    You need to look up the specs of your NVR. If the ports don't support POE+, then it can't power your camera. You'd have to use an...

    Yes, all POE switch ports can be used with or without POE equipment on the other end of the link. The ports auto negotiate with the end...

    This is the exact one I'm using to power a outdoor POE passthrough switch which also, in turn, powers my 5A4M. Working solid and no...

    Yeah, you don't need that power supply if using a POE+ switch or injector. An injector is the easy route if your current switch doesn't...

    Haha. Yeah. If don’t need the 45x zoom, then I still think 5A4M is the better camera. Might as well take advantage of the larger sensor...

    Doubt it. But, yes, you need lots of light to run color at night. That is why I chose that camera. I have lots of light AND the 5A4M...
