Can I Hook this camera up to a POE NVR? If so which NVR should I buy?

Vince, Just call Foscam support, wait 20 minutes for your turn, and tell them what you want to do. They'll walk you through the whole set-up. Just be at your computer with the camera. and be willing to spend about 45 minutes on the phone. If you have difficulty, they will take control of your computer and set everything up remotely. Fantastic, huh? Craig

Yes, you can hook this camera up to a POE NVR, choose Synology NVR, best in it's class

Your IP cam needs to be able to handle multiple POE voltages. The poe injector does not do it by itself.

There are adapters (power injectors) you can purchase that lets you send the power over the Ethernet cable. The adapters go on both ends of the Ethernet cable. However, most POE switches will not recognize it as a POE device. Therefore, it won't send the required voltage out to power the device , you still have to use the power adapter that comes with the camera. This is good so you don't have to have a power source close to the camera.

POE is not built into this Foscam model but Foscam offers a couple of different adapters such as this one...http://foscam.us/accessories/active-poe-splitter.html

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

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

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

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.

you must have power over Ethernet (POE) switch to power up the camera. or plug in standard compatible power source to camera.

any device that needs power and not plugged into the wall electrical or a POE switch will need its own. this injects power onto one ethernet cable to one device. the NVR that you plug your IP cameras into is probably a PoE switch and therefor you are covered.Also PoE switch is less expensive compared to several of these injectors and a cleaner install also with less wires and less electrical plugs. there is a 16 port switch with 8 being PoE that is less than 8 injectors plus a 16 port switch.

That is correct. Ethernet is also PoE to power the camera. This unit is not a toy, it is a serious security camera. If you trust your security monitoring to a wireless network, then you deserve to be robbed. There are plenty other wireless robber cameras available!

the camera runs at 100Mbs.... So you'll want at least a 10/100 switch. If you are doing POE, it'd need POE on it as well.

The camera has a short (maybe 6 inches?) cat5 cable with a female end attached to it that will connect with your cat5 wiring. I doubt you will find anyone selling this camera along with cables that allow the camera to be connected with your router. In my case, I needed 60 ft of cable. I purchased that separately. The length of cable you need will depend on where you mount the camera, and where your router is located. Search for Cat5 patch cables, and look for one that is the appropriate length for your installation. You may want to do PoE (power over ethernet) which means you only run a Cat5 cable, and not a separate power cable, since the PoE device can transmit power through the Cat5 cable - so your network traffic and power all run through the single cable. If you have a power outlet close to where you want the camera mounted, then you don't need the PoE, since you can just use the included power supply.

If your DVR provides 48V on the ethernet port you plug this camera in to, you'll be OK. Otherwise you'll need a PoE injector.

I'm guessing it's a mistake in the description. In theory you could have 8 ports with only 4 of them delivering power to the cameras (i.e. POE ports vs non-POE ports), but I don't think that's the case with the 7608. That said, I can't be sure because when I ordered this from TechVideo it came with no nameplate or designation and the firmware reports a different (presumably OEM) model number. The NVR I received does in fact have 8 POE ports. I'm currently running 5 cameras, all POE.

I have non POE cameras so I had to purchase POE converter boxes so that I could hook network and power to my existing cameras. However, if the camera is built for POE.....plug and play. I have all 4 POE ports powering 3 security cameras with POE splitters and one POE access point. I have not had to touch the switch for months. Exactly what I wanted and once again, TrendNet delivered at a fraction of the cost!

Any PoE switch or PoE injector should work. If you have more than one camera I would recommend a PoE switch such as the TRENDnet TPE-S44
