Industrial Applications

1. Industrial Surveillance Systems

Deployment of IP cameras in harsh industrial environments such as factories, warehouses, or outdoor perimeters requiring both data connectivity and power from a single Ethernet cable.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the need for separate power outlets and wiring for IP cameras, simplifying installation and reducing costs in challenging industrial settings. The full Gigabit ports support high-resolution video streams, while the industrial-grade design (IP30, 0-60°C operating temperature, metal housing) ensures reliable operation in dusty or temperature-varying conditions.
