Im running a 30w injector to a dome camera which works fine until the ir kicks on then the 30watts is not enough power.. would turning ir power down affect the cameras power consumption? Is there a more powerful injector i could use?
Thanks

So cranking the ir down did not help the power issue..

I guess i need to know can i get an injector that safely supplies more power.. and if not...

Can i run romex 12-2 uf along with cat6 thru conduit without too much interference?
Thanks everyone

it is a proper poe splitter? what is the power draw specs for the camera?
what kind of cable are you using? how long is the run?

That is not poe+...
The problem with crap cameras is their reliability...furthermore auto tracking (as it is implemented in these cheap cameras) is simply ineffective in the real world..its a gimmick.

Can you recommend me a splitter off amazon?


As far as the auto tracking, it does fine for me on my property..

until you have two objects it tries to track or a fast moving target, now you will miss the relevant important footage...hope you have a few fixed cameras that can actually be useful...
You need a splitter that supports 802.3at

Don't be cheap on the items that are going to be powering the camera that's just asking for trouble
