PoE extender over coax solutions for remote IP
surveillance
(1888PressRelease) The Enconn PoE(Power over
Ethernet) extender is designed with the concept
of using the existing coaxial cables for a
traditional analogue system and upgrading it up
to the latest IP surveillance techniques. As the
surveillance market moves forward towards
IP/Ethernet systems, the subject of ease of
integration has become a common subject. However,
the issue of 'how to power and transmit IP
signals over 100 metres has always troubled the
installers of today. In order to optimise the use
of IP cameras within a system, Enconn,
specialists in Ethernet/IP connectivity
solutions, have introduced their PoE (power over
Ethernet) over coax solution extender for solving
powering and wiring problems in most IP
surveillance applications today. Alpha Pricing,
an authorised distributor of Axis products in
Taiwan since 2004, has adopted and installed the
Enconn's PoE extender devices into their IP
surveillance systems in Taiwan. According to
Alpha the Enconn PoE device and technology offers
an efficient and cost effective
solution. Firstly it is about solving the
problem of powering each IP camera at a remote
site. By using PoE through coax, the technique
allows today's IP surveillance systems the
ability to provide similar powering methods to
telephone systems in order to improve
reliability. This means that IP surveillance will
not be hindered even when there is a drop in
power where the cameras are located. It is quite
common to used PoE over coax to power regular IP
camera(s) at 615.4 watts (802.3af) or high power
up to 30 Watts(802.3at) remotely from 200300m .
The PoE extender over coax is a perfect fit for
these conditions.

Darla Yang, Product Manager of Alpha Pricing,
said "High cost fibre and wireless solutions may
be suitable for long distances (gt100m)
transmission, but power supply always remains a
problematic issue. PoE also provides a
hassle-free contingency plan during power
shortages, requiring only one UPS unit to power a
central PoE switch (which in turn powers multiple
PoE cameras) instead of providing a UPS unit for
each camera location. Secondly is the deployment
of an IP link between IP camera and digital
storage for outdoors in the middle distance
range. Alpha Pricing had previously considered
using fibre optical systems. When they discovered
the costs and the inconvenience in its
implementation and installation for the job, they
turned to Enconn for the PoE coax solution
extender. Darla said "The cost of equipment and
cabling for a fibre optical system are extremely
restrictive without even taking into account the
additional costs to power each individual IP
camera at all sites. We are happy to be
introduced to the Enconn solution because it has
solved and answered the problems that normally
arise when considering powering and cabling
options. The greatest advantage with Enconn's
PoE extender is its seamless integration with
existing coax cables. Furthermore, simplicity of
hardware and software makes it more convenient in
use for installations and maintenance. In terms
of the ongoing move towards environmentally
friendly products, the Enconn PoE over coax
solution not only minimises cable wastage, but
also uses less power and save money as it
consumes less than 2 Watts of power during
operation. "Environmentally friendly, easy-to-use
and innovative devices are what is required for
IP camera transmission. This PoE over coax
solution fits the niche in the current market."
Darla indicated, "With this solution, distance
limitations and cost issues are both solved with
one single coax cable. This makes Enconn's PoE
extender a great solution in terms of marketing
and cost effectiveness." http//www.enconn.com S
