PoE power budget
It is important when installing IP cameras to calculate the total power consumption
required so that it is less than the power budget of the NVR switches. The NVR lets you
easily track on-screen the current and remaining power consumption for all cameras
directly connected to its switches. See Figure 13 below.
Figure 13: PoE power budget information on IP cameras
1. Select the PoE type required for each camera.
2. Dynamic tracking of the current PoE power consumption (blue), unallocated PoE power (white), and
remaining allocated PoE power budget (green) shown.
The IP cameras will specify which type of PoE they require. You can set up each
camera individually for no PoE, PoE-at, PoE-af, or 15 W. A PoE port can support up to
30 W maximum.
The NVR has a maximum of eight PoE ports, depending on the model. The total PoE
power budget for the 4-channel NVR is 50 W, and that for the 8 and 16-channel NVRs
is 120 W.
The PoE-af port can support between 0 and 15.4 W and the PoE-at port can support
between 0 and 30 W. See Table 6 below for a description of the maximum number of
IP cameras that can be connected depending on the PoE type used.
