Enhanced PoE+ for a Smarter Security World

City utilities and industry sectors are being connected to video surveillance systems in order to create a smarter world with enhanced safety and security.


To accommodate the growing connectivity and power needs of security infrastructures, Moxa's PoE/PoE+ Ethernet switches function like a power station, feeding up to either 36 W or 60 W per PoE+ link to deliver full power for PTZ cameras and wireless devices through a switch with up to 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports.


Unlike commercial PoE solutions, Moxa's PoE/PoE+ solutions boast cybersecurity features, millisecond-fast failover, high EMI/surge protection, and -40 to 75°C operating temperature ranges to withstand harsh environments. All the features of our PoE/PoE+ switches are designed to meet the surveillance requirements for utility, oil & gas, offshore, transportation, and smart city applications.

How Industrial PoE Switches Facilitate Reliable Outdoor IP Surveillance Networks

A Centralized Security Network for Substation Monitoring | Moxa
A Centralized Security Network for Substation Monitoring

A national power grid located in the desert planned to deploy a centralized security system to connect more than 150 substations and consolidate management of multiple security systems—video surveillance, physical access control, and IP phone systems—within a single room.



System Requirements
  • 24/7 reliability for continuous operation
  • Connectivity and availability even during EMI and surge conditions
  • Remote management of operations to reduce costly onsite visits to unmanned locations


Moxa's Solutions

Extreme weather was the first challenge for achieving year-round operational reliability. All Moxa's switches used in this network, from the edge to the core, are fanless units designed with 3kV LAN surge protection, extended operating temperature ranges and dual-power inputs to ensure long-lasting system durability and connection reliability.

To build an efficient layer-3 network architecture, the backbone uses hot-swappable 10GbE/48-port full-Gigabit modular switches to construct a high-speed backbone for routing and switching.

To ensure the safety and security of every substation, two types of PoE+ switches—the IKS-6728A-8PoE 24+4G and the EDS-P510A-8PoE 2G+8 switches—were installed at each substation to link access security control and deliver surveillance video back to the control center. Both switches provide 8-port/24-port 36 W outputs to supply the power needed for IP cameras, door access controllers, and VoIP equipment over Ethernet, and are built to withstand harsh desert environments.

To save on manual checks and personnel trips to remote and unmanned substations, these PoE switches provide Smart PoE management, which allows the security center to remotely monitor connected PDs to perform status detection, failure checks, threshold cutoffs, reboots, and active event warnings. All of these features provide improved efficiency for widespread control and monitoring, saving time and related costs.



Why Moxa
  • Industrial-grade products that can withstand harsh operating conditions
  • High-density high-power PoE-port connectivity
  • Remote PoE network management and maintenance

 

A City Implements Better Connectivity for Better Opportunities

An Asian capital planned to utilize ICT (information and communication technology) to construct city infrastructure to keep ahead of global competition with improved public services and business conditions. The infrastructure would need to support 24/7 services, including data collection from sensors, surveillance video from cameras, and urban network access.



System Requirements
  • Broadband data collection and power-supply
  • Uninterrupted network reliability
  • Network protection against cyber attacks


Moxa's Solutions

To simplify such a varied network infrastructure, 12-port Gigabit EDS-G512E-8PoE switches were used to support mixed data collection and power supply for the variety of field instruments installed inside street facilities.

Built with full Gigabit capabilities, the switches provide up to 8 channels of 36 W output to feed electricity to a large number of PoE powered devices (PDs) including sensors, cameras, and wireless access points, all of which must receive sufficient power to provide full functionality and performance.

With the Smart PoE utility, the EDS-G512E-8PoE switch provides auto-detection of a PD's power class to facilitate plug-and-play deployment and startup. Smart PoE allows for remote monitoring and auto reboot of PDs, simplifying basic troubleshooting and maintenance and cutting down on manual tasks needed.

The EDS-G512E-8PoE switches provide cybersecurity that prevents malicious network access, and also provides extreme robustness against environmental threats, including EMI, surge, noise, shock, and extreme temperature variations.



Why Moxa
  • 12-port Gigabit and high PoE+ output for bandwidth and power hungry IP cameras and wireless APs
  • Extreme robustness against extreme conditions
  • Device-level cybersecurity for access protection
60W PoE Switches Help PTZ Traffic Monitoring and Plate Recognition for Highway Surveillance

 

PTZ Traffic Monitoring and Plate Recognition for Highway Surveillance

Safety is priceless, but challenging for busy commuter highways. A regional traffic management center (TMC) planned to deploy a surveillance system for vehicle detection and speed measurement. The environment would face a wide variety of environmental conditions, and cameras would have to monitor traffic day and night, and in rain, snow, or shine. The surveillance system would be composed of HD PTZ cameras for panoramic monitoring and IR cameras for plate recognition, both of which needed to be powered by high-power PoE switches to simplify system deployment and future maintenance.



System Requirements
  • High-power power sources
  • Outdoor network reliability
  • Easy system monitoring and maintenance


Moxa's Solutions

Moxa's EDS-P506E-4PoE 4FE+2GE switches were used as they can provide up to 60 watts per PoE link, giving the cameras the power they needed for pan, tilt, zoom, and focus control. The EDS-P506E-4PoE was also able to feed power to infrared (IR) cameras and illumination peripherals at the same time with 4 PoE+ ports and a total power capacity of 180 watts.

The compact EDS-P506E-4PoE switches feature two-port Gigabit uplinks, millisecond-level failover redundancy, and dual power inputs, ensuring constant and robust connections for traffic surveillance monitoring. They were also used to secure the surveillance network by providing device-level cybersecurity to defend against both internal and external threats.

PoE network deployment was simplified through the built-in Smart PoE functionality, which helped automatically identify the different types of PoE powered devices (PDs) and performed configuration and connection with just a few clicks. It was also used for failure checks and auto reboots to ensure that all the connected cameras and illuminators were working properly. If a reboot of a PD couldn’t solve the problem, engineers could now check on the problem through the web console or viewing the PoE link status shown by the LED indicators on the switch’s front panel.



Why Moxa
  • High PoE output up to 60 watts for power-hungry cameras and peripherals
  • Smart PoE for easy configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of connected PDs
  • Device-level cybersecurity to protect the network
