Why would you think that POE IP cams would come with a power supply? Especially if it is not listed in the data sheets? If you have a POE injector, it has it's own power supply. You do not need a second one.
I guess because some of my other POE capable devices did, most recent my POE APs did. Guess I just assumed. No Big Deal. So this is why I bought the cables only...Thank you for the Injector with P/S, might just go that route.
I bought two of those. One I use every time I get a new camera to run through the initialization, set all of the parameters up in the web GUI, and add it to BI. I had thought I would use them for a couple of cams that were going to be fed to a non-POE switch, but as that switch ended up being too small over time, I bought a POE switch to replace it.
Thank you, I just ordered one...I like how the power cord is not a transformer (brick), easier to plug into my UPS...
So in order to keep my traffic separate the switch needs to be able to handle Level 2 VLAN Tagging...
, I will. I am only cabled right now for front and back CAMs...
Thank You, second hand will do...Appreciate it.
A basic Ethernet switch will have all the ports in one layer 2 domain. That means all ports will talk to each other. A basic switch does not do VLAN tagging. If you are talking about separating traffic into multiple VLANs (layer 2 domains), then yes, it would have to support VLAN tagging.
Thanks, yeah I have managed switches with 4 VLANs right now. I have tried unmanaged switches but they only worked with untagged traffic.

I know it is a bit of overkill for a home network, but since prices for managed switches dropped 500-1000% from a few decades ago, for an Enterprise network, I could not resist...
I know this is an old post but going back and reading whole thread. Great info here.
Bigredfish,
Couldn't find any, so now that I am switching to BI from my Hikvision NVR, I just ordered 1 of each from Andy, mainly because I have areas of my house that get very little to no external light so the Dahua will be better there with it's IR capabilities. But will try and set them both up at the same location to see how the Dahua fares in full color vs the Hik. E.g., in my backyard the Hik at 1/6 or even 1/12 exposure delivers an incredibly well lit picture, but motion is obviously compromised so IR would probably work better there. My front door on the other hand I can run at 1/60 (even at 1/120) in full color and thanks to the street lights across the street I get a great picture so no need for IR there.
