I would like to make sure this is a POE camera. Meaning POE from the switch to the camera, not an adapter.

The two I bought are powered straight from the switch to the camera, no adapter.

Yes. And if your camera has the setting, make sure you set it to "uncontrolled" PoE; some PoE devices can talk with each other and adjust power, but this doesn't.

I suspect no, but I am not certain. If you are not connected to the Internet but just want to look at your cameras from a computer which is wired to the switch using one of the non POE ports while your cameras are wired to the POE ports, it would probably work, but no guarantees. If you are connected to the Internet, I would use a router for the firewall that most routers provide.

I have tested this with a POE Injector and it does work. Here is what I used to test and only to test. http://www.amazon.com/WS-POE-8-48v60w-passive-Ethernet-Injector-cameras/dp/B0086SQDMM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1403580667&sr=8-5&keywords=poe+switch I have to warn you about poe injectors and switches, make sure that when you get a POE injector it has a surge protection. Not all do this and can blow an IP camera out when there is a surge.

Yeah. If you had a non-PoE camera you would want a splitter to split thet data from the power since you would power it with a wall wart or something besides CAT 5/6. If your switch does not provide PoE to the camera you can use a PoE injector to provide power and data to the camera and back to your DVR or whatever. Hope this helps.

Yes you need to have a POE device, you don't have to buy a new router/switch though. You can buy an injector such as this one http://amzn.com/B001PS9E5I. I did a measurement on the load of this device and with everything hooked up it draws about 4.5 watts and with the LEDs enabled it bumps up to 5.5 watts. This is your best low cost choice. If you want, there is also a barrel power connector pig tailed onto the camera. But it doesn't come with a power supply and I don't really know what the power requirements are. You would have to buy the power supply after finding one that works.

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

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.

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

I don't think that will work. The system allows for only 4 cameras to be seen at a time. Poe switch provides only power not video. Thank you.

This is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) camera. That means it can get power directly from the Ethernet cable and does not need to be plugged in to 120v power line. Standard Ethernet routers do not provide power so you need to add a device between your Ethernet router and the camera that adds (injects) power onto the Ethernet cable. There are several ways to do this; you can add a PoE Injector, PoE Switch or a PoE Network Video Recorder (NVR).

Unfortunately I cannot answer your question; I purchased 3 of these units to run over POE and was never able to get them to work. They were shorted to ground inside the case so if you mounted them on anything that was grounded. (A metal Building) they would not power up. I spoke with tech support and then helped me check a few things and then determined that it was our network hardware. I would disagree with them because we are running 2 other IP POE cameras and 8 POE phones off the same switch and everything else we have works fine.

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!

No it's Ethernet port does not support PoE. Its DC In port is its only intake for power.

Yes, this unit is PoE. That's the only way it works. If you don't have a PoE switch, it has an adapter for you. If you can get a chance to read a PDF manual all the details are stated there.

You do not have to use the same brand NVR but it is recommended. You do not need a POE switch to power these cameras, you can power it using 12V. You would need a STANDARD switch at the least though.

No, each camera has a power requirement that is met by one port on the PoE switch.
