I have a few Gen 2 wired stickup cams. I’m trying to move them to PoE to help remove some unsightly wires. I’m going to be using a PoE switch (not the adapter), but I can’t find much in terms of power usage/power budget for the camera. Does anyone know what the PoE class is on them? (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, etc., not 802.3af, etc.)
Thanks in advance!
Hi there, @boomtown! While we do not have information on PoE Class, PoE can be used with any Ring devices that are PoE-enabled such as the Ring Stick Up Cam Wired. All current and future Ring products with PoE capability are engineered to IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. If you can connect your network cables, you should have no difficulty connecting your device to a PoE-producing switch or router and having it draw power. Remember to use Cat5 cable or higher.
