Can a passive POE device/switch be used to power Hikvision cameras? Like the devices from WiFi Texas and a few others. Something about passive vs af standard I don’t unite understand. Good and bad of passive. Thanks
This is simply not true....passive poe is no more reliable or simple than a switch...it messy as well...the only thing they have going for them is that they are a bit cheaper...if you are going to lie and post this nonsense, then at least be honest and disclose that you work for a company that sells this crap. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerkandrewsThe benefits of passive PoE are simplicity, reliability, and affordability. In a case like PoE cameras, the passive injectors work great, and Darwin awards go to people trying to plug a laptop into the port on the ceiling and unplugging a PoE camera.

I didn’t realize I was hiding the fact. My registration info is all from the company, and my picture matches my LinkedIn page. I believe in the value of the products we sell, and I’m happy to share the expertise we have whether it’s our products or someone else’s.Well Tyler you could have been a little more honest with your response. No harm telling people you are the CEO of a company that sells passive products. Try a different approach next time.
Fenderman, if I wanted to hide the fact that I work for the company I wouldn’t have posted using my work email.This is simply not true....passive poe is no more reliable or simple than a switch...it messy as well...the only thing they have going for them is that they are a bit cheaper...if you are going to lie and post this nonsense, then at least be honest and disclose that you work for a company that sells this crap. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerkandrews
Out of respect to others on the forum, I’ll make sure to disclose my affiliation as I contribute.Fenderman, if I wanted to hide the fact that I work for the company I wouldn’t have posted using my work email.
I do believe in what we offer. Passive injectors and switches have value and a place. 5 star ratings on Amazon and eBay show that we’re as serious about helping people as offering quality products.
Well you certainly didn't mention it.I didn’t realize I was hiding the fact.

The average user doesn't know or understand the technicalities, so that distinction isn't too relevant.The difference between passive and active PoE is the auto negotiation. Active devices do a handshake between the Power Supplying Equipment (PSE) and the Powered Device (PD) before it turns on the power. Passive is always on. It’s all about the right tool for the job.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into those threads. We want to offer good that customers want.There've been a few threads here where cameras have been damaged as a result of issues with passive PoE equipment and a few others where power quality or regulation issues were causing reliability problems for people. 99% sure some of these involved products from wifitexas/poetexas.
Thanks for pointing out the distinctions. I’ll be more careful. Deception was not the intention.Well you certainly didn't mention it.

In my view, passive PoE is just a confusing cheat in the way product descriptions are worded that can catch unaware people out.
