Interesting edit on the PoE power pairs. Could be having some affect, but not sure. I think I've taken power out of the equation by using a PoE injector and not having the PoE switch supply power. In one of my earlier tests, the camera with PoE injector works fine from the 24 port main...

Was my first thought, so tried a bunch of different cables ranging from old cat5, to cat 5e to cat 6. And, the camera works fine plugged into the 24 port switch with identical cable.

Arjun - When I first got the camera, it had a static IP. I hooked it up to a laptop with the PoE injector and tested it out. Then I tried hooking up the PoE switch. When that didn't work, I put the camera back on the laptop and set it to DHCP. That still didn't work. The current...

I spent the weekend trying to figure this out, but have pretty much given up. I have it isolated to an issue between the switch and the camera. I have the camera hooked to a PoE injector for power (to eliminate power as a factor). When I plug it into the Unifi 8-150 it shows up in the unifi...

Going to switch to the Unifi networking forums and see if they can help

Tried resetting the switch - no help.

I have the 8 port 150W Unifi switch US-8-150W. Just tested the camera again in the switch. No IR = 2.34W, with IR = 2.78W. When plugged into the switch, no communication. Put back into the poe injector to my main non-poe switch works great. My network configuration is pretty simple. cable...

Thanks for all the suggestions and hints - I finally got it working. There seems to be some issue with my Unifi managed 8 port POE switch and the camera. If I plug the camera into a POE injector (I had a spare Unifi POE injector) and into my network it works fine. When I plug it into the PoE...

This is my only IP camera - the POE switch is just part of my general network. I will try a standalone setup tonight directly connecting a PC to the camera and POE injector and see if I can get it to respond. Thanks

The config tool found the camera after I set a proper search range - it said the camera was not activated and unitialized. I tried initializing, but it fails with message 'network error, maybe timeout'. Is it possible I have a dud camera?

I currently use blue iris as an NVR steaming RTSP from a old analogue speco dvr. Looking to eliminate the dvr and convert to new IP cameras. I connected the camera to my existing 8 port Unifi POE switch. All the documentation stated it should default to 192.168.1.108. From what my router is...

I received a new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE from Andy (great service), but am stuck as to how to get started. I opened the box, and connected the camera to my Unifi POE switch. The switch shows 10/100 and POE+ drawing 2.76W. The guide says the camera should come initialized to an IP address of...
