Networking

Network-based video systems need a switch that can both power and connect your equipment. The Nexel P8 delivers Gigabit networking and IEEE 802.3af/at PoE on eight ports, so PTZ cameras and controllers each run from a single cable, with two uplink ports to connect the rest of your network.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a PoE switch with PTZ cameras?

A PoE switch sends power and data over the same network cable, so each camera needs only one cable for power, control and NDI video. That simplifies installation and avoids running mains power to ceiling or wall positions.
