Elmdene have introduced two additional PSU devices: the PoE PowerPod™ and MiniPod™. When used together, the two devices offer an all in one battery backed power solution for PoE systems and their recording equipment.
As PoE devices become more critical within a security system with added features such as detection analytics, it is paramount to have standby power in the event of a mains failure either from a malicious or a natural occurrence. Currently it is common for a PoE installation to have either no provision for standby power or for a standard ‘off the shelf’ inline UPS to be used which may result in no recording or very minimal back up times.
Elmdene’s PoE PowerPod™ and MiniPod™ offer a simple, cost effective solution providing extended backup times, of approximately 4-hours, to the critical devices and NVR.
PoE PowerPod™: A PSU powered by 230V ac, providing 8 channels of compliant PoE+ as well as a data connection & power to an NVR (230V ac UK socket provided). On an input power failure the 230V ac output and Ethernet switch remain backed up for approximately 4-hours by the PowerPod™, allowing data to be continually recorded, without any losses from critical devices out in the field, which are automatically backed up by local PoE MiniPod’s™.
PoE PowerPod-RM™: A 19” rack mount version of the above, offering the same functionality but housed within a high quality 4U rack, which includes space for the two 12V standby batteries.
PoE MiniPod™: Compliant PoE PSU powered by a single PoE+ signal from the PowerPod™. From this single PoE input it charges a 12V 7Ah battery, whilst also providing a PoE+ output, of up to 14 W, to the powered device. Housed within an IP66 enclosure it is provided with a lockable hinged lid and also two IP67 RJ45 cable glands for simple plug in connections.
The PoE PowerPod™ and MiniPod™ devices will be available from December 2016.
