The core part of an enterprise security surveillance system is none other than video surveillance equipment, which provides enterprises with comprehensive monitoring of internal activities and environments. Such a system not only protects the interests of employees and consumers, but also supports the company's overall security strategy.
When deciding to introduce a video surveillance solution, a key consideration is: What infrastructure should we choose to support the system? Ensuring surveillance systems are properly maintained is also critical to keeping your business safe. Currently, it has become a widely adopted and recommended practice to use Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches to provide power to network cameras.
PoE Switch (or Power over Ethernet switch) is a very important part of the modern networking which not only provides data but also power for the IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.The role of PoE Switch in modern networking cannot be overestimated.They eliminate the need for individual power cords, offering a centralized power source that enhances reliability and simplifies maintenance.
This integration of power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable streamlines installations, reduces clutter, and ensures consistent performance across connected devices.

Traditional wiring which includes various types of cable, wires and power adapters not only makes things more complex but there is a high probability of ending up with a messy setup. The availability of power outlets can also restrict the positioning of surveillance equipment.
The deployment of electricity wiring to sites create hazards like fire and power overload, which need electricians with expertise in safety management to be present during the whole process.
IP camera installation at areas with no people such as parking lots and warehouses clearly involves large cost which includes workforce, system design.
Maintenance and service of remote surveillance networks is costly in terms of time and money. When IP cameras get dropped or unresponsive can cause video loss, which in return constitute real threats to the security of business.
PoE Switches are engineered with a variety of features such as Extend Mode, Priority Mode, and Isolation Mode, which not only meet basic networking requirements but also add value by creating a versatile and reliable surveillance network.
Monitot all cameras and NVRs via PoE Switch, so you can have a simpler setup and maintenance.
Factors like Long-distance Transfer, Port Prioritization, and Upgraded Port Isolation are guaranteed by this the performance of sensible applications and security.
Detects and reboots any dropped or unresponsive PoE-powered devices, maintaining the integrity of the surveillance system.
One single cable fulfils the two tasks of data transmission and electricity transmittal, so it eliminates the necessity of extra power adapters.
The freedom from fixed power outlets allows for more installation options and adaptability in complex environments.
Soutaches and monitors flow of power to high-priority or high-load ports to prevent a load overload.
● Number of Ports: Select a switch with an adequate number of ports to connect all your devices on your LAN, considering future expansion needs.
● Port Speed: Determine the necessary port speed based on user requirements and device bandwidth. While 100M bandwidth is often sufficient, gigabit and multi-gigabit options provide higher scalability for future-proofing your network.
● PoE Budget: Each IP camera has a specific power budget required for operation. Ensure the switch's per-port budget meets the needs of your cameras.
● PoE, PoE+ or PoE++: PoE (802.3af) offers 15.4W per Ethernet port, while PoE+ (802.3at) nearly doubles this power to 30W.
By integrating these recommendations into your monitoring strategy, you can position your organization at the forefront of modern security solutions while reaping the full benefits of a PoE-enabled IP camera system.
GZCOM has designed a variety of PoE Switches to meet the requirements of most IPCs. Many robust features provide value well.
