Hi, all - Sorry for what seems like a basic question, but I'm useless when it comes to this stuff.
Months ago, in anticipation of getting my camera set-up, I purchased a Netgear F116P POE switch (8 POE, 8 non). This item was supposed to be new, but without box. It looks brand new, but when I went to use it yesterday I discovered a problem.
The included power supply is 12V 2A whereas the switch says it requires 48V 1.47A. The switch turns on, but is obviously underpowered and will not provide POE.
Easy enough, right? I thought so, but all 48V 2A power supplies I find online have horrible reviews for overheating and burning out. I found one that is rated very well, but is 48C 1.25A --- would this work? If not, is there a reliable source for power supplies that I should be looking at?
Tagging @nayr since these are the Dahua Starlights and he is the king of Starlight info. I'll be powering a total of 6 cameras.
Appreciate any advice - so confused trying to figure out what I thought would be an easy thing!
Thanks everyone!
