4 Major Concerns In Industrial PoE Switch Solutions

With the development of cities, surveillance cameras are installed in many corners of the city, such as old alleys, towering pillars, and the roofs of buildings. We all know that surveillance cameras also require the support of power plugs and network cables to communicate normally. However, the common feature of these areas is that the natural environment is extremely extreme, which brings certain work difficulties and even risks to the wiring workers, so industrial poe switches emerged.

When using industrial POE switches, not only can wiring be reduced, but they can also be used with various device types. At the same time, PoE supporting devices can be added or removed from the network without the need to reconfigure the power infrastructure, which has good scalability. However, in practical applications, industrial POE switches still have their own special solution requirements.

Typical applications of outdoor surveillance cameras include petrochemical equipment surveillance cameras, airport road surveillance cameras, road traffic cameras, power station surveillance cameras, sewage treatment station surveillance cameras, etc. These applications have high requirements for the stability and performance of regulatory systems. System integrators have summarized the four most important aspects of industrial PoE switch solutions for network video monitoring that customers pay attention to, as follows:

1. Outdoor surveillance cameras consume a lot of electricity compared to regular cameras. Therefore, the design should consider its high functional loss characteristics and embed sufficient POE power supply cost budget.

2. Industrial POE switches must have sufficient network bandwidth to ensure smooth transmission of video content by surveillance cameras;

3. To build a reliable high-altitude security monitoring system, it is particularly important to complete the recovery mechanism for common faults of internet surveillance cameras. Otherwise, checking for camera malfunctions during lifting is a risky and time-consuming task.

4. Avoid hacker attacks or intentional personal behavior that may harm system optimization or device security, and ensure that computer devices adopt network information security measures.

Industrial PoE switches, as a specialized Ethernet switch, can simultaneously transmit data and power, providing reliable and functionally rich solutions. They not only improve the coordination ability of remote address camera installation, but also reduce wiring costs and installation operations during the deployment phase. PoE Industrial Switches have also gained popularity as a result, with increasing usage in network video surveillance.

As one of the early industrial communication equipment manufacturers in China, Houshi Network has been committed to the research and application of innovative technologies in the field of industrial communication for many years, and has applied these technologies to products to bring customers a better application experience. At present, its POE industrial switch series products have rich communication interfaces and can provide full gigabit access data interaction capabilities, fully meeting the needs of users for high-density access and high-performance aggregation, and meeting the needs of users for security, efficiency, and energy conservation of POE industrial switches in the era of the Internet of Things.
