AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit

The AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit is engineered to simplify upgrading from analog surveillance to IP, without the disruptive, costly rewiring that a full network overhaul often requires. By leveraging your existing coax cabling, this compact kit delivers Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) data and power to compatible Axis IP cameras, enabling high-quality HD imaging, advanced analytics, and centralized monitoring with minimal installation downtime. Its ultra-compact form factor is designed to tuck neatly into back boxes and housings, making it ideal for tight spaces, small rooms, or retrofit projects where space is at a premium. If you’re ready to migrate to IP and you want a cost-effective, low-risk solution, the AXIS T8645 offers a straightforward migration path that preserves your current cabling assets while unlocking modern surveillance capabilities.

  • Reuse coax cables for a cost-effective IP migration. This kit enables PoE+ and IP data transmission over existing coax infrastructure, dramatically lowering installation costs and reducing disruption. By leveraging what you already have, you can upgrade to IP cameras and modern analytics without the expense and downtime of rewiring every camera run. It’s an efficient bridge between legacy analog setups and a scalable IP-based security solution.
  • Compact adapter design that fits behind back boxes and in tight spaces. The small footprint of the T8645 makes installation unobtrusive, allowing you to position the adaptor inside standard electrical back boxes or compact housings. This clean, low-profile approach keeps wiring neat and out of sight, preserving the aesthetics of retail spaces, offices, schools, and residential environments while ensuring reliable camera placement.
  • Easy integration for analog-to-IP upgrades. The kit provides a simple upgrade path for existing cameras and cabling. With minimal hardware changes, you can transition to IP cameras that offer sharper imagery, richer metadata, and smarter video analytics. The result is enhanced security coverage and centralized management without the typical headaches of a full system overhaul.
  • Reliable PoE+ delivery with streamlined power and data transfer. PoE+ enables higher power delivery to compatible cameras, supporting advanced features such as high-resolution imaging, LED illumination, and analytics-enabled devices. The compact kit ensures stable power and data delivery over coax, reducing the risk of jitter or dropouts and helping you maintain consistent, dependable surveillance performance.
  • Ideal for small installations with room to grow. Designed for compact spaces and retrofit projects, this kit is perfect for small stores, offices, classrooms, and residences that want IP capabilities without extensive rewiring. It also offers a scalable path—you can expand your IP camera network incrementally as needs evolve, while continuing to reuse existing coax where feasible.

How to install AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit

  • Plan your installation: Assess the existing coax runs, camera locations, and the network layout. Confirm which cameras will be upgraded to IP and determine the best routes for the adapter and cabling. Ensure you have the necessary power sources and network access for the IP cameras and any recording or management systems you’ll use (e.g., a network video recorder or NVR, and Axis management software).
  • Prepare the installation site: Power down the area where you’ll place the adapter and cameras. Remove any following components or enclosures that may obstruct the adapter’s placement. Cleanly mount the compact adapter inside a back box or small enclosure as appropriate for your installation environment.
  • Connect coax and data: Attach the existing coax lead to the input on the AXIS T8645 and route the coax to the camera’s location. Run the Ethernet connection from the adapter’s data output to the IP camera or to your network switch/NVR, following your network design. Ensure proper grounding and shielding where applicable to maintain signal integrity.
  • Power up and configure: Restore power and power-cycle the devices. Access the IP camera’s web interface or your VMS to assign an IP address, configure PoE settings, and establish any required camera parameters (resolution, frame rate, compression, and privacy masks). Verify that the camera appears in your management software and that video streams are stable.
  • Test and document: Validate live video, verify that power delivery remains stable under load, and check for any interference or signal loss. Document the installation, including cabling paths, adapter location, and camera configurations, to simplify future maintenance or expansions.
