4K cameras

  Yes, Power over Ethernet (PoE) can support 4K security cameras, provided that the appropriate PoE standard is used to meet the camera’s power and bandwidth requirements. Here's a breakdown:   PoE Standards: 1.PoE (IEEE 802.3af): Delivers up to 15.4W per port, which may not be enough for many 4K cameras, especially those with advanced features like night vision or motorized zoom. 2.PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at): Provides up to 30W per port, which is typically sufficient for most 4K security cameras, even those with additional functions. 3.PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt): Supports 60W (Type 3) or 100W (Type 4), ideal for higher-power cameras or setups with added devices like microphones or sensors.     Bandwidth Requirements: --- 4K video resolution requires a higher bandwidth for smooth transmission. Typically, a 4K camera needs 15-25 Mbps of bandwidth for video streaming. --- Use Cat5e or higher Ethernet cables (Cat6 or Cat6a recommended) to ensure sufficient data transmission rates.     In summary, PoE+ and PoE++ can easily support 4K security cameras, both in terms of power and data transmission, depending on the specific model and features.
