Power-over-Ethernet Connectivity:
A Powerful, Reliable Alternative to HomePlug!"
An alternative to HomePlug
Don t have enough outlets? Use a detached garage or storage facility? While HomePlug is perfect for most Logitech Alert customers and their homes, there are some situations where you need an alternative solution. That s why Logitech Alert is also compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
technology. PoE uses a standard Ethernet cable to connect your Alert cameras to your network as well as power your camera on one single cable.
A hardwired connection up to 1 Gbps
A highly reliable and robust networking option, PoE allows you to hardwire your Logitech Alert camera to your network at home. To deliver consistently high-quality video, PoE transmits up to 1 Gbps for up to 300 feet (100 meters)1. And because it uses a hardwired ethernet cable, PoE doesn t suffer from interference, unlike Wi-Fi.
Standards-based, easy-to-install
PoE is a standards-based technology that works with Logitech Alert cameras and compatible PoE
routers. To use PoE, simply connect a standard Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or a router to a Logitech Alert Camera.
Alternatively, if you don t have a compatible router, you can use a midspan device (or power injector).
The midspan device sits between your camera and your non-PoE router or switch. It will inject the power at 48V onto the Ethernet cable, allowing your security system to simultaneously transmit video and power through the camera cable. A third option is to mix and match PoE and HomePlug connectivity. In this scenario, you get the power and reliability of both networking technologies
and the ability to potentially cover a greater range of space and setups.
