Do you want to power <\/strong>your IP cameras<\/strong> via coax<\/strong> cables?<\/p>\n

Yeah, that’s possible and I can show you how to do that…<\/p>\n

There are different ways to accomplish this task, so let’s discuss how it’s done.<\/p>\n

How to send power to IP cameras via Coax<\/h2>\n

You can use converters (A.K.A. PoE Over Coax Adapter Kits) to send power from a\u00a0<\/span>PoE switch<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>midspan\u00a0<\/span><\/a>(power injector) to your IP cameras located far away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the device and coax cable you are using, it’s possible to send PoE power to the device up to 500m<\/strong> (1600 ft) away.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can use the PoE Over Coax Adapter Kit.<\/p>\n

\"Axis<\/p>\n

This diagram shows an example of the Axis PoE+ Over Coax Adapter Kit.<\/p>\n

The converter close to the switch is called “Base<\/strong><\/em>” and the other one “Device<\/em><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The following picture shows an example of such Axis converters.<\/p>\n

\"Axis<\/p>\n

There are different ways of using such converters.<\/p>\n

You can also use different models that better suit your project needs.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the following diagram that shows a different type of application.<\/p>\n

\"Axis<\/p>\n

As you can see, there’s a power supply connected to the converter that is close to the camera (base). This solution is used when there’s a need for extra power.<\/p>\n

Here’s a table that shows the power over distance for different cables.<\/p>\n

This is an interesting solution that allows you to reuse the existing coax cables.<\/p>\n

This article shows an example with Axis converters, but you can also use other models out there from reliable manufacturers such as\u00a0<\/span>NVT<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
