The Geovision 84-POE1601-001U (model GV-POE1601) is a 16-port managed PoE+ switch purpose-built for mid-to-large IP security camera installations. It delivers 250W of total PoE+ power across 16 ports using 802.3at, meaning each port can supply up to 30W — enough to run cameras, readers, intercoms, and other networked devices without a separate power infrastructure. The 250W budget is the denominator: if you're deploying 16 cameras at 12–15W each, you have headroom; if you're pushing toward 30W per port, you're consuming the full allocation. This is the right switch when you want PoE power delivery and managed network control in one appliance rather than daisy-chaining standalone PoE injectors.
The 84-POE1601-001U works with any PoE-compatible IP camera, access reader, or networked device that draws power via 802.3af or 802.3at (PoE or PoE+). It is natively integrated with Geovision camera systems and their management platform but also supports third-party ONVIF-compliant cameras from Axis, Hikvision, Uniview, Hanwha, and similar vendors. Verify your specific camera models draw ≤30W per port; cameras exceeding that threshold require PoE++ (802.3bt) hardware, which this model does not provide. The two gigabit uplink ports (copper or SFP combo) connect to your core network switch or NVR — use either the RJ-45 copper uplink or the SFP slot depending on your upstream infrastructure.
Mount the 84-POE1601-001U in a climate-controlled equipment rack or network cabinet near your camera installation. Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling from each camera run to a PoE port; the switch provides both data and power over the same cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each endpoint. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit — 250W dissipates as heat, particularly in warm ambient environments or when all ports are loaded. Verify your upstream switch or router can handle the data throughput from 16 simultaneous 1080p or higher streams if you are also recording centrally.
