Four 8-channel Base units provide 32 IP channels in 1U, with space for an optional IU power supply and up to 25W POE per channel
Proven Technology
Veracity's HIGHWIRE technology has been proven in tens of thousands of installations over many years, delivering high-reliability full 100Base-TX Ethernet in all conditions. This offers consistent, predictable, IP video network performance even with today's high resolution HD and 4K IP cameras, delivering a full speed over 300m of RG59 cable, and 500m over RG11.
Multi-Channel Rack Mount Unit
Base 8 integrates eight HIGHWIRE channels and a gigabit switch into a single unit. It is specifically designed to allow rack-mounting of up to four units in 1U, giving 32 channels per U. Veracity's unique 57V rack-mounted POE power supply accessory can be mounted in the same 1U.
Cost-effective Network Connection
The integration of a Gigabit switch reduces the number of main switch ports required to connect many IP video cameras. Thus each HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 unit requires only one main switch port, or 4 network ports for 32 channels. Each Base 8 unit also has a rear mounted SFP socket for an optional SFP fibre Ethernet module.
Base and Camera Units
In the diagram below, the HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 unit is connected to 8 legacy coaxial cable links. At the camera ends, there are single-channel HIGHWIRE Powerstar Camera units connected to each link. The original analogue cameras are replaced by new IP cameras which are connected to HIGHWIRE Camera units. The Base 8 unit is powered by a Veracity 57V PSU and power is delivered up the coax to power the HIGHWIRE Camera units which, in turn, power the IP cameras.
Simple Installation
With no need to configure IP addresses, set DIP switches, or pair units, installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar is straightforward. As soon as power is applied, the IP cameras will power up and their IP addresses will become available on the network. The zero configuration HIGHWIRE units are completely network transparent.
Multiple Channels per Coax
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 8 is compatible with Veracity's Powerstar Duo and Quad Camera units, connecting multiple IP cameras over a single coax. For example, an obsolete analogue PTZ camera could be replaced by four low-cost static IP cameras using a Powerstar Quad unit.

Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo Unit - 2 x Network (RJ-45) - 1640.42 ft Extended Range
Connect 2 IP cameras with HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo over an existing coax cable
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo makes the most of your legacy cabling and multiplies its capability by connecting two IP cameras or other network devices
Ethernet over Coax
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo's unique ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery enables long range Ethernet over coax. It works even over the lowest grade cable, such as the high-resistance, copper-clad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations. This means that legacy coax upgrades can be planned with confidence, while a quick check of the Safeview™ power level display reaffirms that the device connections will continue to be reliable, whatever the cable used.
For predictable network operation with no restrictions, HIGHWIRE technology delivers a full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth at 300m (1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m (1600 ft) of RG-11 coax. For full information on POE-over-Coax™ distances achievable, please refer to the Range Table in the HIGHWIRE Powerstar datasheet. For POE power budget and power supply options, see the POE Power Budget Table opposite.HIGHWIRE Powerstar DUO
The DUO variant of HIGHWIRE is designed for the camera end of the coax and, with an integrated two-port POE switch, enables connection of two IP cameras over a single coax. With no need to configure IP addresses, set DIP switches, or make awkward measurements and calculations, installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo is simple. The Base end of the coax is driven by single-channel, 4-channel or 8-channel HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base unit. The DUO unit can be powered either by POE over coax, delivering a maximum total POE power budget of 25 watts, or by one of the optional local PSUs, delivering 40 or 78 watts.HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo features
Veracity's unique Safeview™ display, to provide IP camera installers with an instant and very easy-to-understand confirmation of correct operation from either end of the cable.POE over Coax or Local Power
Learn More
In the simplest implementation the BASE unit receives power from a standard POE switch or Veracity's 57V DC PSU and transmits POE over the coax. This is shown in the diagram below. The DUO unit receives this power and delivers up to 25 watts shared between two IP cameras. No external power cabling is required, and all detection and setup occurs automatically. For higher POE power budgets, an optional Veracity 57V DC PSU may be used to power the DUO locally at the camera end delivering 40 watts or 78 watts depending on PSU model. See POE budget table for details.$335.23 -

LINKLOCK™ provides a secure barrier to unauthorised access to your network
Learn More
LINKLOCK™ detects any disconnection/reconnection or tampering with any part of the cabling between the Base unit and the IP camera or other POE device.
When Is LINKLOCK Required ?
Any externally mounted IP cameras potentially leave an exposed network connection which could be used by attackers to access the rest of the network - to disable the surveillance system for example. This may also expose the corporate network as this is often bridged to the surveillance network. LINKLOCK prevents such attacks by completely disconnecting power and data for that channel whenever it detects a cable disconnection or reconnection or even any tampering such as "tapping in" to the coax or network cables.
How Does LINKLOCK Work ?
LINKLOCK works by constantly monitoring the POE power connection and data transmissions. It can detect even subtle changes or interruptions in the data transmission characteristics which will trigger disconnection and alarm, whilst remaining extremely robust against false alarms. Once triggered and disconnected, the channel can be re-established via the reset pins after suitable action is taken to determine the cause of the alarm (i.e. a possible attacker).
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base LINKLOCK Option
LINKLOCK™ is available as an option on Veracity's HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 and Base 8 models of Ethernet and POE over coax adaptors. The Base unit accepts external power via a POE switch or a DC power supply. It sends power over the coax link to the Camera unit. The camera unit in turn provides POE (Power-overEthernet) to the IP camera. See HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 or Base 8 datasheets for full information on HIGHWIRE.
LINKLOCK provides
protection to both the coaxial cable and the Ethernet cable connecting the IP camera to the HIGHWIRE Camera unit (sections A and B in the diagram opposite). LINKLOCK disconnection (blocking mode) is triggered when: The coaxial cable A is disconnected The Ethernet cable B is disconnected The coaxial cable A is disrupted The Ethernet cable B is disrupted Note that having a secure or encrypted link over the coax alone does not prevent intrusion as the Ethernet link to the camera would still be open and unsecured without LINKLOCK.
When blocking mode is enabled, all external equipment is immediately isolated from the internal LAN. The internally-located HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 or 8 unit will : Remove POE Power from the coaxial cable (this disconnects and switches off the HIGHWIRE Camera unit and IP camera). Completely disable its coaxial network interface for the triggered channel only. Close the alarm relay contact and indicate the alarm channel with a red LED.$645.60
