Product Description

The ALARM.COM INCORPORATED CKB308 is an 8-channel video control panel with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, designed for professional security and surveillance installations. This hub-style device centralizes video signal management and powers compatible IP cameras directly through the network cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each camera location. It belongs to the hubs and bridges product category and is intended for installation by licensed security and low-voltage technicians working on commercial or residential surveillance systems.

The CKB308 is suited for applications requiring centralized video management across up to 8 camera channels. Its integrated PoE capability simplifies wiring in new construction and retrofit projects alike. Security integrators and low-voltage contractors typically deploy this panel as the core of a structured IP camera system, connecting cameras via standard Ethernet cabling from a central distribution point.

Key Features

• 8 independent video channels for multi-camera surveillance coverage
• Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) eliminates separate camera power runs
