How do you ground an IP camera? My ACTi cams are wired to my POE network switch. The switch is plugged into a grounded outlet via a UPS. Does that mean I am safe, or do I need to do anything else.

you should be fine see definition for Extra Low Voltage - basically presents no danger of shock.

poe- 48v direct current.

----------------------------------------------

Extra-low voltage (ELV), in electricity supply, is one of several means to protect against electrical shock.[1][2][3][4] The International Electrotechnical Commission and its member organizations define an ELV circuit as one in which the electrical potential of any conductor against earth (ground) is not more than either 25 volts RMS (35 volts peak) for alternating current[inconsistent], or ripple-free 60 volts for direct current under dry conditions. Lower numbers apply in wet conditions, or when large contact areas are exposed to contact with the human body.[
