I have IP cams that support 802.3af standard. What else besides this package (48V 60watt power supply and 8-port injector) will I need? splitters?

To be clear, I have not installed the port injector yet. However, the port injector will be cabled (with cat 5e or cat6 cabling) between your network switch and your IP cams.

Actually Ubiquiti sells 48v (802.3af) to 24v midspan adapters. Indoor and an outdoor version. About 20$So you can plug the adapter at the poe switch or dangle from device (camera, access point) depending on model.Google search "INS-8023AF-I" or "INS-8023AF-O" indoors, outdoors respectively.

Yes. It requires an Ethernet cable to connect to the network for both data and power. Also means you need a power injector adapter too. Benefit is that you are only running one wire to the device and it gives you a more secure connection compared to a wireless camera.

Yes, it should work but a recent lighting strike made me using multiple 4 port poe injectors. This device was the only one failed and kicked out 5 of 8 cameras.

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.

Wrong.These cameras require 7.5w via 48v POE. Most routers cannot deliver this type of power. in 99% of cases you will require a POE injector. A company by the name of WiFi Texas , makes a nice set of POE injectors. I have used them for camera projects at 4 of my business's locations with over 300 cameras.

Sure. But if your router is not PoE, you'll need to get a power supply to the camera for it to work.

Here is a POE solution.. "PoE Injector/Splitter" I just ordered 2, seems to have good reviews, if it works then no need to worry about getting cameras with POE anymore...And it is really inexpensive...

This may be what you need: http://www.amazon.com/WS-GPOE-B-12-24v120w-gigabit-Ethernet-Injector-supply/dp/B00EQDMWIK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420652252&sr=1-2&keywords=WS-GPOE-12-24v

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.

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.

Used mine for analog cameras one at the camera and one at the DVR (bnc) & wall wart (power). The IP cameras are connected to a PoE switch for power and data transfer over CAT5.

You need an ethernet (power over ethernet). I had one spot prewired. The way the cam is detected is via your power outlet.

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.

You need to either have a POE switch or a local 12v power adapter to power the camera. Most home routers do not have POE built in.

You will need either RG6 coaxial (BNC connectors) or Cat5 (need BNC baluns). I ran two , a Cat5 & Cat6 (bigger wire). I wanted to have my video(dbl up on wires) and power in separate runs (Better quality video). Also you will need to get it's own power supply. I don't remember the voltage, But I ended up having to use the "brick" pwr supply off of an 8 camera pwr splitter.. decent cctv for $$$.Hope it helps.

POE is not built into this Foscam model but Foscam offers a couple of different adapters such as this one...http://foscam.us/accessories/active-poe-splitter.html
