AXIS TU8012 120 W DC Connectivity Midspan, 03706-001
Description
AXIS TU8012 120 W DC Connectivity Midspan
The AXIS TU8012 is a 120 W PoE midspan with a 24-48 V DC input that adds two-way audio and I/O connectivity to Axis PTZ cameras. It suits installations where DC power is already available in the field and the devices need more power than a standard midspan supplies. With portcast technology it uses the camera IP address to provide audio and I/O in the same stream as the video, and its SFP slot supports long-distance and fiber installations. The midspan needs a separate DC source.

Why Use a DC Connectivity Midspan
- DC input: runs from 24-48 V DC, so it fits sites that already have DC power.
- Smart restart: the midspan checks the camera status regularly and restarts the camera if there is no response within fifteen minutes.
- Audio and I/O: supports digital and unbalanced microphones, with remote on/off through I/O to save power.
- SFP slot for long-distance and fiber installations.
