Veracity VHW-HWPS-B8 Highwire Powerstar Base 8 8ch

Product Description

The VERACITY VHW-HWPS-B8 is an 8-channel media converter base unit designed to transmit video, data, and power over a single coaxial cable. The Highwire Powerstar Base 8 allows installers to reuse existing coax infrastructure rather than running new Category cable, reducing labor costs and installation time on retrofit and new-construction security and surveillance projects. It supports 8 independent channels simultaneously, making it well suited for multi-camera deployments where conduit space or cable replacement is impractical. Licensed security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this equipment.

The VHW-HWPS-B8 is used in commercial and residential surveillance systems where coaxial cable is already in place. It is a common solution in retrofit IP camera installations, allowing IP cameras to connect over legacy RG59 or RG6 coax runs. The base unit typically pairs with remote endpoint adapters at each camera location to complete the link. It is appropriate for indoor rack or wall-mount installations in security head-end closets and equipment rooms.

Key Features

• 8-channel capacity supports up to 8 simultaneous coax-to-IP conversion links from a single base unit
• Enables IP camera deployment over existing coaxial cable infrastructure, eliminating recabling
• Designed for rack or equipment-room installation in commercial and residential security systems
• Sold as a single base unit (quantity per package: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style base unit for use within the VERACITY Highwire Powerstar product family, intended to pair with compatible remote endpoint adapters for coax-to-IP media conversion deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician familiar with IP networking and coaxial infrastructure. Power down the associated network switch and disconnect all coax feeds before connecting or disconnecting channels on the base unit. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable NEC requirements for the installation environment. Consult the manufacturer datasheet for power input requirements and port configuration before commissioning.
