Can I plug my old analog CCTV cameras into this and the other end into a router making it an IP camera?

No- it is designed to be make it possible to convert the signal from coaxial to modular cable (Ethernet type cable). You would need 2 per connection. 1 on each end. It will not transform an ordinary camera into an ip camera digital or analog.

No. The IP part of that is internet protocol. Without the electronics required to assign an IP address it cannot communicate like other network devices. All this does is is cat-5 cable.

Yes you can. I used IP cam viewer with my unit and it worked reliably. The problem is with washout.

I am not sure if that is possible. I had a home invasion and purchased this for the 3 day period that it was going to take to install a real security camera system. It has a box that sets next to the TV and I belive it has RCA video out cables. If I have time sometime I will play with the unit; however, I so no instructions for allowing it to use a router

No, it's not an IP camera, it's just a CCTV camera. It can only be connected via standard hard-wired video cables.

This is an IP camera. The only ports are the Cat5 Jack and power jack for the optional power adapter if you do not have POE.

Don't see why not, but you would still need some way to get power to the camera. For example, you could use the belkin F7D4555 adapter, which goes for like $15 from bensoutlet, but you would have to supply power to the adapter and the ip cam as well

I would assume not as these are for converting bnc to cat5. As you know the cameras only utilize 3 of the 8 wires. 2 of the remaining 5 are for power supply. Unless you have a matched set of connections it is probably not going to work

You can. That's basically how I set mine up. Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere. Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

They say you can. There are tutorials on it. I haven't done it yet as it requires pointing your ip to a service like no ip or another name service for ips. If you do a search in forums, it's the same as setting up a security camera access point or Remote Desktop service.

Correct, it only has an ethernet connection for network IP cameras. It will not work with analog cameras.

To be clear, I have not installed the port injector yet. However, the port injector will be cabled (with cat 5e or cat6 cabling) between your network switch and your IP cams.

You could but you should know that the bandwidth of ip cameras can consume a lot. So depending on how many you intend to use and also the configuration of the AP's (how many will be repeating) it can bog things down quickly. Remember that if you are repeating, it takes away half of available bw for each time you repeat.

Most likely not, it is a DSL could probably use their modem and this as router. I run 6 security cameras at up to 200 feet wireless and it works great.

You should be able to setup the camera once you know the ip address with any OS. You can find the ip address using your router. I returned this camera because it was unstable and needed to be restarted several times a day. The lower res camera F18910W is more stable ran for over a week with now issues.

Yes. You can connect the TV, Bluray, etc. to the non POE ports because they do not get powered that way (they have their own power supply). I use this router with IP cameras as well, and use the non POE ports for my laptop.

No. No smart or unmanaged switch can be configured. It CAN power an IP camera, but you can't assign the bandwidth. Buy a managed switch for that functionality.

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.
