A digital security camera normally needs to be connected to a network connection and a power connection to operate. But if the camera is Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled, only the network connection is required. You do not need a separate power cable because the network cables carry electrical power. PoE is now used commonly on networked surveillance cameras, where it enables fast deployment and easy repositioning. The main benefit of PoE is the immense cost savings associated with it because installing a separate power line is unnecessary. When looking to invest in a good digital surveillance camera for your business or home, you can opt for PoE cameras. They are easy to deploy and manage and are very unassuming in size. The major advantage of these Poe cameras is their features, which include the ability to control and monitor from a remote area on any remote PC or 3G enabled devices, such as a mobile phone or PDA. These PoE cameras have their own software, so video is streamed via the network with the help of a single Ethernet cable. The IP Network Camera enables advanced remote monitoring, with pan, tilt and zoom features that help to detect any suspicious movement. This can be controlled from any PC connected to the local area network or the Internet. These cameras are functional not only in illuminated areas but also provide clear recordings of places that are poorly illuminated or submerged in total darkness. Their weatherproof feature makes it an ideal choice for use outdoors also. IP network cameras are tamper proof, highly secure, encrypted and need authentication for access. It is impossible to alter the configuration of the equipment. IP Camera systems are highly efficient as they record events in real time and, with their motion detection capability, trigger alerts in case of any suspicious activity. The camera provides some other benefits also, such as setting off email alerts to the authorities and streaming the recordings. The images delivered are sharp and clear which helps in recognizing those who try to break in. The PoE standard has been widely accepted by the security industry due to the major benefit it offers for device installation and maintenance. Installation and deployment of network cameras is easy and devoid of any complications as they can be mounted in any location. This also makes maintenance of equipment easier, as faulty cameras can be detected and shut down, preventing damage to related equipment. Some advantages of installing PoE cameras are: a) Makes moving IP cameras to new locations simple. b) Adding more IP cameras to your system can be done quickly and efficiently. c) As most server rooms have an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), operation of this video system with PoE is more secure during power outages. Installing a PoE digital security camera is a good way to ensure that you provide enough protection to your house and business without turning away or offending your neighbors.
