A PoE camera system is an excellent way to monitor a business or home. More cost-effective and efficient than traditional surveillance equipment, PoE set-ups are also easier to install and expand upon. With the PoE IP camera world changing rapidly, however, selecting the right system can be overwhelming. Here are a few considerations to take […]
A team of NASA scientists has turned to Ethernet to capture clear video footage on Mars. The use of a camera and a laser mounted on the front bumper of an autonomous or semi-autonomous planetary rover called the K-REX2 has solved image quality in airless environments. Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology connecting the camera and laser to sensors, takes advantage of power and data delivery capability over a single cable to run these low-powered smart devices (PD) in space.
The COVID pandemic lockdown had a substantial impact on the Ethernet market in the first quarter of 2020. Because people weren’t in the workplace, things like switch replacements were put on hold. It wasn’t the only factor, though, as things had already begun to slow somewhat toward the end of 2019. One very probable reason […]
It’s not any port in a storm when you’re dealing with networks. Data has to get to its correct destination with maximum efficiency. Managed PoE switches give you greater control over your network than by using an unmanaged switch. Not only can you control how your ports are configured, but how data travels, how fast […]
Power over Ethernet (PoE) supports low voltage technologies like LED lighting systems, sensors, and HVAC controllers that have become standard in today’s commercial office building. PoE power devices (PD) draw less power than legacy devices, and because they are smart, they can turn off and on automatically. PoE energy costs are low and getting even […]
Images from an IP surveillance camera operating over a Power over Ethernet (PoE) network is limited by a distance of 100 meters between ports. If your IP camera must be set up over 100 meters from its network source (LAN), you will need at least one PoE extender as your receiver signal will lose integrity […]
Because Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Devices (PD) show up in user-facing smart-building deployments, they are ideal for collecting data. Moreover, the points where they are positioned and the kinds of data they collect make them extremely useful in the Machine-Learning (ML) space. In fact, you could say ML and PoE technologies have a symbiotic […]
If there’s a lesson to be learned from being stuck at home during COVID, and struggling to get things done at home that might have taken seconds in the office, it’s this–the agile workplace wins. Workplace agility is nothing new, but developing it has taken on a new urgency. Essential workers with the good fortune […]
Not every IP camera is Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled. If your customer’s existing security cameras aren’t PoE enabled, they will need to upgrade by using either a switch or a PoE injector for IP cameras. PoE injectors save you from using both a power cable and an Ethernet cord to power up and connect […]

Thanks to the rise of whole building efficiency initiatives, facility operations are becoming less of a drain on the power grid and on the people who run things. One key aspect of reducing that energy-hungry footprint is the use of low-power solutions throughout a facility, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting systems. Intelligent lighting […]
