    Long Distance

    Long-distance (100 to 300 meters) network transmissions via PoE interface.

    Short Distance

    Short-distance (< 100 meters) network transmission via PoE interface.

    Note:

    • The PoE ports are enabled with the short distance mode by default.

    • The bandwidth of IP camera connected to the PoE via long network cable (100 to 300 meters) cannot exceed 6 MP.

    • The allowed max. long network cable may be less than 300 meters depending on different IP camera models and cable materials.

    • When the transmission distance reaches 100 to 250 meters, you must use the CAT5E or CAT6 network cable to connect with the PoE interface.

    • When the transmission distance reaches 250 to 300 meters, you must use the CAT6 network cable to connect with the PoE interface.
