That is very nice ! Are you using the phone browser or a special app ?

I am looking now at the EZView app permissions and it has only permission for camera and storage. But as far as the cloud service I don’t know. Do you use these cameras with your phone and if so how without using their app ?

Yes I know that after reading the forum. But is it as not secure as port forwarding ? Currently I have no way of setting a vpn and the camera is only used for seeing who is at the door. But will using a cloud option compromise the rest of the network(which consist of android phones and tablets...

My uniview camera has this option. I only want to use it to access the camera feed remotely. So has anyone tried it ?

Thanks looney2ns for the article. What I understood from it is that with passive Poe you need to know what voltage is required by the device and supply that exact voltage. Anyway I am now using a 10m extension cable for the 12v input and will see what I will do next. Thanks everyone for your...

Thank you J Sigmo for the detailed answer! I didn’t know about the voltage step down at the camera. And yes in my setup only the camera needs to be battery-backed, all my network(which is very simple) is already battery-backed,there is no pc or nvr. And we have very cheap 24v ups’s here. The...

I am just using a simple passive Poe injector like this one: Google Image Result for https://compratecno.cl/image/cache/catalog/NETWORKING/ACCESORIOS/0018-ACCESORIOS-MIKROTIK-RBGPOE-COMPRATECNO-1-726x1000.png If I use it with a 48v power supply would it work? Anyway I will do more research about...

Thanks again for your response. As I understand the 802.3af standard delivers 48v to the camera. So wouldn’t a passive poe injector with a 48v power supply deliver the same power ? Please correct me if I am wrong in this assumption.

I bought only the camera which didn’t come with a power supply,and I have a passive Poe injector that I want to use with the camera with a 48v power source. And I don’t have an NVR,I intend to connect the camera with my WiFi router and use it from my phone. I don’t intend to record the video and...

thank you for your continued assistance fenderman. You are right about the regular ups’s but the problems with them are the size,cost and efficiency. They are more than 10 times larger than the 12v ups’s but they are much less efficient,especially at these low voltages. However I will take your...

Thanks fenderman for your response. But where I live we have regular power cutouts. Sometimes there is no power for hours so using a dc ups greatly extends the camera uptime. Edit:and I think the voltage drop will be very minimal. However,you gave me a very good idea (using splitters on both...

Thank you so much for the quick response ! I was just wondering if the camera takes direct 12v input why wouldn't it work with 12v over the Ethernet as the voltage at the camera will be very close to 12v and this makes it easier to use a 12v UPS with it. Thanks again for your response.

I have a new Poe uniview camera and I have a passive Poe injector. I was wondering if anyone tried 12v instead of 48v over ethernet. Would it work ?
