Why disable certain POE ports on your recorder?
Disabling a PoE port can be useful in a few situations:
- Remotely turn off the power to a camera to restart or turn it off
- Limit unwanted connections on an unused port, in addition to network security measures.
- Facilitate troubleshooting, by isolating a suspicious device or cable.
- Avoid powering a device that is not intended for PoE, especially if you are using this port to connect equipment with uncertain cabling or PoE compatibility.
- Reduce power consumption if the port is not in use – the gain is usually low, as the port normally only provides the power requested by the device.
However, disabling a port does not necessarily turn it into a standard network port: it may remain assigned to the cameras' internal network, or it may be unusable for connecting a switch.

On the GUI side :
Configuration menu, then System and PoE settings :
On the WEB interface side:
