Use a PoE Switch with outdoor gateways to increase the power and number of ports for downstream devices
You can use a PoE switch with the outdoor gateway to increase power and/or the number of ports available to downstream devices, such as Verkada cameras. We recommend following this topology:
In this topology, the customer-provided PoE switch supplies power to the gateway’s PoE In port and receives data from the same port. To enable this setup, you need to change the PoE In port configuration to LAN.
Change PoE In port configuration to LAN
This configuration is only available on outdoor gateways.
1
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Gateways.
2
Select the gateway you want to configure.
