The Lysora LCS-16GS-P is a high-capacity, cloud-managed Layer 2 Gigabit PoE switch engineered to serve as the reliable backbone for medium-to-large commercial deployments. Designed to handle the rigorous demands of extensive IP surveillance networks, commercial Wi-Fi rollouts, and VoIP phone systems, it features 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports fully equipped with 802.3at PoE+ power delivery. Backed by a heavy-duty 250W total power budget, this switch effortlessly provides centralized power and high-speed data to dozens of devices simultaneously, eliminating the need for scattered AC adapters and midspan injectors. To link this heavy edge traffic back to your core network or primary NVR, it is outfitted with 2 Gigabit SFP ports for secure, long-range fiber optic uplinks. Fully integrated with the Lysora Cloud Portal, the LCS-16GS-P empowers system integrators with deep network visibility, allowing for off-site VLAN configuration, real-time power monitoring, and remote device reboots.
Type of Installation
The Lysora LCS-16GS-P is a standard 1U rackmount switch. Encased in a rugged metal chassis, it includes heavy-duty rack-mounting brackets and hardware, allowing it to be easily secured into any standard 19-inch equipment rack or network enclosure in a server room or IT closet.
Key Installation Benefits
-
Optimized for 16-Channel Surveillance: With exactly 16 dedicated PoE+ ports, this switch aligns perfectly with the industry-standard 16-camera deployment size. The massive 250W power budget ensures it can support a heavy mix of standard fixed-dome IP cameras and higher-draw motorized PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras without failing.
-
Long-Distance Fiber Uplinks: The 2 Gigabit SFP ports provide essential flexibility for expansive commercial properties. Installers can run fiber optic cable from this edge switch all the way back to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) thousands of feet away, bypassing the strict 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet.
-
Remote Power Troubleshooting: Utilizing the Lysora Cloud App, technicians have full visibility into the real-time power consumption of each individual port. If a camera or Wi-Fi access point locks up, the installer can remotely toggle the PoE power to hard-reboot the specific device, saving the time and expense of rolling a service truck.
-
Network Security & Segmentation: Built-in Layer 2 features allow network engineers to easily deploy VLANs. This isolates sensitive surveillance video traffic and access control data from standard employee internet traffic, drastically improving overall network efficiency and cybersecurity.
