How to provide Ethernet and POE to IP cameras and devices over existing coax cable?

Use Veracity’s HIGHWIRE range of Ethernet and POE over Coax products

This range of devices allows you to transfer IP signal over existing coax cable, eliminating the need to replace coax with Ethernet cable, which can save some 30-40% of the system cost. In short – turns an old legacy installation, with coax cable, into a future-proof IP network.
