The purpose of the switch is to segregate traffic on the network so that security cameras and related traffic managed by the switch PoE ports and U1 network uplinks are not shared with other networks. Power can also be allocated manually and by actual consumption. If the actual power consumption for a given port exceeds the reserved power for that port, it will shut down.
Ports will shut down when the actual power consumption for all ports exceeds the total amount of power that the power supply can deliver.
The ports are then shut down according to the ports priority where a lower port number means higher priority. See Configure switch.
In the PoE column, click to turn on PoE on the specific port. Click and select Turn on PoE on all ports.
In the PoE column, click to turn off PoE on the specific port. Click and select Turn off PoE on all ports. This improves security and prevents unauthorized users from connecting a laptop or other devices to the security network.
In the Lock column, click to lock the port. Click and select Lock all ports. In the Lock column, click to unlock the port. Click and select Unlock all ports. Power requested: the total power in watts and percentage allocated to devices.
Only available when you select Reserved power as the power allocation method. Reserved power: In this method, each port reserves the amount of power. The total reserved power cannot exceed the total power budget. A port will not be powered up if the device tries to reserve more power than available. This method ensures that the connected devices will be powered.
PoE class: Each port automatically determines the amount of power to reserve according to the PoE class of the connected device. Manual: You can manually adjust the amount of power allocated to each port by changing the value under Power allocated.
Actual consumption: In this method, devices use the amount of power they need until reaching the power budget. A port will be shut down if the device consumes more power than available. The ports are shut down according to the priority. To use the actual consumption method, select Actual consumption under Allocate power. If you have selected Manual , go to the Power allocated column and change the power allocated to the connected device. If you want to change the priority of the connected device, select a priority for that device.
The priority of other devices will change automatically. In this example, the switch has a total power budget of W. A PoE class 4 device requests 30 W power and actually consumes 15 W power. A PoE class 2 device requests 7 W power and actually consumes 5 W power. In this way, all connected devices are guaranteed enough power and the priority is less important. When connecting a device, the switch will power it up if the max power limit can be ensured at that time. Later each device consumes up to 30 W power.
The switch cannot power five devices and the port 5 with the lowest priority is shut down. In this way, the priority of the port is important. The port with the lowest priority will be shut down first when the actual consumption exceeds the power budget.
But for most camera installations, we recommend using the default settings. The reason for this is that a surveillance network is normally isolated from other networks, for example a corporate LAN. In this case, you would only use the surveillance network to manage and collect surveillance devices and data from the video management software installed on the server.
The factory default settings are: a static IP connection with address NTP only works when the switch is connected to a network and configured with Internet access. This might result in the corporate network not working.
When you use the switch uplink connection to allow devices to access or being accessed by external application, you must specify the gateway and DNS addresses. If you have changed the port number, ensure you record the new port number. Drag and drop the firmware file or click Browse and navigate to the firmware file. While the switch reboots, all connected devices will temporarily lose connection with the switch including PoE. Click Create a backup file. The backup file in the. It could take a few minutes to restore the switch from the backup file.

High or very variable network latency can cause time synchronization issue and affect classification of detections based on analytics metadata. Continuous recording is recommended. Using motion detection triggered recordings will result in detections without video recordings. Record only a single stream. Smart search 2 currently uses the lowest available video quality for classification. Classification of object types and detection accuracy will be negatively affected by low image quality due to high compression levels, by weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow and for cameras with low resolution, heavy distortion, large field of view or excessive vibrations.
Make sure that the lighting conditions are within the camera specification. Use additional lighting if needed. Color classification will not work in darkness or with IR illumination. Only cameras with a single video channel are supported. Cameras, video encoders with multiple channels, mirrored or cropped camera streams are not supported.
