If this is a PoE camera, why does the photo show an antenna?

My picture doesn't show an antenna. In any case, power and Ethernet/Internet connectivity are two completely different things. Power over Ethernet (PoE) means that 2 unused wires (one + and the other -) in the WIRED connection supply power; beware that PoE voltages vary (12/24/48 v are typical) so be sure and use the right power injector! In this case, video and maybe audio will come back over other wires in the cable. If a camera has an antenna, it probably uses WiFi for its Ethernet connection, but almost always will require external power, especially for a camera like these with LEDs for target lighting.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

none. Wall transformer or an ethernet POE switch and a power splitter at the camera.

No, it's a POE injector, you plug in a cable on the LAN side from a switch and then plug in your device on the POE side, it basically just adds voltage to a switch that isn't POE. It's been running fine for me I use it with a home router and run 3 cameras right now. Once I get more cameras I will probably get an actual POE switch.

Larry, Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck

PoE simply means it can be powered by just ethernet if you're using a PoE switch. Usually hard wiring PoE equipment is the desired outcome, but I don't think there's anything to stop you from getting a wireless antenna and using that. However, you'll have to plug the camera in somewhere.If you don't want to use PoE, the non-PoE version of this camera is ~$20 cheaper and an antenna is ~$7. There's also a two pack with antennas for ~150.

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

No antenna mount, The camera fits inside with the standard antenna. I installed a Foscam F18910W.

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.

Aircam uses Passive POE and doesn't work with IEEE 802.3af. (I hate it when people choose to ignore standards!)

I did buy the Ubiquiti Unifi AP Outdoor with dual antennas and it did come with a POE injector. It was somewhat larger than the ones that come with my indoor APs from Ubiquiti.

A 2.4gzh wifi antenna for a router will screw onto either camera or monitor. You should be able to find an extension in computer wifi antennas. I have several laying around that screw right on.

I haven't installed mine but I don't think it supports PoE, this is the website with the specifications http://foscam.us/foscam-fi8906w-outdoor-wireless-ip-camera-139.html

The camera itself is not, it hooks to and is controlled by a DVR. The DVR however is Ethernet capable.

The camera is "Wireless". The only wire is the power wire to the backup lights.

The POE (power over ethernet) comes from a POE compliant power source (e.g. injector or switch) to provide power to your cameras. The powerline adapter uses the electrical wiring in your home to provide the ethernet communications. The power for the POE camera would not be provided by the Powerline adapter, however, the Powerline adapter should be capable of providing the "ethernet" communications for the Injector or switch. FYI, use caution when connecting POE power source connections and LAN connections, basically the LAN connections is connected to the ethernet source and the POE connection is connected to the POE device. My Foscam POE cameras work nicely integrated into my home automation system.

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