    Can't figure this out.

    I did examine both ends with magnifying glasses, finding no anomalies. I also cut off and discarded the original RJ45s on this run, and very carefully changed both ends, (568B) ending up with exactly the same situation. Being that I've had success with 3 other cameras undergoing the same...

    Can't figure this out.

    True enough. As you may have determined I'm an amateur with this stuff. I know enough not to confound the process with conflicting IPs so instead of changing the defaults right away, which is itself something I need to study up a bit on, I just unplugged the other cams I'd previously tested...

    Can't figure this out.

    The only thing with that is.... (incomprehensibly) that if there'd been a short along the CAT7 cable's length, I shouldn't have been able to receive the audible signal independently on each wire. I'm certain without a doubt that there was no audible signal coming from the other 7 wires each...

    Can't figure this out.

    I should add...I have 2 other cameras installed with the same wire with no problem. I'm able to monitor them. I of course unplug them from the POE switch when testing the one I'm having trouble with, so as not to be using the same default IP address. I planned to change the IP addresses after...

    Can't figure this out.

    I used Sunnytech CAT7 ....the pairs are shielded with foil. Yes I used the 568B...Redid each end when I found I couldn't see the camera on-line, just to be sure. When I did the audible signal test each wire corresponded in the right order on the opposite ends.

    Can't figure this out.

    After carefully running CAT7 cable from 2nd floor to basement thru stud bays and finished ceilings etc., I put RJ45s on each end, one end to my computer through a POE switch and the other to a Hikvision bullet 8MP camera. The camera's startup lights lit up alright but I couldn't get a picture...

    Making it fit

    Thanks to AlistairStevenson and Delboy for their assistance in helping me resolve my initial problem with powering up my pinhole cams via PoE using a cheap splitter. I took a hiatus from my installation over the rest of the summer until just recently. As I may have mentioned I'd been a...

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    Accuse me of overkill but: I'm looking at a very discounted 2nd hand PowerDsine PD-7012G/AC/M 12-Port PoE Midspan. Very cheap. It is up to 802.3at specs. Would that get my 12v from the NVR to the Intercom?

    Got it. Thanks again!

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    I'm about to get as tedious as a first year arts student. "What if...what if...." So I'm starting to realize that the "active" part of the splitter is not the introduction of power from an outboard power source (wall-wart) necessarily (and that's how I wrongly conjured up the word "injector")...

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    Yes 12v. Can I ask you to look at this link? It shows what is described as an "active" 802.3af injector/splitter. Is this what I need...

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    Not that I've so well versed in the subject other than having learned about incompatibility the hard way, I wish I was informed enough as to have recognized the advantage of the "Mini" previously. For now I'm gonna stay stubborn and stick with my Hikvision money pit. Maybe you could clear...

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    Oops! Now everyone can see why I'm having trouble. Poor attention to detail. I of course responded without checking the author of the last message. But thanks to you as well as Alastair.

    NVR/camera compatabilty issues

    That is beginning to sink in, mightily. I'd imagine Hikvision feels the same way too. It's like trying to stick a VHS tape into a DVD player. Thanks so much for sticking with this and helping me out where it was possible.
