Alarm.com CKB312V2 12 Channel Video Control Panel Poe

Product Description

The ALARM.COM INCORPORATED CKB312V2 is a 12-channel video control panel with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, designed for structured video surveillance installations. This unit serves as a central hub for managing multiple camera inputs, delivering both data and power to connected devices over a single network cable. It falls into the hubs and bridges category and is typically deployed by security integrators and low-voltage technicians as part of a larger IP camera or access control ecosystem. The PoE capability simplifies wiring runs and reduces the need for separate power supplies at each camera location.

This control panel is suited for commercial and residential security installations where centralized video management is required. With 12 channels available, it supports mid-scale deployments such as retail environments, office buildings, light industrial facilities, and multi-unit residential properties. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for integration into a structured cabling infrastructure managed by a licensed security or low-voltage contractor.
