Does PoE mean it has to be hard wired to the network?
1521863
Yes. No wireless on this model. The advantage of Power Over Ethernet is that data and power run on the same Ethernet cable... Which comes in handy if you don't have AC power near where you'd like to mount the camera.
1521864
Yes. It requires an Ethernet cable to connect to the network for both data and power. Also means you need a power injector adapter too. Benefit is that you are only running one wire to the device and it gives you a more secure connection compared to a wireless camera.

PoE simply means it can be powered by just ethernet if you're using a PoE switch. Usually hard wiring PoE equipment is the desired outcome, but I don't think there's anything to stop you from getting a wireless antenna and using that. However, you'll have to plug the camera in somewhere.If you don't want to use PoE, the non-PoE version of this camera is ~$20 cheaper and an antenna is ~$7. There's also a two pack with antennas for ~150.

Yes. Power Over Ethernet. It uses a special router/switch which supplies power over the Ethernet cable. Alternatively you can power the camera with the included ac adapter, but installation is cleaner using POE. Either way the camera must be connected to a wired network.

Yes. You can plug into a Poe switch. I'm not sure about the 802.1af. Ubiquity makes a Poe switch that's very user friendly called "tough switch". Hope this helps!

It only has a network jack for PoE. There is no traditional power input. The power supply you can get for this unit adds power to an Ethernet cable which then plugs into the network jack.

Yes it does. The power cord is notched as it is specifically rated to handle the POE load from the switch. You must use the power cord supplied.

Yes, the POE injector is the power supply. It plugs into the wall with a standard 3 prong North American plug. It also has two Ethernet ports. One is connected to the router/switch/hub and the other is connected to the Access Point. This is important to remember because you need extra cables.

It is automatic. The Poe will not come on if it doesn't see a Poe enable device

Yes it can be managed from any port if configured to do so, which is the default. Yes on multiple VLANs and trunk ports. Note: the POE it supplies is not standard 802.3af POE. It is Ubiquiti's own flavor.

It is not the purpose of these devices to provide POE. Their sole purpose is to provide a power-line Ethernet extension that is more reliable than wireless and reaches locations wireless adapters can't.

no, Hard-Wired means that it connects directly to an electrical light outlet box installed in the wall; usually done by an electrician but a good handyman could probably do it

The Ethernet cable from the Airgrid should be plugged into the "POE" plug on the included power supply. The "LAN" plug on the power supply Ethernet cable goes to your computer or network switch.

No. These cable assemblies are designed to be used with the power supply for the device you want to power. POE power is 48 volts and requires that the device you are trying to power can take the 48 volts and convert it to what it needs. The power from the device power supply is simply injected into the ethernet cable at the source end then extracted at the other end.

You will need a outlet to power it if using wifi. I think you can use POE on cat5, but not sure. I have it mounted high on the garage so I just drilled a hole through the siding and plugged it in.
97606
No. I have printers and computers that do not use POE connected. No issues.

If you have a piece of equipment, in my case it's my Directv receiver, that has an Ethernet port as its only way of connecting to the internet (or home network) and the piece of equipment is nowhere near an Ethernet port (Cat5 plug) in your house, this device will receive the wireless signal from your router and convert it to a CAT5 output that you then plug into the Ethernet port on your piece of equipment. Thus you avoid the need to hard wire.

Not sure what u mean by soft wired, but yes, u do have to plug in a cable to your router so the panel should be pretty close.

No. They require an Ethernet cable connection with POE (Power Over Ethernet)
239593
This provides power over your Ethernet cable (POE). The unit is only to provide 48v (IEEE protocol 802.3af) to whatever is plugged in to the other end of the cable. It does not affect any other functionality. Note also that the device at the opposite end of the wire will also need to be IEEE 802.3af compliant in order to work correctly.
