Avise needed - Camera don't support POE

[alexo]

Hello,

I've been wanting to put in a security camera for a few days, and after some research i found good IP camera with Camera Processor:HI3516C + 1/2.8'' SONY IMX322, but as the seller mentioned it doesn't support POE standart for connection.

So my question is even if camera doesn't support POE, can i use POE switch or injector (to be honest i even don't understand what's the difference) for connection, or for POE connection camera need to support POE?

thanks

alexo,

Welcome to the forum!

So my question is even if camera doesn't support POE, can i use POE switch or injector (to be honest i even don't understand what's the difference) for connection,

A: Yes. I stupidly bought a WiFi cam, and learned the hard why why WiFi sucks for security cams. So I turned off WiFi, and power the cam with POE. The cam doesn't support POE (since it was WiFi). So I used a poe splitter.

Splitter info, p/n, and instructions are here:

That takes 48V poe and outputs 12V to power the cam (or microphone)
I need help to connect a microphone! DAHUA HDBW4421R-AS

Again, welcome!

ok Fenderman, Got You.

Thanks FastTB, ... so No - WIFI, Yes - POE.

I don't know that if camera have WIFI, it doesn't support POE. Thanks one more time.

Ignore my reason for needing the splitter (dumping Wifi)
The point is you can use a splitter. As fenderman pointed out, you'll need something to house the splitter and protect it from weather
