Veracity Products

Veracity makes network transmission and power equipment for IP cameras, and this page carries it: OUTREACH, LONGSPAN and HIGHWIRE extenders that take Ethernet and PoE past the usual 100m limit or over existing coax, CAMSWITCH PoE switches, OUTSOURCE PoE injectors and POINTSOURCE installer tools. Alongside sit the TIMENET Pro time server, VIEWSPAN display and video wall controllers, a LIGHTSPAN fibre converter, and the power supplies and rack trays that go with them.

Choosing Veracity Products

Choose by the cable already in place and the distance to the camera, then by how the far end is powered.

Over network cable: OUTREACH and LONGSPAN

OUTREACH units sit in line on the cable run. The VOR-ORL extends a 100Base-TX segment by 100 m per unit and is powered by PoE but does not forward it, while the VOR-ORM doubles each 100 metre segment and passes PoE to the far device. LONGSPAN works in pairs, with a base such as the VLS-1P-B at the network end. The camera-side VLS-1P-C carries 100Base-TX over Cat6 for up to about 820 m.

Over existing coax: HIGHWIRE

The VHW-HW re-uses existing 75Ω coax for a full duplex 100Base-TX link, used in pairs, for up to about 300 m on RG59 or 500 m on RG11. HIGHWIRE Powerstar camera units such as the VHW-HWPS-C also carry PoE/PoE+ over the coax from a Powerstar base, and the VHW-HWPS-C4 adds a 4-port PoE switch at the camera end.

Switches and injectors

The CAMSWITCH 4 Plus VCS-4P1 has four PoE+ outputs and can be powered by PoE or a 44-57 V DC supply, and the VCS-8P2-MOB runs from 8.5-40 V DC for vehicle and remote sites. The OUTSOURCE 90 VOR-OS-90 injects up to 90 W of 802.3bt PoE for one high-power device.

Tools, time and display

The VAD-PP Pinpoint adaptor lets a laptop view and configure a PoE camera without taking it off the network, and the VAD-PSP POINTSOURCE Plus powers a camera from a removable 12 V, 3.4 Ah battery for site surveys and demonstrations. The TIMENET Pro VTN-TN-PRO provides GPS-referenced time to IP cameras, NVRs and access control systems.
