Frequently Asked Questions
Are PoE cameras better than wireless cameras?
Yes. PoE cameras are hard-wired, so you get consistent bandwidth, fewer dropped frames, and dependable 24/7 recording. Wireless can be convenient, but PoE is the professional standard for long-term security.
Do PoE cameras need the internet?
No. Cameras record locally to the NVR. Internet is only required for remote viewing (iOS/Android/PC) and optional alerts.
How many PoE cameras can I add to a system?
Our PoE NVRs and kits scale from 2 to 64 channels. You can expand as your coverage needs grow.
Do PoE cameras work during a power outage?
If your NVR/PoE switch is on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), the system continues recording during short outages.
