In VLOG #004, Paul Richards will introduce a new PoE (Power Over Ethernet) Adapter for PTZOptics Cameras from WiFi-Texas!

Product Description – WT-AF-12v12w : http://wifi-texas.com/pdf/WT-GAF-12v1…

This device provides a low cost solution for delivering power to a 12 volt camera or routers over 328ft of network cable.
This device allows power to be carried on 10/100/1000 networks with either 802.3af or passive injectors and switches
with a CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 Ethernet network cable.
Intended for use with Cisco or similar PoE switches – this active PoE solution negotiates with the switch to activate
power and provide it to the client device. It is a compact and cost effective power solution. The switch supplies 48 or 56
volts DC at the source location. The higher DC voltage means the current is reduced by a factor of 4, and then carried
with less loss over the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T network cable. The splitter extracts the DC voltage from the network
cable and reduces the voltage to 12v, and increases the available current by the same factor to power the camera on
the 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm splitter DC plug. Unlike simple injector / splitter sets, this combination of a 48v source and 12v
converter allows you to extend the distance with this product for this application up to 328ft or 100 meters.
We also offer kits with up to 16 injectors and splitters – so one power supply can feed 4, 8, 12 or 16 cameras. These
kits include the Multi Port Passive POE injector and a power supply of either 30 watts, 60 watts or 120 watts.

Hello everybody, Paul Richards here with PTZ Optics, and today’s vlog which is number four, we are going over Power Over Ethernet. We were at infocomm just a couple months ago, we bumped into a company called Texas WiFi who specializes in Power Over Ethernet. So I’ve actually got one here, this is what it looks like, and they’ve been doing Power Over Ethernet for years now and they’ve got a lot of great solutions that work specifically with our cameras. So as you can see here it’s just a POE injector that basically has two of kind of like a pig tail you could call it, one gives you Network and Streaming and IP control of the camera, the other is power for the camera. So there quite a few nice little options with this, as you know we don’t do any post-production, but here’s the website here www.wifi-texas.com, and you go into that website and you see that really they just have a couple really great basic products for Power Over Ethernet. The model number on this is WT-GAF-12V12W, of course we’re going to have it in the description below and it’s only in the neighborhood of 30 or 40 dollars, so it’s really really great and affordable. As you can see here we’ve got a little tiny POE kit that they sell in case you don’t have a POE Switch. Normally you know, Cisco POE switches are big bucks, but they have some really nice affordable options if you’re just deploying a small camera system and you want to have power for all the cameras distributed over CAT5. Really great stuff, here’s what it looks like again, this is what I’m holding here, the POE adapter. So great little solution. Our Go Green Initiative starts this Friday, this Friday our live stream is going to feature our solar array so I’m super excited about that. We’re going to have Panasonic of all people on our live stream and Fronius. Panasonic is the manufacturer of the solar panels we’ve installed, and Fronius does the inverters. So this Friday we’re going to be flying a drone over the solar array, talking about our new Grow Green, Go Green project that’s going to help green environmental companies go live, and we’re going to help them with special incentives to do so. So if you liked anything you saw here today, check it out, we’ve got something new every Friday, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel up here, and basically we’ve got live streams on Friday, and below we’ve got a free eBook, and it’s basically plug and play live streaming tips, tricks and tutorials, all the things that can get your up and running, we’ve got a great YouTube page for all of that. Thank you all for watching and have a nice day.
