Campus Security Camera System Upgrade

Using 1 Underground Coaxial Cable to Supply 3 PoE Cameras Including Speed Dome

‍

Replacing Old HD Cameras

Chung Shan Medical University (CSMU) was changing its outdoor HD cameras to PoE cameras on the campus and speed dome cameras on the main lanes. The speed dome cameras with automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology help with vehicle management on the campus.

The installation area is about 3-4 hectares, with two server rooms where NVRs are placed and one outdoor junction box.

Challenges and Limitations

The Old Coaxial Cable and More New Cameras

While CSMU changed their HD camera to PoE, the original coaxial cables remain since replacing them with ethernet cables would be costly. On the other hand, more cameras are added to each spot, but it is also hard to connect more cables due to the limit of the existing cable tube. Consequently, they adopted Ethernet over Coax (EoC) technology and one-to-multiple extenders to transmit signals from multiple PoE cameras.

‍

Power Supply

CSMU needs 78 PoE cameras and 12 speed-dome cameras, which require a certain amount of power supply. As the outdoor power supply is limited, they have to send power directly from the server room and junction box.

‍

Long-Range Transmission

A long-range transmission is required for a 3 hectares area. In this case, it is 150m.

SC&T Ethernet over Coax Solution

1-In-4-Out Power over Coax Extender

IP09CPHK is a 1-in-4-out PoE extender kit that can transmit Ethernet/IP over coaxial cables with 100Mbps bandwidth. It can thus utilize the existing coaxial cables and send power from the receiver in the server room and the junction box.

‍

44W High Power Supply

SC&T's PoC extenders can afford the bandwidth and power for both PoE and speed dome cameras.

• PoE cameras: 1 - 2.5Mbps bandwidth and 9.6W power supply.
• Speed dome cameras: 2.5Mbps bandwidth and 25W power supply.

With IP09CPR connected to a 48V adapter in the junction box, IP09CPHK can supply 44W power over the current RG6U coaxial cable for 200m. This power can afford 4 PoE cameras or a speed dome and 2 PoE cameras.

‍

The Junction Box for Extension and Power Supply

For longer transmission, adapters in the junction box add power to transmit signals back to the server room. IP09PH can transmit signals from 4 PoE cameras to IP09CPR in the junction box; with the 48V adapters inside, signals are transmitted over the switch to the NVRs in the server room. In this case, 6 IP09CPHKs are applied to connect up to 24 PoE cameras.

‍

Transmission to the Server Room

PoE cameras within 100m are directly connected to the server room via IP09CPHK.
