The Axis Communications Power over Lan Midspan 1-Port can be used to inject electrical power into the same Ethernet cable used to transmit data over a network. By having a single cable carrying both data and power, camera installation is no longer limited to areas with a close proximity to an AC outlet.

This makes it possible to install the camera close to a ceiling, in hallways, inside outdoor housings, on rooftops and numerous other environments where running electrical wiring is inconvenient, too costly or simply unsightly.

Key Features

• Major Cost Saver. By using the same cable to transmit both data and power over a network, there's no need to hire an electrician to install additional electrical wiring, making PoE a real time and cost saver.
• Fail Safe Operation. In facilities containing UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) devices, PoE will also keep the camera operating in the event of a power failure occurring at the camera site.
• Remote Power Management. Using optional specialized software, PoE makes it possible to remotely monitor and configure power options just as easy as it would be for data transmissions.
• Optional Power for Non PoE Devices. By using a PoE injector at the network source end and a PoE splitter at the receiving end, non PoE equipped cameras can be powered solely by their Ethernet cables.
• Scalable. As an enterprise grows so does its security requirements. Midspans are easily expandable by combining multiple units and mounting them in an electrical closet.
