Security Applications have become an unfortunate necessity in environments both Public and Private. With advances in IP Network based Security Cameras and Digital Video Recording technologies and the need for both Public and Private protection greater than ever, Security Systems purchases have expanded exponentially each year. PoE Technology helps improve the Security Network's performance and keep costs in check by allowing IP Camera installations in locations where no AC power outlets exist.

The Diagram below shows the connectivity of the necessary components.

Power over Ethernet technology allows the Security Design team to position the IP Security Cameras wherever needed without having to worry about AC power availability. Required Camera locations will often be high on walls or ceilings, in hallways or open conference rooms, at entry doors and many other locations without ready AC power outlets. To assure 100% uptime of the Security Camera Network, the Midspan PoE units can be mated with UPS systems in the wiring closets or IDFs. Secure, reliable centralized power for the Camera Network can be provided at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. LAN Power's unique Voltage Adapter family even allows PoE technology to be used with IP Security Cameras not ready for 48v but instead needing 5v, 12v or 24v to operate. LAN Power Midspans work with all existing Structured Cabling Systems Category 5 and above. They also are compatible with any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Switches whether Workgroup (Fixed Ports) or Concentrator (Removable Blades). Complete Security Camera Network investment protection is provided by LAN Power PoE Midspans.

Benefits for IP Security Camera Networks

• Save big $$ by not replacing current Switches or Cable plant
• Save even more by using the right size PowerUp Midspan for the PoE Port count required per closet. Use a Chassis (4 to 24 Ports) or one or more Single Port Injectors as needed
• Eliminate installation charges for AC outlets at $350 to $700 per outlet
• With the LAN Power Voltage Adapter family, provide PoE for IP Cameras requiring 5v, 12v or 24v to operate
• 4 Port High Wattage (36 watts per Port) Chassis modules available for IP Cameras with High Wattage powering requirements
• Provides cost effective power back-up along with a UPS system
• Position the PoE Midspan wherever convenient along the LAN Data link
• LAN Power's 18 watts per Port powers many IP Camera models
