PoE Switch BCS BCS-B-SP0402 for 4 IP Cameras, 4-Port PoE Injector

BCS BCS-B-SP0402 is a compact PoE switch designed to power and connect up to four IP cameras. The device provides four PoE-enabled Ethernet ports that deliver both data and power over a single cable, making it suitable for small CCTV and IP surveillance installations. Its compact form factor and straightforward operation simplify deployment at the network edge or in indoor camera systems where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

The PoE switch combines power and data transmission on the same Ethernet cables, reducing the need for separate power supplies and additional wiring. Its four-port design supports powering multiple cameras simultaneously while maintaining a small footprint for easy placement in equipment cabinets or near camera clusters. The unit is compatible with standard PoE devices and enables quick installation and reduced setup time for small-scale surveillance projects.

Suitable for

• Small business or retail indoor surveillance systems
• Residential multi-camera CCTV setups
• Temporary or portable camera deployments where minimal cabling is needed
• Edge network points requiring centralized power for IP cameras

Key specifications

• Number of PoE ports: 4
• Port type: Ethernet (PoE-enabled)
• Form factor: compact desktop or wall-mountable unit
• Power delivery: PoE over standard Ethernet cables to connected cameras
• Intended use: indoor CCTV and IP camera systems

How to use

Install the PoE switch near your camera cluster or inside a small equipment cabinet. Connect the switch to a network source (such as a router or NVR) using a non-PoE Ethernet uplink, then run Ethernet cables from the PoE ports to each IP camera. Ensure cameras are compatible with the switch's PoE standard before powering on. After connecting cameras and network uplink, power the unit from an appropriate AC source and verify that cameras receive both power and network connectivity.

Usage recommendations

Place the unit in a ventilated, dry indoor location away from direct heat sources. Use quality Ethernet cables of appropriate category for your camera bandwidth requirements, and plan cable lengths to stay within Ethernet distance limits. Verify total power budget against connected cameras’ consumption to avoid overloading the switch.
