Announcing the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just announced the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT compliant with 802.3at (aka PoE+) and 802.3af standards and support for up to 25.5 Watts input.

It will replace the Raspberry Pi PoE HAT introduced in 2018 which was limited to 802.3af standard with a maximum of 15.4 Watts input and will become available around mid-June for $20 plus taxes and shipping.

HAT = Hardware Attached on Top.

Here is a competing Waveshare PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B.

    I wonder how much power would be needed if the camera were on a motorized swivel that could be rotated by the guards between donut breaks.

    This new HAT supports 25 watts, The Raspberry Pi is about 12 and I have a motorized WiFi "smart" camera that takes 12v 1 amp, so 12 watts tops. Looks like this would be just about perfect with the right camera setup, but...a dedicated PoE "smart" camera would already be pretty close to everything you need anyway. I'm thinking this might be better suited to something more complicated than a camera install.
