it can make sure the security of current cable structure and at the same time promise the normal operation of Internet. It keeps the compatibility of current Ethernet system with customers. POE camera makes use of this hi-tech to web camera to let the camera own POE functions. By doing so, the advantages of this camera are obvious.
First, POE only needs to install and support one cable. It is simple and can save much space. In addition, you can move it as you like. So it has brought great convenience for you to install or remove. Moreover, it is no need to deal the problem of power adapter, so it is more beautiful after installed.
Second, it can help you save cost. Many types of electric equipment such as security system need to install to the place where it is hard to deploy alternating current. POE camera is no need to expensive power supply and to spend much time on its installation. Therefore, it can help to save money and at the same time save more time.
Another convenience it can bring to us comes from SNMP. Just as data transmission, POE can monitor and control the camera through simple network management protocol, SNMP in short. It can provide ability of system management via power such as making use of SNMP which can provide many functions such as power off in night and remote reboot.
Whats more, the power source equipment of POE only provides power for the needed equipment. By doing so, the Ethernet would exit voltage and the risk of electric leakage is eliminated.
At last, by using POE IP camera, you only need one signal uninterrupted power supply to support all related equips when there is an interruption of power supply. In addition, customers can use other types best IP camera and POE camera. It can coexist on the current Ethernet cable.
Certainly, what we need to pay attention is that the largest voltage POE support is 15.4W which is normally enough to general IP camera. While as to cameras that can realize motion detection, it needs larger voltage. So youd better check the voltage before you use other cameras and POE at the same time.
All in all, the technology of POE can reduce the cost and simplifies the installation. It would be applied widely.
