    Hikvision DS-2FP3021-OW Hi-Fi Pickup Mic (IP66 Rated) For Use With Dahua PTZ IPC

    Hey guys, A couple of months ago, I purchased the most highly recommended outdoor microphone on this forum (which is Microseven M7WP-MIC) directly from Microseven. It took forever to ship from US to Australia, and the package was deemed to be lost during transit. PayPal eventually refunded me...

    DH-PFA151 (Corner Mount Bracket) + DH-PFB305W (Wall Mount Bracket) + DH-PFA120 vs DH-PFA126

    Hi @TonyR Would you recommend the following Duct Seal product? https://www.amazon.com.au/Rectorseal-81880-1-Pound-Duct-Compound/dp/B008A3UG94/ This product is manufactured by the RectorSeal Corporation. It seems to be very popular in the US. It looks to be a tad bit better than the Bostik...

    Best Practices For Applying Dielectric Grease to RJ45 Jacks & Connectors

    Following @TonyR's suggestion here, I ordered the Permatex Tune Up Dielectric Grease from Amazon. I managed to find the 85g paste (Part #22058) since I will be needing it for future outdoor camera and PoE devices. Besides, buying in bulk is always cheaper. Even after reading tutorials / howtos...

    Recommend a PoE Splitter That Can Output 30W+

    The included 60W PoE adapter (i.e. not an injector) that comes bundled with the Flex Outdoor Utility Kit requires 240V power source nearby, and then you lose an extra port for upstream data. So, using a PoE++ injector is a no-brainer. I don't have any other Ubiquiti / UniFi hardware /...

    Recommend a PoE Splitter That Can Output 30W+

    This is by far the best solution. Considering the USW-FLEX is already outdoor rated ("weatherproof"), do I still need to look at buying the USW-Flex-Utility kit? The USW-Flex-Utility comes with a 60W PoE adapter, which would be completely useless for my needs as I need to pair it with a UniFi...

    Quality of the video is not bad. I could understand everything. This is a very nice hack. If this solution can power two PTZ cameras for you, then it will definitely work for powering an outdoor mic after splitting the power from one of the RJ45 plugs. Just out of curiosity, what PTZ IP...

    Please kindly post the link to your HOWTO video so that everyone here can assess the merits of your solution. The best solution so far is the use of a USW-Flex device paired with a UniFi PoE++ Adapter (60W). It will also allow me to add more cameras around the area until all 4 ports are used up.

    Recommend a PoE Splitter That Can Output 30W+

    Nope. That is definitely not what I am trying to do here. Please read the problem statement in my OP. I am trying to power a 12V outdoor mic by splitting the power from the PoE+ cable run. It can't be done for this camera as its DC power jack requires 24V for the camera to boot up, which would...

    DH-PFA151 (Corner Mount Bracket) + DH-PFB305W (Wall Mount Bracket) + DH-PFA120 vs DH-PFA126

    In Australia, Home Depot is known as Bunnings Warehouse. They used to stock the CRC dielectric grease, but no more. So, I have turned to Amazon and eBay. I found this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Waterproof-Insulation-Dielectric-Electrical-Connectors/dp/B0D8NT2RWB/ Before I place an order...

    DH-PFA151 (Corner Mount Bracket) + DH-PFB305W (Wall Mount Bracket) + DH-PFA120 vs DH-PFA126

    Thank you so much for all the links, especially the rubber grommets. Definitely ordering these. What you have stated above is the correct nominal diameter for the DH-PFA120 unit. However, once it is screwed tight onto the DH-PFA151 Corner Mount Bracket the knockout is then reduced to a nominal...

    DH-PFA151 (Corner Mount Bracket) + DH-PFB305W (Wall Mount Bracket) + DH-PFA120 vs DH-PFA126

    I have a new PTZ camera installation coming up using the DH-PFA151 corner mount bracket. PTZ Camera: SD6C3425GB-HNR-A-PV1 [Net Weight: 4.6kg] This camera comes with the DH-PFB305W Wall Mount Bracket. [Load Bearing: 5.0kg -- Net Weight: 0.87kg] My plan is to purchase the DH-PFA120 Water-proof...

    Recommend a PoE Splitter That Can Output 30W+

    That statement sounds somewhat arrogant. Why? I have gotten all of the PoE splitters to work with a Reolink PoE (IEEE 802.3af) camera. Obviously, the Reolink camera is not PoE+ which the DH-SD6C3425GB-HNR-A-PV1 is. TP-Link TL-SG1218MP 18 Port Gigabit Rackmount Switch with 16 PoE+ High Power SFP...

    Since the DH-SD6C3425GB-HNR-A-PV1 TiOC 2.0 PTZ PoE+ camera doesn't come with a built-in mic but bare wires for audio input, I went about and setup an external mic using the following as a template: https://ipcamtalk.com/attachments/wires1-jpg.89709/ When I went onto power on the camera and the...
