I have attempted to power up 4 IP cameras with this switch, but it only provides "Uplink" to 3 out of 4 of the cameras. Is this unit defective?

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

Never had ANY issue with these units. Purchased many 4 and 8 port models. Intermixed with IP Camera and/or IP Phones. NEVER and issue. Suggest you use a qualified tester to ensure the ethernet cables end to end as this could be the cause. Sorry that I could not be of more assistance.

Make sure all micro switches are switched to POE, and that you are not exceeding the recommended Power Draw....If still having problems return for another or get in contact with company for warranty.

Switch your devices to different ports to determine if you have a bad port on the switch or a bad device. Or can you use any three devices on any three ports? In which case you must be exceeding the capabilities (total watts) of the switch.

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.

I had the same situation basically. This switch is a great device to do just what you want. Just remove the Cat5 plug from the DVR and insert it into the UPLINK of the switch (from the Bridge plug into the uplink. Now just use Cat5 to plug your Blue-ray device and your DVR device into the switch, but make sure you don't use the plug immediately next to the uplink port! That last port does not work in the 5 port model of this switch. Now just power up the switch and all should be working!

This is a switch. You can connect upto 8 cameras / devices to it (4 PoE and 4 others). If all you want is a local network (aka, a closed system) then this switch is all you need. If you want to connect to another network (Ex: the internet) you would then connect this switch to a router.

It works many branded IP cameras, I have a Wansview and works okay. Best to hard wire it with CAT5 and run it through a LAN switch. I tried using it wireless (you would need to buy a chipset that would connect it wireless-Ralink), but connectivity didn't do well to my Buffalo Air Router.

Its a pain but you can upgrade it to unifi through ssh connection and some work. I gave up with a bit of trying and trouble getting support to understand my questions.Once you do this you must make sure your cameras are also on unfi as well. You loose a feature or two but it fixes some issue with monitoring and latency.

You could but you should know that the bandwidth of ip cameras can consume a lot. So depending on how many you intend to use and also the configuration of the AP's (how many will be repeating) it can bog things down quickly. Remember that if you are repeating, it takes away half of available bw for each time you repeat.

I had the same problem, until I realized that the other wire was a standard cctv power wire..same as on the cameras. Just plug it into an extra adapter cable.

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

I have only a little experience with this. I used it to remotely hook up a PLC device. This device is very picky on protocol. I believe that it works for me is because my software has a wide range of comports and the USB over IP set up a virtual COM 12. It's works smoothly where other devices have failed. So, I would say it depends on the software you are using to monitor your UPS.

i have the same issue with a new Syslink router. Just a lot of data moving with four realtime cameras and it probably needs a dedicated network. If the frame rate of the cameras can be reduced it would help,

It should work with IP cameras. I'll have to check the specs. As for viewing, you can view 4 cameras on screen. 8 cameras or all 16 at the same time. Additionally, you can single out any camera to view full screen. Hope this helps

Yes. The unit has an 8 port switch built in for connecting the 8 cameras. Each port provides POE power to the connected camera.

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.

The cameras I'm using are IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 48vDC. Not sure if this is common or not. It's what I have.

Yes. I just plugged all my ip cameras in and have had no issues for at least a year. I'm sure VoIP equipment will work fine too as most is class 2 with power requirement of 7 watts. Class 3 requires 15 watts. If you need to setup VLANs I don't think this one can be managed but not sure.

I bought two of them to set up a wireless bridge from my house to a wireless web cam and they work excellent.I am not sure what you are using them for, when you mention switches. All I can tell you is that I needed to buy 2 of them to send the signal from 1 of them which is used as an aceess point to receive the signal from the router in my house and then sends the signal to the other unit which is connected to the web cam across the street.The second unit receives the wireless signal and feeds it to the web cam. I am very satisfied with the units and reccomend them to anyone that needs to set up a wireless bridge.
