how do you mean

 

[turner brown]

i take it you have it connected to a router, hub or nvr

 

[imyeman2000]

ive connected it into an injector with a ethernet cable running from injector straight to the router i havent bought an nvr yet just wanted to see if cameras were working ok ! my current system is just the plug and play type !

Are the POE injectors the correct version for the cameras? Can't reply too well as VM Internet is down.

 

[imyeman2000]

havent a clue m8 i just bought injector online !

What make and model camera is it mate? There are different versions of Poe and they arnt all cross compatible.

 

[imyeman2000]

1 is hikvision network camera and the other is oncam grandeye !

 

[rawsy]

Do you have model numbers? I would say it’s the Poe injector you have. Do either of the cameras have a dc jack plug aswell? I have seen many hik cameras that are Poe but can be powered via a separate 12v psu

 

[imyeman2000]

yes the hikvision 1 has a power feed the other doesnt

 

[rawsy]

I would use a 12v psu to check out the hik. The I.p will be
192.168.1.64
Or
192.168.0.64
If it has not been used before. If you have bother connecting there is a tool called sadp that can be used to fine the I.p.

 

[rawsy]

One thing to mention. DO NOT have the 12v and Poe powered at the same time. What is psu on the injector rated at? I think the Poe output should be 48v

I have used a switch like this NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch (GS305P) - with 4 x PoE @ 55W, Desktop, Sturdy Metal Fanless Housing: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon.co.uk:
Successfully with hik cameras before.
