Power over Ethernet (PoE) supports low voltage technologies like LED lighting systems, sensors, and HVAC controllers that have become standard in today’s commercial office building. PoE power devices (PD) draw less power than legacy devices, and because they are smart, they can turn off and on automatically. PoE energy costs are low and getting even […]
Images from an IP surveillance camera operating over a Power over Ethernet (PoE) network is limited by a distance of 100 meters between ports. If your IP camera must be set up over 100 meters from its network source (LAN), you will need at least one PoE extender as your receiver signal will lose integrity […]
Because Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Devices (PD) show up in user-facing smart-building deployments, they are ideal for collecting data. Moreover, the points where they are positioned and the kinds of data they collect make them extremely useful in the Machine-Learning (ML) space. In fact, you could say ML and PoE technologies have a symbiotic […]
If there’s a lesson to be learned from being stuck at home during COVID, and struggling to get things done at home that might have taken seconds in the office, it’s this–the agile workplace wins. Workplace agility is nothing new, but developing it has taken on a new urgency. Essential workers with the good fortune […]
Not every IP camera is Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled. If your customer’s existing security cameras aren’t PoE enabled, they will need to upgrade by using either a switch or a PoE injector for IP cameras. PoE injectors save you from using both a power cable and an Ethernet cord to power up and connect […]

In this blog Versa Technology is circling back on a previous post, Adjustable LED Lighting: Revolutionizing Workspace Design, to share insight on several developments taking place in the research of light and its effects on health and productivity. Light frequencies can be harnessed to mirror those found in nature. Researchers are finding that the right […]
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is a simple and reliable way to power security cameras. A PoE security camera system is an excellent option for home and business surveillance. There are a few essential things you should consider before you begin selecting the right IP security camera system for your needs. Let’s explore six crucial aspects […]
The term “utility” has expanded to include not only electricity (& gas), water & sewer systems and communications services, but a hybrid of data and power transmission for low voltage devices. That’s because daily life has become more connected and more reliant upon data. With the IoT, things like Alexa, smart blinds, security camera systems, […]
