CCTV Security Pros Blog: Why PoE Cameras Are the Best – CCTV Security Pros
Professional-grade performance, simple installs, no monthly fees — backed by CCTV Security Pros’ lifetime USA support.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) security cameras deliver power and data through a single cable — giving you crystal-clear video, rock-solid reliability, and easier installation than traditional setups or Wi-Fi-only cameras. With commercial-grade hardware, smart AI features, and local recording, PoE is the pro choice for homes and businesses that refuse to compromise.
At CCTV Security Pros, we’ve helped tens of thousands of customers deploy reliable, NDAA-compliant PoE systems — with no monthly fees, a 3-year warranty, and lifetime USA support.
Why PoE Cameras Are the Best
- Simplified Installation: One Ethernet cable carries power + data. Fewer parts, faster installs, cleaner results.
- Rock-Solid Reliability: Hard-wired stability with 24/7 recording — no Wi-Fi drops or lag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are PoE cameras better than wireless cameras?
Yes. PoE cameras are hard-wired, so you get consistent bandwidth, fewer dropped frames, and dependable 24/7 recording. Wireless can be convenient, but PoE is the professional standard for long-term security.
Do PoE cameras need the internet?
No. Cameras record locally to the NVR. Internet is only required for remote viewing (iOS/Android/PC) and optional alerts.
How many PoE cameras can I add to a system?
Our PoE NVRs and kits scale from 2 to 64 channels. You can expand as your coverage needs grow.
Do PoE cameras work during a power outage?
If your NVR/PoE switch is on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), the system continues recording during short outages.

Russell Aguilar
I’ve been a customer for over a decade and very happy with the quality and reliability. Fast delivery and most definitely top-notch commercial grade equipment. Support team is knowledgeable and patient. I would absolutely recommend this company.
Angela Smith
I can’t say enough about their tech support! Tim from support was so patient and more than willing to help. We have several CCTV systems and won’t buy anything else, solely due to their support! Won’t find anything else like it.
Thomas Tanner
Purchased their 8 camera 4K bullet system and added 2 fisheyes. All hardwired. The equipment is super easy to hook up. Everything is literally plug and play. Picture quality is superb! The cameras show good detail and great color images even at night.
Rob McCormick
Called to inquire about a 24 camera system for our church and got exactly what we needed. The wide angle cameras helped us to cover the entire property. Installation was a breeze and everyone is always amazed by the exceptional image quality. Set it up to view on my phone within 15 minutes. Works flawlessly. Highly recommend for top quality and great support.
Tom Hampton
Bought a system from CCTV. Easy to install. After a few weeks realized I needed some extras cameras. I went back in to order more. The ones I click on and purchased were not compatible with my system. A live person from CCTV called and emailed about the problem. With their help we got the right cameras shipped. Most companies I have dealt with would have shipped the order even though it was the wrong item. I appreciate the customer service CCTV has provided. Would recommend to any and all in need of their product.
Michael Fredrick
Recently ordered your top featured system and received it within a few days. I am so impressed with how technology has improved. With my past systems, I used to receive so many false positive motion notifications. I really love the new smart motion alerts since it focuses specifically on humans and vehicles. I will say it has been a huge time saver. Well done!
Linda Arbuckle
Excellent. Spent extra time explaining how each of our needs would be met by the system they put together for us. Extremely professional and understanding when we had to call once we received our items. Highly recommend them to others.
