PoE Network Switch
The DS105GP is the PoE network switch included with Liberty Security’s multi-camera wired installations. It powers up to four PoE security cameras, and any other PoE devices such as wireless access points or VoIP phones, through a single Ethernet cable per device, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each camera location. With Gigabit speeds, a 65W PoE power budget, and Extend Mode for camera runs up to 250 metres, the DS105GP is the reliable backbone of any Liberty wired camera system.
What Does a PoE Network Switch Do?
In a Liberty security installation, it connects between your network router and your PoE cameras, distributing both network data and electrical power to each camera through a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power outlets at each camera location and simplifies installation in garages, attics, and exterior locations where power access is limited. The DS105GP operates completely plug-and-play with zero configuration required, making it an ideal, reliable component in Liberty’s professional installation workflow. Its fanless design ensures silent, maintenance-free operation in equipment closets and network cabinets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Liberty’s wired PoE cameras (including the ADC-VC730P, ADC-VC8295P, ADC-VC7398PA, and ADC-VC8498PA) require both network data and electrical power to operate. A PoE switch delivers both through a single Ethernet cable to each camera — eliminating the need for a power outlet at every camera location. The DS105GP supports up to 4 PoE cameras simultaneously, making it the standard switch for Liberty residential PoE camera installations.
Yes. In a typical Liberty PoE camera installation, the DS105GP connects between your network router and the ADC-SVR210. The SVR210 has one dedicated LAN port for PoE cameras, plugging the DS105GP into that port gives you 4 PoE camera connections managed through the SVR. Your Liberty technician will configure the optimal network topology during installation.
Extend Mode allows the DS105GP to transmit PoE power and data up to 250 metres over Ethernet cable, more than double the standard 100-metre Ethernet limit. This is useful for camera installations in large properties where cameras are located far from the network equipment room, such as long driveways, rear outbuildings, or far corners of commercial properties. Note: Extend Mode reduces port speed to 10Mbps, which is still sufficient for most security camera streams.
The DS105GP has 4 PoE ports with a combined power budget of 65W. The number of cameras it can power simultaneously depends on each camera’s power draw. For example: four ADC-VC730P spotlight cameras at approximately 12W each would total 48W — well within the 65W budget. Higher-power cameras like the ADC-VC7398PA may draw up to 12.4W with IR active. Liberty’s technicians calculate the power budget during system design to ensure all cameras are fully supported.
