If I plug the ethernet cable to a router, will I be able to use the power cable to power my 12v cctv camera?

It didn't work for me. I tried using it with a Dahua camera that I also got on Amazon. In the end what worked in that case was a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter. That is 802.3af compliant as is the Dahua camera. If your camera supports 802.3af I would go with that.

You don't need a router for a CCTV camera. Only IP cameras meed a router or a switch. These plugs just let you use Cat5 (computer) cables as an extension cord. Each of these plugs have a CAT5 end and a power plug end. You connect the power plug into your camera power jack then the CAT5 end into a Cat5 cable. The other end of the cat5 cable into CAT5 end and the power jack into your camera power supply. The plugs have RJ45 ends with a split off power jacks. Make sure the power jacks are the correct size for both your camera and power supply. These plugs injects power onto the Cat5 cable. If your camera uses 12V and you are only going a short run like 25-30 feet a 12V power supply should work. The longer the cat5 run the less voltage you get on the other end. So if you use 12V and a 200 foot run you might get 5 volts at the camera end. You would have to use a larger power supply for a long run. There are sites on the web that can explain it better then I can. So I guess to answer your question Yes you can power a CCTV camera with these with the right connector. I don't think you can send video over that cable though. I believe CCTV uses coax. I mostly replace CCTV camera with IP cameras they are cheaper and you can access the camera for a smart phone remotely. You would have to check with the Camera Manufacturer. I am running IP Foscam cameras.

It needn't using Power over Ethernet,you can using the power supply which included in the package with the camera.

Yes, the cable has the power for the cameras.You dont need a power plug neer each cam.

Yes and no; you can run video (2 pair) with the use of a balun (ethernet to bnc adapter). The "no" is that you need power; so since ethernet cable is not rated to support 12 volts you will need to run utp or a 12 gauge rated cable (with the proper ends). Another solution is to find power near the camera (attic) and connect or add a power outlet to support the camera.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

Hi, Sir, You will need a computer to access and program the camera. However, since it is a wireless camera, you do not need to run cat5 ethernet cable to the camera. But you need a lower power source to plug in the power adapter, which is used to power the camera

If your camera has a separate power plug, you can use this. This kit allows you to insert power on one end of network cable and on the other end use it to power your camera. It makes use of unused wires in your network cable.

No, the only thing that will plug into the router is the networker adapter cable. The cameras only plug into electrical outlets. Hope this helps.

The power source for these are DC, but you can use POE injectors like this one WS-POE-8-48v60w Passive 10/100 Power over Ethernet PoE Injector for 8 IP Cameras, VOIP Phones or Access Points, 48 volts, 60 Watts Total Power

Yes you can. Here is what I use with a 100' Cat5e to run mine. WS-POE-5v-kit 5 volt power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft.

Yes I think you should be able to. I have cat 5 from my cable modem to it and run wireless off of it throughout my business, and I run my wireless security cams through it.

No it won't work. This switch is designed to power network devices which are PoE compliant (such as network cameras, some Wi-Fi routers, etc.). Check Wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet

The power we use is 120v that was not the issue. The issue was that we could not get the camera to work with our network and it would not allow us to start recording. The instructions are very confusing.

Assuming you are planning to use the extractor (included) and that it has the right size power connector: yes. If you have a PoE IP camera and need to inject power for it, this is not the device for you. This is passive PoE, not active, which is why it's so cheap. Also, like others have said, it won't work well over very large distances, although that can be worked around by using a different power supply that pushes a higher voltage over the line. Just be careful doing anything like that.

It uses a standard 12 volt CCTV security camera power supply that plugs into the camera. The other end of the wire you plug into your standard 120v outlet

Yes, but you would have to buy a converter so you can convert the power. Standard is through 110V. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks Deluxe CCTV Inc.
