The Alibi PoE allows you to split the power from the Category 5 cable so you can power your audio mic as well as the camera at the same time to simplify cabling needs. The splitter is compact and lightweight requiring no configuration setting. It is designed for easy deployment, and can be hooked up by simply plugging it into a compatible device. This PoE adapter supports 12 Vdc output, allowing you to use it with a variety of devices that do not natively support PoE power input.
