Recently purchased this camera and connected by network cables less than 100ft to my TPLink POE switch but camera isn't powered on. Any idea why?

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

As long as the POE injector is 802.3af compliant it should. I'd get a cable tester and make sure the cable doesn't have an open pin or is somehow miswired. Does it work if you hook it up to a short patch cable?

This is an analog field CCTV monitor with a BNC input. POE cameras use an IP interface so there is no way to connect it directly unless the camera has an analog (BNC or TP) output.

Sorry for the delay in answering you...things have been a bit off track because of the long Holiday weekendHere is the answer from our technical people.You need 1 unit for 4 cameras. PoE provides Power and Data for camera up to 300 feet.Hope that helps,John Duncan1-888-445-8375

There are adapters (power injectors) you can purchase that lets you send the power over the Ethernet cable. The adapters go on both ends of the Ethernet cable. However, most POE switches will not recognize it as a POE device. Therefore, it won't send the required voltage out to power the device , you still have to use the power adapter that comes with the camera. This is good so you don't have to have a power source close to the camera.

Its a Samsung version of poe but there is no seperate power supply it plugs in ethernet straight into the DVR. You can extend the footage with extra ethernet and no power supply is needed for the camera.

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.

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

If I understand your question correctly, no. I tried using a Cisco PoE switch, then this splitter at the IP camera end. It does not power the camera, Cisco business tech support said it won't. The PoE switch "looks" for a device response before turning on the Power. This pair of splitters let you add power on one end of your Cat5 cable then split it off on the other end. Make note of power loss over distance. You'll likely only be able to run under 100 feet.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

You need to make an Ethernet coonection to marry the camera to the wifi system. After they connect, you can disconnect. Some of the newest cameras from this line can power from the Ethernet connection.

Any PoE switch or PoE injector should work. If you have more than one camera I would recommend a PoE switch such as the TRENDnet TPE-S44

The camera has a short (maybe 6 inches?) cat5 cable with a female end attached to it that will connect with your cat5 wiring. I doubt you will find anyone selling this camera along with cables that allow the camera to be connected with your router. In my case, I needed 60 ft of cable. I purchased that separately. The length of cable you need will depend on where you mount the camera, and where your router is located. Search for Cat5 patch cables, and look for one that is the appropriate length for your installation. You may want to do PoE (power over ethernet) which means you only run a Cat5 cable, and not a separate power cable, since the PoE device can transmit power through the Cat5 cable - so your network traffic and power all run through the single cable. If you have a power outlet close to where you want the camera mounted, then you don't need the PoE, since you can just use the included power supply.

So you plug the master power into your standard outlet and insert the cat 5e cable from that power source into your router. Then pretty much do the same for the camera, plug its power source into a standard outlet and plug in the ethernet cord to that and then the other end goes into the camera. Its power over the ethernet cable. Just besure to not use any extension cords or surge protectors, as it messes up tge transmission. The instructions state bothpower sources have a surge protector in them. Definitely a DIY job, nothing fancy, very straightforward. All the best! Its a great unit!!

Yes. And if your camera has the setting, make sure you set it to "uncontrolled" PoE; some PoE devices can talk with each other and adjust power, but this doesn't.

Yes. Power Over Ethernet. It uses a special router/switch which supplies power over the Ethernet cable. Alternatively you can power the camera with the included ac adapter, but installation is cleaner using POE. Either way the camera must be connected to a wired network.

This camera is not a wireless camera... Best performance is to run a Cat5 Cable using a PoE switch

Hardwired camera via coax. I have not been successful in accessing the unit via network at all and I have been unable to talk to a real tech support person.
