POE switch and POE injectors. Questions.

[car_wash_guy]

Question about injectors and a switch. Coming up on installing my PTZ's and had some questions.

It was suggested that "I run them (injectors) instead of going directly to the switch".

1. I would assume that the injectors are placed between the POE switch and the PTZ(in this case) camera?
2. Is there a best location for the injectors? PTZ's are ~100' away from the switch. Does it matter if I install them at the switch location instead of closer to the PTZ's ( in attic - worried about equipment failures due to excessive heat).

Thanks

Yes after the switch before the camera. The only advantage to running a midspan injector is price...its not better in any other way..You have to deal with an extra set of wiring and the midspan itself..It doesnt matter where you place it....in your case i would put it near the switch...

Do you think I need the injector? Here is the switch I'm running:

It's 802.3at/af and 30w per port.

Thanks

You do not need an injector...that switch is poe+...so unless your ptz draws more than 30w you dont need anything else...

It depends on the PTZ you are using. Most of the smaller PTZ cameras use less than 15 watts but the bigger PTZ Hikvisions for example use alot more, especially when the IR's are in use. In which case you would have no option only to use an injector.

What PTZ are you installing ?

These are the PTZs I'm installing:

That camera indicates hi-poe....poe+ cant deliver the full 30w to the camera...that switch very well may be able to...I would contact lts to confirm...otherwise you will need to find a high poe injector or simply run power cable..
