IMAGINATION INNOVATION INTEGRATION DATASHEET

PORTABLE BATTERY POWERED POE injEcTOR

Install, configure, focus & align IP cameras

even without available network or POE

POINTSOURCE ™ is a rechargeable, portable battery-powered POE injector
for IP cameras specifically designed to make installation, site surveys, testing
and demonstration work simple and fast.

Allows local viewing of IP camera images on laptop/netbook close to camera

Enables rapid and precise adjustment of lens focus and viewing angle

Includes a 12 volt power output for auxiliary equipment

Battery capacity sufficient for typical full day’s installation work

POINTSOURCE supports all classes of 802.3af POE device

Installs in seconds – removes in seconds - reduces time on site

Portable POE battery pack for
installation site work, site surveys
and demonstrations

POINTSOURCE is ideal for powering POE IP cameras in-situ, when in-line
POE is not yet available. The shoulder-strap makes it easy to carry.

Portable, rechargeable,
power where you need it

Veracity’s POINTSOURCE is a portable,

rechargeable battery - powered POE

(Power over Ethernet) injector. It is

designed for field use, being compact

and easy to handle, with a useful shoulder

strap, which leaves your hands free.

It can deliver enough power to support

a full day’s IP camera installation work.

POINTSOURCE provides a similar

functionality to Veracity’s PINPOINT, but

includes a built-in POE power source

to allow installation and set-up of IP

cameras before POE power is available

through the network.

POINTSOURCE can be used with all IEEE

802.3af POE compatible equipment,

including IP cameras, Wireless Access

Points, VOIP phones and POE-powered

Access Control devices.

On Site configuration

The primary application for

POINTSOURCE

is the in-situ configuration, set-up and

fine adjustment of IP cameras on an

installation site. By connecting a laptop

or netbook to the IP camera through

POINTSOURCE, all aspects of the camera

image (focus, direction, aperture, zoom,

resolution, compression etc.) can easily

be viewed or adjusted.

Site surveys and
pre-installation trials

POINTSOURCE allows the rapid set-

up of an IP camera during site-surveys,

allowing the integrator to capture

snapshots or video clips of the actual

on-site scenes for presentation to the

prospective end-user. This is an effective

example of when a “picture paints a

thousand words”.

Customer
demonstrations can
be done anywhere

Any new IP camera can very quickly be

demonstrated to a client or consultant

using just the camera, a laptop and the

POINTSOURCE package. No external

power or additional cabling is required,

allowing demonstrations to be done

anywhere, from a café tabletop to a

desert road.

Mobile and temporary
installations

A POINTSOURCE and IP camera with

SD-card slot are all that’s required for

a very compact and easily transported

temporary surveillance recording system.

What is included in the
POINTSOURCE package?

The POINTSOURCE package includes the POINTSOURCE unit and battery
(fitted), a shoulder strap, universal charger, red network patch cable, blue
network patch cable and operating instructions.

POINTSOURCE complies with universal

IEEE 802.3af POE standard, and can

deliver up to 15.4 watts of POE power,

while simultaneously powering other

12V DC accessories as required.

Integrated network crossover ports

allow the direct connection of a laptop or

netbook PC (as in Diagram 1 overleaf).

Auxiliary Output

The 12V DC auxiliary output may be

used for accessories such as monitors

or meters, or other 12V devices, and

may be used at the same time or

independently of the POE output.

LED Indicators

Three green LEDs provide an indication

of remaining battery life. A red LED

indicates when POE is being delivered

to a compatible device connected to the

DATA port. If an incompatible device is

connected (or needs too much power) then

the red LED will flash indicating the problem.

Battery Life

POINTSOURCE has a battery life of 3

to 5 years, or 200 - 1000 cycles

depending upon discharge depth and

operating temperature. A replacement

battery service may be available. Please

contact Veracity for further details.

The POINTSOURCE package includes the POINTSOURCE unit and battery (fitted), a
shoulder strap, universal charger (UK, US, EU and AU plugs), red network patch cable,
blue network patch cable and operating instructions.
