Frequently asked questions
What is PoE for IP cameras?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows IP cameras to receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable (IEEE 802.3af/at). PoE cameras are simpler to install — one cable for power and video. Use a PoE switch or PoE NVR for multi-camera setups.
What PoE standard do IP cameras use?
Most IP cameras use IEEE 802.3af (15.4W max, 12.95W usable) or 802.3at/PoE+ (30W max, 25.5W usable). PTZ cameras and cameras with heaters may require 802.3at. Check your camera's power specification before buying a PoE switch.
