Ahh yeah that makes sense - I’m pretty sure they were set static IPs

How do I find that out, if theyre connected to an unmanaged PoE switch connected to NIC 2 ?

Hi, I have the following- NIC 1 - 192.168.0.20 NIC 2 - 192.168.1.2 Managed switch - 192.168.0.46 Poe switch - connected to NIC 2, IP 192.168.1.?? the cameras were on the main network but I’ve since plugged them into the PoE switch.

Hi, yes this is the physical layout. For the IP config - I will check that when back home. Previous to this setup, I had the cameras running directly from the router via a different PoE switch and these had an IP assigned to them from the router config. Sure I had to do port forwarding on there...

Hi, this probably something really simple I’m missing …. so I have the following hardware (UK) Virgin Media Hub Zyxel GS-1920-24v2 managed switch Zyxel GS1008HP PoE switch HP elite desk PC (2 network cards) and the wiring is as follows: ROUTER -> managed switch Managed switch -> PC...

I ended up buying this: https://www.zyxel.com/uk/en/products_services/8-24-48-port-GbE-Smart-Managed-Switch-GS1920-Series/specification GS1920-24v2 According to that spec the max power consumption is 22.5w and it's fanless - Heat dissipation (BTU/hr): 76.73 compared to the other products...

Thanks - I can get this for a decent price (£165) - if it's worth it https://www.dlink.com/en/products/dgs-1100-26mp-26-port-poe-gigabit-smart-managed-switch

Thanks for your reply! The upgrades above are coming in at £100 or so so probably 4 times cheaper than a new build. These upgrades should also bring the power consumption down at a guess. On the second network for the cameras - just so I have this right, would it map out like the following...

Hi, I am currently running BI 5 off the following; HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF I5-6500 @ 3.20Ghz 4 Core 4GB DDR4 RAM 2133MHz OS HDD - Western Digital 500GB (WD5000AZLX-60K2TA0) Cam recordings HDD - Seagate Skyhawk I have 2 cams running currently (Starlight Varifocal Turret IPC-HDW5231R-ZE @...

Hi, I have the above camera for sale - bought from EMPIRETECH ANDY from these forums. It has not even been opened from the DHL parcel it arrived in -due to a change of building work it is now no longer required. I have the wall mount bracket for it also. Please let me know if you are...

Yes, that’s what I meant - to both power the cam and provide it with network access I need an injector with 2 ports, one to provide the power from the injector itself and secondly so the network access from the PLA can be passed through the injector to the camera. I just wanted to confirm this...

Will it work to connect a PoE injector to a PLA? So .. camera -> PoE injector -> PLA ? Presumably I’d need at least a 2 port injector. A switch could also do it but I’d never run another camera at this location and I have a switch at the router already.

Hmm .. must have just terminated it wrong, it would only connect the camera when using a crimped end. Could be the socket itself, I do have another so can test with that.

sorry if this is a dumb question .. Does PoE carry through walk sockets ? So a cable connected from the PoE switch into a wall socket, and a cable from the camera terminated in the back of that wall socket .. I am guessing this don’t work but thought I’d check ?

Great, thanks :) The last piece of the puzzle is how to tidy up that cable on the inside.. I can think of 3 options 1. Mount a faceplate at the height the cable goes out to the camera, and have a cable plugged into that running loose down the wall into the switch 2. Mount a faceplate at typical...
