I am not very technical, but how would I be able to use this to connect a Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW Camera. I do not have a POE switch, wuld I needone?

If your camera has a separate power plug, you can use this. This kit allows you to insert power on one end of network cable and on the other end use it to power your camera. It makes use of unused wires in your network cable.

This product is used with the 12 volt power supply for that camera. It just adds the power to the Ethernet cable at one end then removes it at the camera end so you can plug it into the camera power connector. If you look at the image you will see one the round connectors on the one pigtail is a male and the other is a female. If you did not get a 12 volt power supply with the camera you will have to purchase one. It plugs in to a wall outlet and the round plug connects to the Huacam POE injector.

The standard for the PoE is 350ma. I used the PoE on all of mine. It is this camera - http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hfw3200s-218.htmlPerhaps more information there. It seems to indicate a standard 12v power supply to me. There is email contact information on the site for questions - E-mail: overseas@dahuatech.com

Also, check your devices. Just because you connect them to a gigabit switch doesn't make them gigabit. I have not seen a camera that has a gigabit connection so POE or not, they will connect at 100Mbit. Considering that a 3MP camera operates at about 8Mbit per second, you will never see any issues related to the camera port being 100Mbit.

as others said, no you don't.Also, if you have the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, the cameras will run off POE, then you don't need any adapters.

I don't understand the need for such giant dongle coming out of the camera. I believe the manufacturer should've thought about this as it makes mounting on sheetrock weak with such huge 1" diameter hole so close to the three mounting screws. Anyone selecting an IP camera will most likely use the PoE so there was no need for them to provide the second 12V connector. I like the idea of cutting off the dongle or mounting on an electrical box, but either way, it adds more work which translates to more installation time for a project.

This is a switch. You can connect upto 8 cameras / devices to it (4 PoE and 4 others). If all you want is a local network (aka, a closed system) then this switch is all you need. If you want to connect to another network (Ex: the internet) you would then connect this switch to a router.

As long as your max power draw per camera does not exceed your POE switch/injectors.. then yes, you can mix and match whatever you wish. In my network, I have Dihaua, Foscam's, and Axiom Cameras all mixed on the same POE "fabric" with no problems.

No. Each camera requires a dedicated cable from the POE switch to the camera.

If your cameras are PoE, then this switch will just power and connect your cameras to a network. You'll still need some sort of recording hardware / software to capture and archive the video. I got this switch to learn how to setup a VoIP system at home (to better market myself in the workplace) and it works great for that. I can only put 4x PoE phones on the network, but that's more than enough to learn. If you want to one day expand your security system past 4 cameras, or at least like the idea of being able to one day upgrade, look for a switch that has more than 4 PoE ports. If you KNOW that you'll stop at 4 cameras, then get this switch. You won't regret it. If your cameras are PoE, then this switch will just power and connect your cameras to a network.

At the camera end you will need what is called a POE splitter. I have had good luck with the LevelOne POS-1002 PoE Splitter. You can get these on Amazon site as well.

It didn't work for me. I tried using it with a Dahua camera that I also got on Amazon. In the end what worked in that case was a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter. That is 802.3af compliant as is the Dahua camera. If your camera supports 802.3af I would go with that.

Does not accept the standard POE, you need to use a passive POE injector (like this: http://amzn.com/B00DZLSRJC)

the camera runs at 100Mbs.... So you'll want at least a 10/100 switch. If you are doing POE, it'd need POE on it as well.

Ron,I sent mind back. I bought Hixvision DS-2CD2432F-IW, a better camera with POE, largest maker of cameras, better support -Nellys has sales + support +videos. Perhaps explain what you did in detail someone can help you. YouTube is very helpful too.

Yeah. If you had a non-PoE camera you would want a splitter to split thet data from the power since you would power it with a wall wart or something besides CAT 5/6. If your switch does not provide PoE to the camera you can use a PoE injector to provide power and data to the camera and back to your DVR or whatever. Hope this helps.

Two physical interfaces. Rj45 wired for PoE and optional 12v power if you choose not to use PoE. With regards to protocols supported there are many, check dahua website for this camera full spec sheet.

Larry L., I am almost sure you cannot. Being this is an IP switch, each device is going to get an IP address. Also, if you are using PoE, Not sure how this would work. THEORETICALLY (and I am stretching my knowledge-base), you ca have another switch at the far end and have the cameras plugged into that. But I believe there is a 1:1 relatioship for PoE port to Cameras... I'll be interested in finding out if it does work though!
