Does this camera support POE? One reviewer said he had to splice wires in order to get it to work.

That is correct. It is not set up for POE but you can make your own POE cable and use it that way.Search the web for making a POE cable and give it a try

There is a new model that DOES supports POE (in fact, it drops the normal power supply connector, so you MUST use POE) - just got one off Aliexpress and it works as expected.

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

No, it does not support POE. I had to use a pair of injectors for mine. Working at 100' with quality cable.

I use mine with the wall outlet adapter. I do not believe that this device even supports POE.

No it's Ethernet port does not support PoE. Its DC In port is its only intake for power.

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.

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

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

Yes, you can hook this camera up to a POE NVR, choose Synology NVR, best in it's class

Yes, it supports ONVIF cameras. Unfortunately, the unit I purchased is no longer working. It died in less than a year (hardware failure.) I'm looking for another ONVIF HD NVR with PoE.

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.

I hate to have to disagree with the other responders, but I have found that cables do matter for POE. My application was a relatively high power one that pushed POE right to the limit, and I could only get it to work with a solid wire cable. The problem is that some patch cables, in order to maximize flexibility and minimize cost, use wire that's basically copper foil wound around a piece of thread. These just don't have the necessary current carrying capacity, at least not in my experience. A proper stranded wire cable would probably work, but I haven't tried that.

You need to you use an waterproof electrical junction box, mounted close to the Dome camera, where you bring the cable pigtail from the camera and the power and optional Ethernet data cable (in case of a wired connection). Optional this junction box could house an POE splitter, for POE network wiring.

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!

Your IP cam needs to be able to handle multiple POE voltages. The poe injector does not do it by itself.

Yes you need to have a POE device, you don't have to buy a new router/switch though. You can buy an injector such as this one http://amzn.com/B001PS9E5I. I did a measurement on the load of this device and with everything hooked up it draws about 4.5 watts and with the LEDs enabled it bumps up to 5.5 watts. This is your best low cost choice. If you want, there is also a barrel power connector pig tailed onto the camera. But it doesn't come with a power supply and I don't really know what the power requirements are. You would have to buy the power supply after finding one that works.

It should work - the specs on the camera say PoE (802.3af) which is what the poe injector puts out. Works just fine on my hikvisions that use the 802.3af POE standard.

The camera is PoE and uses power from a PoE enabled switch, or one of Hiikvisions NVR's. You could get an injector if need be and install it inline with the cat 5/6 wire run to the camera. Hope that helps.

Dear IT Boss,Thank you for inquiry.This ip camera support many kinds of poe switch, you could check it our link of poe switch;BW® 4-ports 10/100M Desktop PoE SwitchIf you need to connect 4pcs ip cameras, then 4 ports poe switch is good, if over 4pcs, then we suggest 8 ports poe switch.Any further information feel free to contact us.Best regards,Teresa
