I just bought myself this camera, seems ok feature wise (why couldnt they make it so the wires would come out the bracket instead of cuttable if you can reach it), but I have an interesting problem, I have 3 POE cameras plugged into a Netgear JGS516PE switch all working fine (one hik one dahu one generic) all connected to
Blueiris
I plug in this new Dahua 1831CPIR to a POE port and all it does it flash on/off green led on the switch and never seems to power up (Red IR led or green power led never comes on) if I give it a quick plug of direct 12v into the power point (literally a half second quick tap of power then remove the 12v plug) while also plugged into a poe port it then powers up and runs perfectly fine just via POE (white led bright light and everything work fine so must have enough power via poe for everything) with no 12v power at all.
Ive unplugged all the other cameras from the POE switch incase insufficient power was a problem, but that makes no difference, no power on with just POE plugged in.
Does this camera need some extra juice during initial power-up, maybe a POE+ switch which can supply upto 30w per port perhaps? or is there something faulty with it, before i spend more $$ on a more grunty switch (or maybe just a 15w injector will do just for this camera?)
Anyone have a similar experience?
