Power where you need it
CAMSWITCH 4 Plus is a 5-port
10/100 switch including four POE
outputs, and one port for non-POE
downlink or optional POE input.
CAMSWITCH 8 Plus is a 10-port
10/100 switch featuring eight POE
outputs, and two further ports, one of
which has an optional POE input.
CAMSWITCH Switches are exceptionally
compact and rugged, and require no
user configuration. Ethernet speed,
duplex and crossover are detected
or negotiated automatically, and IEEE
802.3af/at POE is delivered
automatically to compliant devices.
For other equipment, all ports can be
used for regular non-POE Ethernet
connections.
Wall-mount clips are included and
CAMSWITCH 8 Plus is also compatible
with Veracity’s configurable
rack-mounting system.

Versatile power input for maximum power budget
Use POE power for extending range or adding devices
CAMSWITCH Plus can also be powered
by POE, supporting remote positioning,
range extension, or adding devices to
existing cables.
Veracity’s OUTSOURCE Plus injector
is recommended for maximum POE
budget and range, however for
applications with low POE requirements
or data-only connections, a regular
802.3af switch may be used.
CAMSWITCH Plus may be used with
Veracity’s 57V DC power supply
models, providing a range of power
budgets to suit each installation.
Veracity’s class-leading power system
delivers the maximum power, efficiency,
and reliability available within the POE
standard. It also supports maximum
range extension: using CAMSWITCH
Plus is equivalent to adding an
OUTSOURCE Plus injector or separate
57V power supply when delivering POE
to OUTREACH Max, LONGSPAN or
HIGHWIRE PowerStar.

Power Budget
Power source Budget Supports (example)
VPSU-57V-800 Power Supply 40 watts OR
VPSU-57V-1500 Power Supply 78 watts
Veracity Rack Power System 200 watts
802.3af POE Switch 10 watts
VOR-OSP OUTSOURCE Plus POE Injector 25 watts
Typical static IP camera (up to 8 watts) PTZ dome using POE Plus (up to 25.5 watts)
Wall mounting
Neat snap-on mounting brackets permit
secure wall mounting where required.
Rack mounting
CAMSWITCH 8 Plus is designed to fit in
Veracity’s configurable rack mounting
system. A rack mount plate allows up to
4 units to be mounted in only 1U of space.

Veracity’s forthcoming rackmount
power system delivers up to 200 watts
of power to each installed product, with
optional redundancy.
How to work out the total power required for
a camera installation:

1. Look up the power in watts from each camera’s datasheet.
Allow for any devices which may be added in future.
2. Add these figures together to find the total budget required.
(Cable losses are already accounted for and do not need to be included)
3. Select a power source which can support the budget required or greater.
All ports can always be used for network connections. POE is only enabled to compliant devices;
non-POE Ethernet equipment can simply be connected as normal.
Selecting the right power source
CAMSWITCH Plus can be powered by a range of AC adapters
or POE sources to suit the budget required:
POE power classes are not used by CAMSWITCH
Plus, as they are often unreliable. However in
the absence of other information, they can
be used to estimate a camera’s power
requirement as follows:
• a POE class 1 camera will draw 3.8 watts or less
• a POE class 2 camera will draw 6.5 watts or less
• a POE class 3 or 0 camera (full 802.3af) will draw
13 watts or less
• a POE class 4 camera (full 802.3at) will draw
25.5 watts or less
