IP PoE Security Cameras Make Professional Installation Easier
One of the biggest advantages of modern PoE security cameras is simplified cabling. Power over Ethernet allows compatible IP cameras to receive electrical power and transmit video and network data through a single Ethernet cable. This makes professional wired surveillance easier to plan while avoiding the need for a separate power outlet next to every camera.
Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable can connect compatible cameras directly to a PoE NVR or network infrastructure. For customers building a new surveillance system, IP PoE technology is generally our preferred platform because of its video quality, flexibility, advanced features and ability to expand.

Indoor & Outdoor IP Security Cameras
IP cameras can protect virtually every important area of a property. Businesses commonly use them around entrances, cash-handling areas, warehouses, parking lots, offices, loading docks and building perimeters. Homeowners may use IP cameras around entrances, driveways, garages, yards and other areas where dependable surveillance is important.
