Increasing POE voltage

[Burner]

Hello!
What's the best way to go from POE to POE+ on and existing drop. Can I add an injector between the camera and switch? I want to power a PTZ camera that requires more than my switch is currently produces.
Thanks!!

POE+ is not voltage it is signal processing. Both end of the comlink need to be POE+

I stand corrected. I guess I should have said watts .

POE is 15.4 Watts - 802.3af
POE+ is 30 Watts - 802.3at

If the device is PoE+ than you need either a PoE+ midspan/injector or PoE+ switch. What is the device?

I've not yet picked out what I want, I'm just trying to figure out what I'll need to add the PTZ. I'm pretty sure I'll need more watts than the 15 or so my current switch is putting out. I'm planning on replacing an existing camera with the PTZ which means my current switch is not going to cut it.... I do have several other switches which put out 15 / 30 watts which I can probably use.
Thanks!!

There are quite a few PTZ that take standard 802.3af. Of course, some of the larger PTZ will need 802.3at. Just need to pick your device first and then deal with the power issue. Adding a high power midspan is simple.

Depends on which PTZ you end up with.

Thanks everyone for all your help!!

if it's just the one cam that needs PoE+ (up to 30w) vs regualr PoE (up to 15w) from teh NVR or current swcith, then just get a single PoE+ injector for use at the switch/NVR end for that one camera.

but if your;e thinking of having multiple cams needing mor ethan 15w each in teh fture, then spring for a switch that support PoE+ on at least few ports...
