I found 8 carrier boards that can take their power from PoE as a powered device (PD), so one Ethernet cable can carry both data and power. Five are from Auvidea; YUAN High-Tech, Connect Tech and Antmicro have one each.

For a pole-mounted camera node:
- Connect Tech Photon is built as a smart-camera carrier with a PoE PD Gigabit uplink. Its -25 to 85 °C rating is the widest of these boards, which matters outdoors. connecttec... +1connecttech.com ↗“Smart-camera carrier (NGX002/NGX003)”connecttech.com ↗“thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-25 °C”
- Check the variant before ordering. On several boards, PoE is only on certain versions:
- Photon: the PoE/PoE+ PD input is listed for the NGX002 version. connecttec...connecttech.com ↗“or PoE/PoE+ PD (NGX002)”
- JNX82: PoE+ PD is only on the JNX82P variant. auvidea.euauvidea.eu ↗“optional PoE+ PD (JNX82P variant)”
- JNX30 and JNX40S/JNX41S: PoE is listed as optional. auvidea.eu +1auvidea.eu ↗“io.poe_optional=True, io.m2_slot_count=1”auvidea.eu ↗“io.poe_optional=True, io.m2_slot_count=3”
- JNX82 is a special-order item and is currently not available. auvidea.euauvidea.eu ↗“Special order; currently not available.”
- AIR6N0-C-MB NX TRX is rated 0 to 60 °C only with airflow, so it may be a poor fit for a sealed outdoor enclosure. yuan.com.twyuan.com.tw ↗“thermal.operating_temp_condition=Requires airflow”
What I couldn't confirm:
- PoE standard and power class: I only found these for JNX33 (802.3at), Photon (PoE/PoE+), JNX82P (PoE+) and JNX42P (PoE++). Check that the PoE power available covers the Jetson module plus your cameras.
- Operating temperature: not listed for JNX33, JNX42, JNX82 or the Antmicro board.
- IP or outdoor ratings: none of these boards has one listed. They are bare boards, so a pole mount will need a separate weatherproof enclosure.
