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, […]
IP cameras are in wide use for improving security through remote monitoring of public and private places and institutions. The “Power over Ethernet” (PoE) feature defined by the IEEE standards 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt helps reduce wire clutter by powering the IP cameras from the Cat5 or Cat6 cables that already provide data traffic. When […]
