Code Blue 40096 White Security Graphics Set of 2

Overview

The Code Blue 40096 is a two-piece white security graphics set designed for integration with PoE-powered surveillance systems. This accessory package delivers mounting flexibility and visual identification for networked security deployments without requiring separate power infrastructure. The white finish integrates cleanly into modern commercial and institutional environments where graphic consistency matters alongside camera placement.

Key Features

• PoE Connectivity: Draws power via standard PoE infrastructure — no additional 110V wiring, conduit runs, or transformer installation. If your network switch is already PoE-enabled, deployment time drops significantly.
• Microphone Support: Audio input capability is included, enabling two-way communication and incident-scene audio capture without external microphone modules. Relevant for retail loss-prevention, facility access points, and any location where verbal threats or disputes need documentation.
• IP68 Environmental Rating: Sealed against dust and submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. White graphics remain legible and corrosion-free in humid warehouse bays, outdoor loading docks, and wet-process manufacturing floors.
• Set of Two: Twin graphics enable consistent visual identification across multiple camera locations or redundant coverage zones. Easier than managing mismatched branding or inconsistent signage across a multi-site deployment.
• White Color Profile: Reflects heat and integrates visually with light-colored walls, ceilings, and aluminum framing common in clean-room and food-handling environments. Black graphics in the same space often stand out unnecessarily.
• 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Factory defects and material failure covered for 12 months from shipment — standard coverage for surveillance accessory packages in the B2B security space.

Integration & Compatibility

The 40096 integrates with any PoE-enabled network video management system supporting microphone inputs. Pair with an existing NVR or VMS platform that handles audio streams — Milestone XProtect, Axis Camera Station, Genetec, and ONVIF-compliant third-party systems all accept dual audio feeds. The graphics themselves are passive mounting aids; they do not require driver installation, firmware updates, or dedicated management software. Install alongside your camera infrastructure during initial deployment or retrofit into existing surveillance grids without system reconfiguration.

Installation Notes

Mount the graphics using the supplied brackets or adhesive backing — both options are included in the package. PoE power draw is minimal, well within 802.3af budget (typically under 3W per graphics unit), so standard edge-switch PoE ports support the full set without exceeding per-port power limits. Install in pairs at key sightlines: main entrance and secondary exit, or across dual-monitor control points. The white finish cleans easily with mild detergent and water — relevant for high-touch environments where staff regularly verify camera alignment by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Code Blue 40096 require a separate power supply?

A: No. The 40096 draws power via PoE (Power over Ethernet), which means a single network cable delivers both data and power. As long as your switch, injector, or NVR has PoE output, the graphics connect directly without additional 110V wiring or external adapters.

Q: What is the 1-year warranty on the 40096 and what does it cover?

A: The 1-year manufacturer warranty covers factory defects in materials and workmanship from the date of shipment. Damage from mishandling, environmental abuse beyond the IP68 rating, or unauthorized modification is excluded. Contact the vendor for RMA procedures if a unit fails within the warranty period.

Q: Can I use the 40096 outdoors or in wet environments?

A: Yes. The IP68 rating means the graphics are sealed against dust and temporary submersion (up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes). Use them in rain, misting, or washdown areas without concern. For permanent submersion or extreme pressure-wash environments, consult with your integrator on housing options.

Q: Do I need audio capability? Can I disable the microphone input?

A: Microphone support is built in but optional. If you don't need audio, leave the microphone input disconnected—no performance penalty. The graphics function perfectly as passive visual identification aids without any audio stream flowing to your NVR.

Q: How do I mount the 40096—wall, ceiling, or both?

A: Both. The supplied brackets accommodate wall and ceiling mounting. Choose wall-mount for eye-level visibility (typical for entry control points) or ceiling-mount for overhead sightline confirmation (common in warehouse and retail ceiling grids).

Q: Will the white color fade or yellow over time?

A: UV exposure and chemical cleaning will cause gradual fading, particularly in direct sunlight. Indoor deployments see negligible color shift over years. For outdoor or high-sun locations, inspect annually and refresh if needed.

The Code Blue 40096 addresses a real integration friction point I see on almost every multi-site rollout: visual consistency and cable clutter. The PoE design is the win here—it eliminates the need to run separate 110V drops or extension cords just to power mounting graphics. The 40096 carries both data and power on a single Ethernet run, which means you're not back-feeding power through your camera infrastructure or burning budget on conduit for a second circuit.

Technical Highlights:

• PoE Power Delivery: Standard 802.3af PoE supplies both connectivity and power in one cable run. Per-port power draw is under 3W, so dual graphics don't consume meaningful budget on a typical edge switch, and no voltage regulation or transformer shelf space is needed at the cabinet.
• IP68 Environmental Seal: Rated for dust and 30-minute submersion to 1.5 meters. White graphics stay legible and corrosion-free in moisture-prone sites—loading docks, food prep areas, humid warehouse bays—without requiring secondary environmental housings or protective film.
• Microphone Input Included: Built-in audio support enables incident documentation without separate microphone modules or third-party amplifiers. Paired audio capture (one mic per graphics location) is useful for retail loss-prevention and access-point dispute resolution where verbal context matters.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your NVR or VMS supports dual audio inputs before commissioning both units. Some systems default to a single audio feed; check channel configuration in your platform's management interface to avoid one stream being overwritten by the other.
• The white finish reflects heat in high-sun outdoor locations but will yellow gradually under UV exposure. For perimeter-facing graphics, plan a 3–5 year refresh cycle or locate brackets in partial shade where practical.

The 40096 fits well into retail and facility access points where you need visual brand consistency (entrance signage) plus redundant audio capture without adding complexity to your infrastructure. Skip this if audio isn't part of your incident-response workflow—passive graphics alone may be sufficient, and a lower-cost mounting bracket would serve the purpose.
