All fixed without using a tester. I noticed that part of the cat5 cable was squashed a few inches down, cut and reterminated and all good.

THanks will order a tester. I tried different PoE ports and the camera worked fine with a test lead before fitting. I suspect i have squashed the cable.

OK wired it all up earlier. One cam works all ok and the other doesnt. I re terminated the connections at either end three times each and still nothing. THe IR LEDs ligh up though? Any ideas? Damaged cable?

Many thanks!

Is there enough space behind the 5231's standard wall mount to hide the join from the cat6 connection to the camera loom? Or would i require the optional Dahua mounting bracket to hide that? (The cameras are going on a brick wall with external cat cable)
