What Is a PoE Camera?

A PoE camera (Power over Ethernet camera) uses a single Ethernet cable to transmit both power and video. This simplifies installation and provides a stable wired connection compared to traditional security systems.

PoE cameras are widely used in Canadian homes and businesses for reliable 24/7 monitoring, long cable runs, and high-quality video recording.

What Should You Consider When Choosing a PoE Camera?

When selecting a PoE camera, consider:

- Resolution (5MP, 4K, or higher)
- Night vision performance
- Weatherproof rating (IP66/IP67)
- Smart detection features
- NVR storage capacity
- Installation distance

For outdoor use in Canada, weather resistance and reliable low-temperature performance are especially important.

Are PoE Cameras Better Than WiFi Cameras?
