Power over ethernet prioritization system and method for surveillance cameras
First Claim
1. A system for prioritized application of operational power receiving over a cable comprising:
- a primary component;
at least one secondary component;
a power supply;
a data transmission cable for delivering the operational power from the power supply to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, and for transmitting data between the primary component and a remote station; and
a splitter for separating the operational power from the data received over the data transmission cable, and prioritizing delivery of the operational power to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, wherein power to the primary component is monitored and a predetermined minimum threshold is set at approximately the operational requirement of the primary component and if the monitored power falls below the predetermined minimum threshold, the splitter will decrease the power delivered to the at least one secondary component to an operational power to operate the at least one secondary component.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for prioritized application of operational power receiving over a data transmission cable. The system includes a primary component, at least one secondary component, and a power supply. The system further includes a data transmission cable for transmitting operational power from the power supply to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, and for transmitting data between the primary component and a remote station. The system further includes a splitter for separating the operational power from the data received over the data transmission cable, and prioritizing delivery of the operational power to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, wherein at least a threshold level of power is delivered to the primary component, and available operational power in excess of the threshold level is delivered to the at least one secondary component.

12. A method of prioritizing delivery of operational power to a primary component and a secondary component, comprising:
-
transmitting the operational power and data over a data transmission cable; transmitting the operational power from the data transmission cable to the primary component; comparing monitoring and the operational power delivered to the primary component relative to a threshold power level; and transmitting the threshold power level to the primary component and if the monitored operational power falls below the threshold power level, splitter will decrease the power delivered to the at least one secondary component. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A power over Ethernet splitter for delivery of operational power to a primary component and a secondary component, comprising:
-
means for sensing a state of power transmission to the primary component; means for comparing the state of power transmission to the primary component relative to a threshold power level; and means for transmission of the threshold power level to the primary component and if the sensed operational power falls below the threshold power level, the transmission means will decrease the power delivered to the at least one secondary component.

18. A method of prioritizing delivery of operational power to a primary component and a secondary component embodied in a computer program product for execution on an instruction processing system, comprising a tangible storage medium readable by the instruction processing system and storing instructions for execution by the instruction processing system for performing the method comprising:
-
measuring the operational power being transmitted to the primary component; comparing the operational power being transmitted to the primary component relative to a threshold power level; and transmitting the threshold power level to the primary component and if the measured operational power falls below the threshold power level, the power delivered to the at least one secondary component is decreased. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
