Power-over-Ethernet(PoE) devices can provide and receive power through an Ethernet cable. PoE devices could be:
- PoE Switch
- PoE Injector
There are however different kinds of power levels when talking about PoE. Some devices may require more power in order to power up like the ADC-VC729P so make sure you check which one you may need. These are:
- PoE 44-57V DC @ 15.4W (802.3af)
- PoE+ 50-57V DC @ 30W (802.3at)
- PoE++ 50-57V DC @ 60W (802.3bt)
Video devices capable of using Power-over-Ethernet only require one cable for power and data. These devices include:
- ADC-VC727P (PoE 12.5W)
- ADC-VDB755P (PoE 15.4W)
- ADC-VC729P (PoE++)
The maximum distance that PoE can provide power is typically 100 meters (328 feet).
PoE Switch
A PoE switch would be preferred when powering multiple PoE cameras over just one camera. When looking for a PoE switch, you will have to make sure that there is enough power provided by the switch to power all of your devices.

PoE Injector
A PoE injector works similar to a switch but only provides Power-over-Ethernet to one video camera device. A PoE injector is also the most common type of device to power a PoE++ device like the ADC-VC729P.
