CP Plus CP-ANW-GPU8G2 — Full Gigabit PoE with AI Watchdog

The CP-ANW-GPU8G2 is CP Plus’s mid-range workhorse for 4 to 8 camera CCTV installations — shops, offices, small warehouses, and residential buildings across India. All 8 PoE ports and both uplink ports run at full Gigabit speed (10/100/1000 Mbps), providing ample bandwidth for 4MP, 5MP, and 8MP cameras running H.265 without any bottleneck. This is a meaningful upgrade over 10/100 Mbps PoE switches where 8 cameras streaming simultaneously can saturate the uplink — the Gigabit backplane on the GPU8G2 eliminates that problem entirely.

The 120W total PoE budget across 8 ports handles the vast majority of Indian CCTV deployments. Standard dome and bullet cameras draw 7–15W each (802.3af), so 8 cameras at 15W peak is only 120W — right at budget. For installations mixing standard cameras with one or two PTZ units, the 802.3bt support at 60W per port means high-power devices connect without separate power supplies. The switch auto-negotiates PoE class per device — no configuration, no DIP switches, no manual power allocation.

AI Watchdog, Surge Protection, and Zero Configuration

The AI Watchdog continuously monitors every connected PoE device. If a camera freezes, drops off the network, or stops responding, the switch automatically power-cycles that specific port — restarting the camera without anyone visiting the switch location. For Indian installations where the switch sits in a locked server rack and cameras are mounted across the property, this eliminates the most common maintenance call. Pair this switch with a CP Plus NVR from Thencix for a complete self-healing CCTV system.

Electrical protection includes 6KV lightning protection and 8KV ESD surge protection — covering monsoon lightning, voltage fluctuations, and static discharge common in Indian installations. Store-and-forward switching checks packets before forwarding. Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports means any Ethernet cable works. The switch is completely unmanaged — plug in cameras, plug in NVR, power on. Zero configuration. Works with any PoE IP camera brand — CP Plus, Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and all 802.3af/at/bt compliant devices.

Ideal Use Cases — CP Plus CP-ANW-GPU8G2 in India

Shops, Offices, and Small Commercial Spaces: A typical 4 to 8 camera CCTV setup at a shop, office floor, or clinic. All 8 cameras get Gigabit bandwidth — no frame drops even with 5MP cameras on H.265. The two Gigabit uplink ports connect to your NVR and router. AI Watchdog keeps the system running without IT staff. GST invoice from Thencix for full input tax credit.

Residential Buildings and Housing Societies: Gates, parking, lobbies, stairwells, and perimeter walls in Delhi NCR apartments typically need 6 to 8 cameras. The 60W bt support handles a PTZ camera at the main gate alongside standard dome cameras — all powered from one switch. The 6KV lightning protection is essential where Ethernet cables run along exterior walls exposed to monsoon storms.

Warehouses and Small Industrial Sites: Perimeter cameras, loading dock monitoring, and gate coverage. Gigabit speed ensures smooth NVR recording even when someone is simultaneously viewing live feeds remotely via Jio Fiber or Airtel Xstream. For sites needing more than 8 cameras, pair with a 16 or 24-port CP Plus switch — explore our full CCTV and networking range at Thencix.
