Powerline vs Power-over-Ethernet

Powerline allows you to connect your camera to your local network over the power grid. The camera still needs to be powered by the included power supply. Power-over-Ethernet combines both the network as well as the power supply in a regular Ethernet cable. You only need a PoE Injector or PoE SWITCH to add the voltage to the Ethernet cable.

What is the difference between IN-LAN 500 & IN-LAN 500p?

The P in IN-LAN 500p stands for pass-through. Unlike the base model the 500p will block your power outlet but pass through the existing one. Both models offer the same advantages otherwise:

  • Use existing power lines to implement a network with IN-LAN.
  • Very simple plug&play technology. Just plug into the wall socket and you're done.
  • Ultra-fast data transfer up to 500Mbps.
  • Expand your network with for e.g. IP cameras without laying network cables.
  • A very detailed instruction will make the installation very easy.
