Why can this product not be used outside with PoE to an outdoor camera?

Hi Kevin, I recommend you try our CABLE-V010: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CA2X5W6. It's a full copper cable. The CCA cable my get hot when running power over it instead of just data. However, a full copper cable handles power with no issue at all. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

Add - On: I actually believe there is pigtail that you can use a plug-in transformer too, but the whole point of using POE is having one wire from your network all the way to your camera.

Yes you can use these cameras outdoors however they need to be placed under a roof overhang or some kind of cover to protect them from the elements. I've had my system up and running outside for close to 6 months and they are as good as gold.

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

The camera needs 110V poer from an outlet . And also the bullet range is equipped with Power over Ethernet support and can receive both power and data over a single Ethernet network cable. This allows the camera to be placed in areas that aren't close to a power outlet and allows users to switch between Wi-Fi and PoE, optimising installation possibilities and making it perfect for installers and end users looking for a convertible and flexible solution. Please note: Using the POE capability of the camera requires the use of either a POE enabled switch/router/hub, or a separate POE injector to supply power to an Ethernet cable. The camera can not Pan or Tilt . it's fixed . You can view the camera's live on your iPhone and also playback the recording on the microSD card (sold separately) in camera.

Assuming you are planning to use the extractor (included) and that it has the right size power connector: yes. If you have a PoE IP camera and need to inject power for it, this is not the device for you. This is passive PoE, not active, which is why it's so cheap. Also, like others have said, it won't work well over very large distances, although that can be worked around by using a different power supply that pushes a higher voltage over the line. Just be careful doing anything like that.

I found that issue to be a problem as well. I've tried several solutions: First, cut off the power receptacle flush at the molded Y connector. It is not necessary if you power the camera with PoE. I have had no issues as a result of cutting it off. I've also run my Cat6 cable coming from my switch through the wall and used the Dahua-furnished cover to protect the connection outdoors. I had to drill out the RJ45 cover to accommodate the diameter of the Cat 6 cable. I have also put in some low-voltage remodel boxes in soffits, cut a small slot on the exterior metal cover and slid the cable into it, then stuffed the excess cable into the soffit. And last, I had a Foscam camera with a similar issue and I cut the Ethernet connector off of the pigtail on the camera, ran the camera's cable through a small hole, and then re-terminated the Ethernet connector on an RJ45.

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. As long as your cameras are weatherproof then you can run this outdoors I have some of this wire and I put it under the siding on my home so it's not really exposed to much weather but it can still be used outside. I don't think it should be exposed directly to sunlight though. I do recommend to run it in conduit if it's going to be directly exposed outside to protect from criminals with wire cutters and the weather in general since it's pretty thin. I just ran mine under the siding under my home so if you have siding that's a good place to hide and protect the wire. Yes, this cable can be used outdoors.

The camera is not weather proof and should not be used as an outdoor camera. Sturdiness of the cameras in terms of `drop test' depends on the ground being dropped on and height. Pretty sturdy though.

Technically speaking, this is not an outdoor camera. However, contrary to what others may tell you or you may read, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.

It says it's and indoor camera but if it is protected from the elements by a covered patio it should be ok. The camera is a wireless ip camera and does not have to be hardwired.

I would search for an outdoor rated wire. I wouldnt consider this to be an outdoor cable unless you are running it in a conduit. For your POE question that is better answered by your power source then factor in the frequency of the cable. Here is a calculator to help. http://beyond-wifi.com/poe/poe-calc.html

Even though the camera is rated as suitable for outdoor I wonder how well it will stand up to the elements. Also, I think 800' exceeds the cabling standards for Ethernet by a wide margin but you should check on this. I think you may need to go with a commercial grade system.

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

you could use it outdoors, but I wouldn't without some protection. See e.g. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/cablingcat5/f/cat5outdoors.htm

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

If you can, try it on another poe device. It could still be the poe card in the camera has failed... you could also pin out the cat5 cable to check the supply voltage.
