If you're talking about this one: Amazon.com: TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PoE Splitter Adapter (TL-PoE10R): ElectronicsWhat about the TP-Link PoE splitter? ($10 - $20) @Amazon
POE has a higher voltage (around 48 volts, but really 44-57v which depends a lot on the cable distance), and to meet the power requirements that voltage is carried over multiple wires. On top of that there's a negotiation between the "client" (the camera/phone/whatever) and the POE provider (switch) regarding the class of power required.I was just wondering......what if you just spliced in to the stock PoE cat6 close to the camera, catch the 12V lines then slip a 5.5 x 2.1 plug on the splice(proper polarity)? Maybe sounds hokey but if you did a good job with the splice and the insulation.......? Or is it a no no to splice into cat 5/6? Could do it close to the camera. Mic will draw very little 12 volt watts, right?
The poe splitter outputs a regulated 12v, no matter what the actual POE voltage is.(around 48 volts, but really 44-57v which depends a lot on the cable distance),
I should have said "Cat 6 uses all 8 conductors for 1Gb connection links"Cat 6 uses all 8 conductors
Do you have 'Video&Audio' selected under Video Type in the Video tab of the Video/Audio menu in the camera web GUI?I assume the camera needs it setting up first in its own config?
You are right, I didn’t have that, video only. Typical, I looked over and over but obviously overlooked the video tab as I was only interested in audio settingsDo you have 'Video&Audio' selected under Video Type in the Video tab of the Video/Audio menu in the camera web GUI?
Turn the Noise Filter off.You are right, I didn’t have that, video only. Typical, I looked over and over but obviously overlooked the video tab as I was only interested in audio settings
I can now enable the volume but still no sound output. Will have a play, hopefully something just as simple now.
Thankyou
it is carried over ethernet ...With the OP's setup does the sound get carried over POE or do you have to run a RCA wire to the NVR?
