Multiple Factors Guarantee Stable Operation

  • PoE Auto Recovery IP Camera IP Camera

    System Self-Healing with PoE Auto Recovery

    The switch automatically detects and reboots the PD devices, such as cameras and APs, when they fall offline or go unresponsive, guaranteeing the stable operation of PoE-connected devices, without need for manual monitoring and restart.

  • Power overload 250W Intelligent Power Management Intelligent power supply 250W

    Intelligent Power Management to Prevent Power Overload

    Automatically cuts lower priority ports’ power to ensure high-priority ports’ power supply when the total PoE power consumption exceeds 250 W. This protects the device from power overload operation.
