Been lucking this forum a while looking for an easy way to do this … I have few dhaua from andy, and wanted to add a mic without having to add a power outlet for the DC in on the mic (camera is nowhere near power). a POE line should have sufficient voltage to run both the camera and a mic, but haven't seen any write ups on how to do this... so...
If anyone's already done this, then just ignore this
Parts list:
Mini 2-port POE extender (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HSN5YSK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
POE splitter
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MOIDXZ0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
3-5" ethernet patch cable (just make one, or amazon sells)
MtM RCA coupler
_____________
From there, it's pretty simple--:
POE -> port 1 of Extender
Out of the extender, one patch cable to the Splitter, and the splitter powers the mic with a standard cable (the trendnet is a bit bigger than the others, but has selectable voltage)
The other port goes to the camera
Connect audio out from mic to audio in on camera, set up your software, and your GTG.
I've had this running for three days, and works great.
Only downside is that these parts do not fit in the standard mounting boxes Andy sells. I'm currently using 2 mounting boxes side-by-side, but looking for a way to slim this down to fit it into a single box, or may just get a bigger box.
Another option is to run 2 POE lines from your POE switch then just use the POE splitter …. I didn't feel like running another line, but that would work perfectly fine too.
Anyway, pretty simple, if I missed anyone elses write up, then just ignore.
