Can Foscam FI8910E (power over Ethernet POE) cams compatible with Foscam FI8910W cams on same network? or only one type or the other on network? Thank

You can have a mix of both with no issues. The 910W also have an Ethernet port if you want to use it.

I don't have the FI8910W but other than how they connect they are not different in anyway I use the same software drivers and monitory software that is for the 10W. My monitory software thinks I am using an 10w

As long as your max power draw per camera does not exceed your POE switch/injectors.. then yes, you can mix and match whatever you wish. In my network, I have Dihaua, Foscam's, and Axiom Cameras all mixed on the same POE "fabric" with no problems.

The cams are in depended of each other, you can put any one with any other when using there internal software (web based interface) to view the video. However if you are using software to monitor/record multiple cameras you will need to be sure the software supports the cam version, though I believe the only difference is the E supports POE (though does include a power adapter as well) and the W supports wireless.

The two co-exist just fine for me. If there is power available within a few feet, I use the FI8910W. But if there is no power outlet close by, I run a Cat5e from a POE switch and use the FI8910E and enjoy the better streaming speed a cable gives you.

You can use the Foscam Android App to set it up. You need to set up the router a little bit before the whole thing can work.

No, this model isn't PoE. I bought three and they definitely don't work with PoE. Look for the FI8905E if you need PoE

You can use an external POE(Power over Ethernet) setup to power the camera from wherever you have the Ethernet running from. D-Link DWL-P200 Power Over Ethernet Adapter

Four ports are 10/100 only (no poe) and would act like a normal switch. The other four ports are poe which will power cameras, wireless AP, ect. Normal hookup would be to plug a camera into poe port, then plug router into the non-poe port (10/100). You can also use the other non-poe ports for other devices that do not require power over ethernet.

The Foscam Website specifically states that it does not fit the FI19805W! The FI19805W appears to have a special power supply and cord for which they sell compatible extensions. I have not seen the specific power requirements published anywhere.

The specs say B/G routers only. I returned this model try looking at the Foscam FI8904 the don't have pan and tilt but are less than half the price. I have 7 cameras on my home and they work great. Foscam customer service is great, they take your number, return calls and actually perform the set-up by taking remote control of your PC.

No, this is for analog CCTV cameras only. It will not work with PoE or any ip cameras.

Sorry for the delay in answering you...things have been a bit off track because of the long Holiday weekend Here is the answer from our technical people. You need 1 unit for 4 cameras. PoE provides Power and Data for camera up to 300 feet. Hope that helps, John Duncan 1-888-445-8375

Dear IT Boss,Thank you for inquiry.This ip camera support many kinds of poe switch, you could check it our link of poe switch;BW® 4-ports 10/100M Desktop PoE SwitchIf you need to connect 4pcs ip cameras, then 4 ports poe switch is good, if over 4pcs, then we suggest 8 ports poe switch.Any further information feel free to contact us.Best regards,Teresa

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!

I got the same camera and it works fine. Note that the camera is powered by the ethernet cable. To send power over the ethernet I used a POE switch.

I can't find any evidence that this camera supports Power Over Ethernet. ADC-V721W is a PoE device.

Hello Andy,Thank you for your support,The ip camera support PoE (802.3af),not come with the power adapter now.Thank you very much.Fosfun

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

There is a new model that DOES supports POE (in fact, it drops the normal power supply connector, so you MUST use POE) - just got one off Aliexpress and it works as expected.

I'm using a Foscam FI8910W and it is working just fine. Connecting it wasn't the most intuitive, but once I figured it out it works fine.

Yes, but not using the conventional, ratified IEEE protocol. This camera pack comes with an injector for each camera, which has to be powered individually. Ubiquiti also sells their ToughSwitch PoE, which is a 5 port gigabit PoE switch. I didn't purchase it but I did use the injectors, which work fine. A little annoying when I have a perfectly good IEEE 802.3af compliant switch.
