Ethernet gateways

The Amazon Monitron Ethernet Gateway comes equipped with an RJ-45 socket, so you can connect it to your Ethernet network using a Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable. You power your gateway over the Ethernet cable, using Power over Ethernet (POE). Therefore, you need either a router that supports POE or a POE power injector.
