Does it provide ONLY power boost OR power AND DATA boost? Should I buy 1 per 2 cameras so the wire OUT has less traffic on it? EX: 3 UNITS:6CAMS

Sorry for the delay in answering you...things have been a bit off track because of the long Holiday weekendHere 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 Duncan1-888-445-8375

It is better to have a little extra power, than to max out a smaller unit. Also depends on how long the device is running... if it is on all the time a a slightly higher unit will work better in the long run.

This answer is cut and pasted from CCTV Forums (http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t;=24827): You'll probably want to use one pair for each camera's video, and another for each camera's power. If you have a separate Cat5 for each camera, I'd suggest one pair for video, and two pairs for power. In my installs, I use the blue/white-blue pair for video, orange/white-orange for power positive, green/white-green for power ground, and leave the brown as a spare. If that doesn't help maybe this site will: http://www.pimfg.com/ifaq/videobalunfaq.htm. Kevin Adams may have a better handle on this.

The seller (WiFi-Texas com Inc) knows what he talking about. I have 5 Foscam cameras (combination of 8910's and 8907's). Trying to use 2 of them in series can cause boot-up problems on Foscams.. As seller suggests - use a active injector / splitter to avoid this.

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed.The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.

if you used them on multiple cameras with multiple units you are going to need multiple units to capture 1 per every camera. You set up a wireless network between the camera and the unit you are using laptop or tablet

Not to this unit. There is an 8 channel unit that allows for up to 8 Cameras from this same manufacturer. Everything is the same except that unit also has a larger memory

Hi Eric, I would find a better power supply, we installed 6 of these and 3 went out in the first month, they also onlyput out about 900ma per zone, we replaced them all with 12v 2amp single transformers on a power strip!We also only had 4-5 dome IR cameras per power supply. Rich

dun be disheartened that it is wired. For wireless cameras, you will still need power wires for their continual power supply or each cam. I doubt you wanna reply on rechargeable battery packs for each cam?Installation with wire rising up from wall plug, may turn out uglier than this 2(video+power)-in-1 cable system, that usually runs from the DVR set area, and ALONGSIDE the ceiling edges, or HIDDEN above the false/board ceiling. This is a nice set with versatile settings and customisation. My 3rd Zmodo set.

This balun dosent support power, it's only used to transmit 4 video channels through one Ethernet cable. You have to use the camera power adaptor, or use another balun that supports power and video.

I am using 7 of this camera with Blue Iris software on a pc.and using 3 of them on a Dahua NVR (same brand) at a diffrent location. It's always better to use the same brand NVR .be carful when buying NVR some of them say that they support 16 cameras but they only support 4cameras at 3mp. So if you are trying to connect 16 cameras at full 3mp then you need to by a more powerful NVR or buy multiple NVRs.

The large LEDs do use twice the current as most cameras. It does sound like a power supply issue / voltage problem at the camera. any way to see if you are getting 12volts at the camera in black & white mode? Agree with Sam on bigger powersupply & cable. I soldered my connections.

You aren't going to get twice the power from two cards. You'll get roughly 1.5 times the power, more graphics give diminished returns. It will double the power consumption and heat though.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?
