What are the solutions for ip camera that are far away the poe switch like 1km or more .
There's no power source near the camera.

Solutions For 1 Km+ PoE Power
Brian Rhodes
Nov 07, 2016In the past, I've seen PoE/Fiber like Berk-Tek OneReach used. It essentially uses a siamese type copper pair slung under fiber to go a max of 1.17km.

Nov 07, 2016Solar and wireless. By the time you trench for a buried cable solution you probably could have paid for solar and wireless many times over.

Nov 08, 2016That's a good point. In many regions, trenching and conduit (if not existing) can be more expensive than a panel and battery set for sure. Maybe the OP can describe the location better to help look at possible options.
Solar specification isn't a casual task. See: Solar Surveillance Guide for more detail.

Nov 08, 2016How do City Surveillance solutions work ?
How do these IPC receive Power ? Are Solar installed @ each IPC ?

Nov 08, 2016Typically city surveillance projects gain power from the street light pole for which the equipment is mounted on. As for data this can be a mix of wireless and fiber/copper mediums.
Some questions to ask yourself for this application:
1. Is wireless possible? Line of sight or non line of sight?
2. Based off of question #1 it would dictate the use of wireless or instead go with a fiber connection for that distance.
3. For reliability sake, There probably is no way to avoid providing power at the camera location for the distance you need.
To me it would really all depend on the type of data transmission to use. If wireless is not possible then trenching is inevitable. Either way you still need solar in my opinion or provide high voltage power for the entire distance if trenching

Nov 08, 2016Typically camera power is supplied via transformed light or other pole/utility power.
Surveillance Cameras on Light Poles Tutorial goes into details about this arrangement.
