Can Axis 214 ptz and 215 ptz be powered by injector/splitter

Recommended Posts

The axis 214 is rated at 11-14v @ 14watt max

and the axis 215 is rated at 12v @ 14.5 max

 

Will poe injector/splitter be able to power the camera?

These cameras are not POE, u have to use the power adapter

Would depend on the power rating of your splitter - PoE spec only provides up to 15.4W, so it would be pretty close to the max.

 

Firassh, he's talking about using a PoE splitter at the camera end - it pulls the power off the PoE line and knocks it back down to 12VDC (or whatever the particular splitter is designed for).

Thx soundy, so its possible but really depends on my splitter's specs.

 

DWL-P200 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter Kit

Terminal Unit Output: 5V DC, 2.5A or 12V DC, 1A

 

I guess 1 Amp is the max out put, anyone know how to calculate if the wattage of 14.5 over the 1 amp value?

P=VI. 12V * 1A = 12W.

 

BTW, those ratings are MAX wattage for the cameras... in basic use it will probably be somewhat less.

 

Edit: In other words, you're probably okay... max current draw would happen if, say, something impeded the camera while it was trying to move.

I think the output power in this case is limited by the splitter - PoE+ would likely provide no benefit.

Well you would have to use it with POE+ injector

 

POE+ splitter

Output power:

- 5, 7.5, 9 or 12 V DC, selectable via switch

- Maximum output: 5 V - 4 A, 7.5 V - 2.7 A, 9 V - 2.3 A, 12 V - 1.7 A

 

FYI Axis has all the parts on there site for POE+ and powering both the 214 and 215

FYI, AXIS actually have their own PoE solution for the AXIS 214 camera.

 

Check out the following link for more information:

http://www.axis.com/products/pol/high_poe/supported.htm

 

Note that the camera is not native PoE, so this setup involves the use of a PoE+ injector, and a splitter. The splitter separates data and power, which is regulated back down to the 12V the camera operates on (from the 48V PoE voltage).

 

My understanding is that it also uses the newer 802.3at Type 2/PoE+ (they call it High PoE) standard which can deliver up to 34.2 watts to the device, rather than the older 802.3af standard which can only provide 15.4 watts to the device.

 

More information on PoE standards can be found here (might be an interesting read):

Hope this helps guys!
