Details
The Powerstar Base is a rack mountable or standalone solution which can deliver a maximum of 25W POW on each of the 8 coax channels by using an external PSU.
It becomes an ideal replacement for 4-channel codecs to allow use of IP-based, high definition cameras. The unit also incorporates SafeView™, a row of detailed LEDs which can be found on the end panel providing immediate information about the status of your connection.
Can be used in conjunction with Veracity's following lines: HIGHWIRE Powerstar Camera, Duo or Quad.
A true Plug-and-Play solution for connecting and powering IP cameras over legacy coaxial cabling. The HIGHWIRE Powerstar product family offers reliable power delivery and long-range extension even over low-grade coaxial cable and now enables direct replacement of existing analogue video encoders to allow cost-effective upgrade to IP cameras.
In the diagram above, the legacy analogue encoder is replaced by a HIGHWIRE Base 8 unit and the coax cables are connected to eight separate single-channel HIGHWIRE Powerstar Camera adapters. Note that Duo and Quad camera adapters are also available. The low resolution, locally powered analogue cameras are replaced by high-resolution POE powered IP cameras. A Gigabit Ethernet uplink connection on the HIGHWIRE Base 8 ensures there is no network bandwidth limit on available image quality and resolution.
As soon as the power is supplied to the Base 8 unit, a connection is established automatically with the Camera Units, the IP cameras are powered up and the camera IP address will be available on the network. The HIGHWIRE units require no configuration, do not require IP address settings and are completely transparent to the network.
There are two PSU options available for the HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 unit. They are 57V DC to provide the maximum power and distance possible within the POE standard (IEEE 802.8af and 802.3at). The options provide 40W or 80W. The 40W unit provides 10W per channel over the coax on the Base 4 unit, whihc is sufficient for most static IP Cameras. The 80W provides up to 20W per channel on the Base 4 unit.
| Location | POE LED | Function | Green | Orange | Red |
| A | Coax Link Activity | Coax data connection |
Blink = No link to camera On = 100Base-TX to camera Flash = 100Base-TX Activity |
Blink = 10Base-T link to camera Flash = 10Base-T activity |
On = Data rate <100% Cable distance at limit |
| B | Coax POE (power) | POE over coax status | On = Device detected |
On = Approaching power limit Flash = Short circuit. Check for cable faults or incompatible equipment |
On = Power limit reached Flash = POE discontinued due to overload |
| Ethernet LED | Function |
| C - RJ45 Yellow |
On = Link Blink = Activity |
