Tag: G-Series PoE
If you run in to an issue on a G-series where the Data and Management Ports show a MAC address of 02-00-00-00-00-00 you will need to reimage the NVR with the latest Linux Image RETAIL1804-21.03.4.zip Added: May 11, 2021 or newer.

Additional Documentation
Other information
This machine should be troubleshot similar to any machine with the standard exacqVision Linux image.
The Power Supplies between the different versions are NOT interchangeable.
The 16 Port includes OS-on-SSD, the 4 and 8 Port do not.
Both graphics connections can be used simultaneously. If 2 monitors are connected, the 2nd is automatically configured for Extended Desktop.

ExacqVision G-Series PoE and Una recorders provide Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports for direct connections to cameras, rather than accessing cameras through a switched network.
The TIA/EIA 568 standard provide that the maximum allowable length of a Cat5/5e or Cat6 cable is 100 meters (328 feet) for ethernet networks. To connect a camera farther than 100m away, the network connection must be extended using a method other than a network switch.
The following information explains the trade-offs of using various extender/repeater, midspan and injector technologies to extend the network.
PoE and PoE+ Injectors and Midspans
Advantages:
- Extends the network segment over 100m
- Provides additional PoE power, reducing the PoE power drawn from the recorder; useful when the combined power draw of all cameras would exceed system limits:
- 8-port G-Series PoE, Gen2 – 15 watts per port; 120 watts total
- 16-port G-Series PoE, Gen2 – 15 watts per port; 240 watts total
- 4-port G-Series PoE, Gen1 – 15 watts per port; 60 watts total
- 8-port G-Series PoE, Gen1 – 15 watts per port; 120 watts total
- 16-port G-Series PoE, Gen1 – 15 watts per port; 240 watts total
- 8-port Una – 25 watts per port; 120 watts total
- 16-port Una – 25 watts per port; 240 watts total
Disadvantage:
- Recorder cannot power cycle cameras that are receiving PoE power from the injector or midspan.
PoE and PoE+ Extenders/Repeaters
Advantages:
- Extends the network segment over 100m
- Powered by recorder PoE power; does not require a separate power supply.
- Cameras can still be rebooted from the ExacqVision Desktop Client PoE port management page.
Disadvantage:
- A small amount of PoE power from recorder is consumed by the in-line extender, reducing power available to the camera.
Exacq Technologies does not test or make specific recommendations for products to extend ethernet networking.
