Proven Technology

Veracity's HIGHWIRE technology has been proven in tens of thousands of installations over many years delivering high-reliability full 100Base-TX Ethernet in all conditions. This offers consistent predictable IP video network performance even with today's high resolution HD and 4K IP cameras delivering a full speed over 300m of RG59 cable and 500m over RG11.

Multi-Channel Rack Mount Unit

Base 8 integrates eight HIGHWIRE channels and a gigabit switch into a single unit. It is specifically designed to allow rack-mounting of up to four units in 1U giving 32 channels per U. Veracity's unique 57V rack-mounted POE power supply accessory can be mounted in the same 1U.

Cost-effective Network Connection

The integration of a Gigabit switch reduces the number of main switch ports required to connect many IP video cameras. Thus each HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 unit requires only one main switch port or 4 network ports for 32 channels. Each Base 8 unit also has a rear mounted SFP socket for an optional SFP fibre Ethernet module.

Base and Camera Units

In the diagram below the HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 unit is connected to 8 legacy coaxial cable links. At the camera ends there are single-channel HIGHWIRE Powerstar Camera units connected to each link. The original analogue cameras are replaced by new IP cameras which are connected to HIGHWIRE Camera units. The Base 8 unit is powered by a Veracity 57V PSU and power is delivered up the coax to power the HIGHWIRE Camera units which in turn power the IP cameras.

Simple Installation

With no need to configure IP addresses set DIP switches or pair units installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar is straightforward. As soon as power is applied the IP cameras will power up and their IP addresses will become available on the network. The zero configuration HIGHWIRE units are completely network transparent.

Multiple Channels per Coax

HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 is compatible with Veracity's Powerstar Duo and Quad Camera units connecting multiple IP cameras over a single coax. For example an obsolete analogue PTZ camera could be replaced by four low-cost static IP cameras using a Powerstar Quad unit.
