What is a PoE security camera?

PoE cameras are used in homes and offices to secure both indoors and outdoors for surveillance purposes. PoE (Power over Ethernet) is the technology where a network cable carries electrical power. Normally, a digital security camera requires two connections at the time of installation – a network connection and a power connection. A network connection is required to communicate with the video recording equipment and display monitor. A power connection supplies power to the digital camera to operate it. However, a PoE enabled IP camera eliminates the requirement of a power connection; the network connection itself carries the electrical supply to operate the camera along with the digital data transmission.
