PoE network camera in Global market

Development of PoE network camera in Global market

Since the launching of Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, global enterprise are eager to utilize this emerging technology in just a few years. According the latest survey, in just six years from 2008 to now, the annual increasing rate of power equipment with PoE technology will reach 33%. In 2014, global market of power devices with PoE technology will be over $5.2 billion, compound annual growth rate will be 38%.

Along with the development of worldwide security market, users start to consider deploying some network cameras and other network security devices. Network surveillance based on PoE is more and more accepted by users and have great development.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) means keeping the current Ethernet cat-5 deployment, assure interface AP for wireless network security cameras and other IP signal devise based on IP signal, at the same time, it is able to power ac electric for those kinds of devices. PoE technology use one general Ethernet cable to transmit Ethernet signal and ac electrical source simultaneously, allowing power and date to be integrated into the same cable system. In the case of guaranteeing the construction cable safety, keep normal answer operation. PoE network camera use PoE technology to realize the network video surveillance, which has power device function to use direct current main provided by power device equipment to transmit to power device via twisted-pair.
Compared to normal network camera, PoE network camera has following advantages: apart from power the connected device through Ethernet cable, PoE reduce the investment cost, as a result, it decrease the overall the deployment costs to  organize the device based on IP infrastructure. Poe not only provide the need for installing wall power connection, which dramatically reduce the plug costs related supporting end devices but also install the network connection device on the place where is hard to deploy the local alternating current power supply, to some content, provide more flexibility. We can separate PoE network camera form power device end in the practice, which can be divide into two types, normal cameras and PoE adaptor. Front end has Ethernet switch for PoE power, and back end has PoE adaptor, which will transmit the twisted cable power to network camera for the working power. Because power device is able to identify the rate of power, when we use ups to power, the advantage of saving energy is more obvious.
