Thanks. That's exactly what I intend to do. My main concern is that the power demand of the illuminator and camera is too large for an individual POE supply from the NVR
Not sure I understand what you are suggesting here. The CAT5/6 cable is 30-50 ft. The 12 volt cable from the splitter would be only 3-5 ft so I would expect the voltage drop from the splitter would be minimal. I guess, I would restate the question. ..
Given that I am not overloading the total...
I'm new to this so please be gentle!
I am looking to install illuminators with some of the installed cameras and would like to power them via POE.
The NVR is a Hikvision DS-7616NI-12/16P and the datasheet doesn't specifically mention POE+ but quotes a maximum total 200W from the POE across all...
