Hello
Forgive me if I am a little naive as I am fairly new to this. One of the reasons I purchased this camera was for its PoE capability but I am having difficulty. The camera works when it is connected directly to a 12v power supply, but if I connect it via a passive PoE injector it doesnt work. I am plugging the power supply into the injector, an ethernet cable that runs back to a Gb Switch is connected to the port marked "LAN" on the injector, and an ethernet patch lead is connected to the "PoE" socket on the injector and runs to the RJ45 socket tail on the camera.
I am sure it would work if I also had a PoE splitter (which I dont at the moment) but I thought that a PoE camera wouldnt need a splitter? I thought the power socket on the camera would not need to be connected when using PoE.
Have I got this wrong?
Many thanks
Ian
