FAQ

What is a PoE security system?

PoE stands for power over Ethernet. PoE is a system used for carrying electric power and data over copper Ethernet cabling—meaning just one cable is needed per camera.

What is the difference between CCTV and PoE?

CCTV uses coax and a power cable while an IP camera uses standard network (Cat 5e or Cat 6) cabling. By using a PoE switch or injector, an IP camera can be powered and transmit video over a single cable, thereby reducing the cabling cost compared to CCTV.

Is PoE good for security cameras?

Better Scalability: PoE cameras offer better scalability compared to traditional power-wired cameras. They are quicker to install and easier to scale up as needed. Adding additional security cameras is as simple as adding extra network connections, without the need for complex wiring.

What is PoE NVR?

What Is a PoE NVR? NVR represents for network video recorder which provides you with centralized video controls to easily view, manage, and store your surveillance footage in one convenient location. A PoE NVR is a security video recorder with built-in PoE switch designed to use with PoE-based IP cameras.

How far can a PoE camera be from the NVR?

Direct runs from an NVR's POE port to a camera can go up to 300 feet without any issues.

Can this PoE NVR work with a PoE switch?

Yes, please take 2 easy steps as below. Step 1,use an ethernet cable connecte to PoE NVR, then plug the other end to the PoE switch. Step 2,use another ethenet cable connect to the PoE switch, and plug the other end to the router.
