I'm adding this here too...as I've been pretty enamored with some of the offerings for IP cams from this company:
poetexas.com
If anyone has bad experience with them please let me know. So far I'm loving what they offer...some examples:
PASSIVE 8 port switch - Here is what I like. You can choose whether you want 24v or 48v power on A or B POE. Two different power inputs for A power and B power and they can be different voltages! So you can use this to power a CAM and an
IR light with the proper ethernet B power adapter on the end.
Mode B Splitter
RJ45 Combiner & Splitter Kit - How about these babies. Plug one end into two ports on your switch and a single
cat5e/6 cable then another on the other end to power and run 2 cams! $17 You are only going to get 10/100 but the cams we use are typically 100m. Mode A power only.
They also have some nice
videos. And some really neat
testers. To top it off the prices aren't stupid expensive.
Caveat...you pretty much need to know what you are talking about with POE. .at, .af, passive, active, Mode A and Mode B. Most of their stuff is passive. For a lot of experienced guys on here...installers dream as far as I'm concerned. FYI they are great on the phone and can answer questions about their products quickly...not common for most vendors.
