Hello,
I have one Hikvision PoE PTZ mounted on the front of my building. I love it. I had a cat5 cable ran from my office, to its location. After my router I have a switcher which has a line going to a 90W Gigabit PoE++ Injector, which then passes through a wall plate, Sheetrock, and half a foot of brick. It then runs through conduit to the cameras location roughly 75ft away. It works great, BI functions perfect and I have it operating exactly like I want it to. I did not do any research into PTZ lightbulb units prior to a week ago. My plan was to utilize 4 or 6 of them to have full perimeter coverage after the Hikvision was installed. I had made some power adjustments to my local area network so that it could easily support the streams. I did not realize (as mentioned in my first post) that all of these cameras are basically Chinese Surveillance systems that do not support onvif and send everything back to the CCP.
So now my plan is to add additional POE units. However I have one Ethernet line ran from my office through a lot of nice brick, and I do not want to drill anymore holes in the brick. I want to add a splitter to the cat5 already ran on the outside of the building, which can accommodate the existing Hikvision and the new cams I want to install. I need to know exactly what splitter I need and any other pertinent information related to the success of this project. I am not a network architect , nor network specialist. But I am willing to learn if anyone would like to share their knowledge. I know that my injector would have to be removed, and the splitter would function as an injector powering each camera. I should mention that I use Zero Tier, I believe it’s the best solution for remote access to my network.
Any help would be awesome. Point me in the right direction. Maybe what I want to do can’t even be done.
Thank you in advance.
I wish you all the best, Shaun
