The patent-pending, Viewmate model Vi0020 PoE camera setup tool works with both CCTV and IT systems compliant in operations under 802.3 af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards and is said to raise the bar over available competing products with cost effectiveness and ease of use.

The Viewmate is compact, easy to use and improves productivity by streamlining IP surveillance camera installation. It features a 2-digit PoE voltmeter, providing an accurate measurement of actual voltage delivered to the camera. Using the Vi0020 allows installers and repair personnel to immediate determine trouble spots and affect repairs.

When connected, Viewmate passes power from the PoE midspan at the control room to the remote IP surveillance camera and provides a direct network connection from the remote IP camera to a local laptop to complete the installation.

“With ever increasing costs for field service and installation, the Vi0020’s simple operation can help to quickly pinpoint problem areas or as an inline monitoring device help in preventing problems before they occur. As a leader in extended transmission systems Vigitron continues to provide test and measure products that decrease installation costs and provide system monitoring to prevent problems before they happen” said Neil Heller – VP Business Development.
