Installing IP cameras to cover large areas can be a challenging task. In many cases, cameras are installed at locations without easy access to power outlets, and running power cables over long distances can be impractical and costly. Additionally, large areas often require IP cameras to be installed at considerable distances from the PoE switch, making it challenging to provide power and data connectivity to the cameras. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem: long-range PoE switches. Why Do You Need a Long-Range PoE Switch? A long-range PoE switch is a network device t ..read more

When it comes to installing IP cameras, it is essential to consider various factors such as range, power supply, and compatibility. Typically, PoE is the preferred method for powering IP cameras, as it offers a convenient and cost-effective solution to transmit power and data simultaneously through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for additional power outlets and cables. However, PoE has its own limitations. The maximum distance supported by PoE is generally around 100 meters or 328 feet. What are the Problems When Installing IP Cameras Over 100M? When attempting ..read more

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows the transmission of both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This innovative solution simplifies installations, reduces costs and provides flexibility in where devices can be placed. In this blog, we will delve into the basics of PoE and how it works. Everything You Need to Know About PoE Let’s start by understanding the key components of PoE. The two main elements are the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered device (PD). The PSE generates electrical power and sends it to the PD, which consumes the power to run the device ..read more

Background Internet connectivity has become a necessity for most businesses and individuals. However, there are still many areas without reliable internet access, especially in rural and remote locations. Starlink aims to provide high-speed internet access to these areas using a network of low Earth orbit satellites. The Starlink system is designed to be an affordable and reliable solution for Internet connectivity in areas where traditional Internet service providers (ISPs) are not available or are too expensive.  Customer’s Requests One of our customers sought to connect multiple b ..read more

Highlight Office networks have relied on lower bandwidth solutions to transfer data between buildings, which leads to slower transfer speeds and bottlenecks. Upgrading to a 10G network enables the efficient operation of video conferencing tools, online collaboration platforms, and massive data storage. By using 10G media converters and SFP+ modules, you can easily upgrade to 10G speeds without replacing all the network equipment. Background The company experienced significant data congestion and slow connectivity between their main headquarter and a remote office. Their existing n ..read more

Highlight with the growing demand for online learning platforms and video conferencing tools, educational institutions struggle with limited bandwidth, resulting in slow network speeds, connectivity drops, and even frequent network congestion. By leveraging the speed and reliability of fiber optics, institutions can overcome limited connectivity and bandwidth bottlenecks. With a point-to-point fiber optic network, online resources, interactive learning platforms and virtual classrooms become easily accessible, enhancing the educational experience. Background Educational institutions are evo ..read more

If you are looking to install IP cameras for your security system, you may have come across the term PoE NVR. The PoE NVR is a device that combines the functionality of a network video recorder with the capability to provide power to IP cameras over a single Ethernet cable, which eliminates the need for separate power cables for each camera. However, the PoE NVR can only transmit data up to a distance of 100 meters, which may not be sufficient for certain installations where cameras need to be placed far away. To overcome this challenge, a PoE extender can be used. What’s a PoE Extender ..read more

Highlight Farms and ranches consist of vast areas, spanning from hundreds to thousands of acres, making the installation of surveillance cameras challenging. To overcome these challenges, long-range PoE switches can be utilized to install cameras at specific locations to monitor different spots across the property. Other measures can also be taken to mitigate the effects of lightning/power surges and camera compatibility issues. Background In recent years, the demand for surveillance systems on farms and ranches has increased significantly. These systems help monitor the daily activities an ..read more

Highlight Perimeter security is of utmost importance in boat/RV storage facilities. However, these facilities are often located in remote areas where there is no power supply or network infrastructure. To the rescue comes the waterproof PoE extender. It addresses the challenges of power availability, distance limitations, and costly cable infrastructure. Use 300M PoE extension kits to extend PoE+ signals over 500 meters without the hassle of daisy-chaining 4 PoE extenders, reducing points of failure. Background Boat and RV storage facilities are becoming increasingly popular as more people ..read more
