mjpallarca 0 Posted November 15, 2014 If a CCTV system is said to be fiber optic ready what does it mean? Other requirement is that it is PoE (Power over Ethernet) so I assume to use only IP cameras, but what does fiber optic ready CCTV System mean? Please help me, I'm just new with my work. Thanks.

mjpallarca 0 Posted November 16, 2014 Good day Boogieman, your reply is really appreciated. I'm now in a company that offers CCTV System and a company invite us as one of their bidders. They want a PoE type of system but they also said that the CCTV cameras must be fiber optic ready, they will be providing fiber optic cables for the whole system. You mean sir that it is just an IP camera that they need? I'm quite confused for as far as I know, not all IP cameras are fiber optic ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogieman 1 Posted November 16, 2014 I doubt they ran fiber to each camera, that would be insane ...regardless you cannot run poe over fiber... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
