When connecting a PoE injector to a network camera, is there anything I should take care?

  • Network Cameras
  • Specification

A PoE-compatible camera must be connected to a PoE injector using a Category 5e or higher cable. Ensure the PoE injector complies with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards and verify compatibility before use.

For PoE injectors, there are models compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards, so please use one that matches the standard of the camera.
Please note that some power supplies may be labeled as IEEE802.3af/at/bt compliant, but may not emit a valid detection signal, so please check before use.
Please check the following website for verified products.
