Yes. The cables have all been checked and swapped out with other cameras. I hate using an injector when I should be able to use the POE Switch.

So I have figured out that power is getting to the camera. The problem is the data. The switch does not seem to detect the data. The link status shows "link down". If I power it with the POE splitter and run the data back to another switch it works. Something about the data going through the POE...

Well, I purchased a splitter from Amazon and I will see if it works with the POE Switch. I will let you know tomorrow. Thanks for your comment.

I tried all of them last night. It just does not seem to like the Netgear POE Switch. I was thinking of using a TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PoE Splitter Adapter (TL-PoE10R) at the camera hoping that it could deal with the 802.3af issues and just give me a 12v source I would them plug in the camera...

I ran most of the conduit through a 4" drain that was not being used. The rest was dug by hand,

Just an update, the birds made a nest and raised a few chicks. I have put the clips together to produce a follow up video showing the nest each day from the first egg hatching to the time they flew away.

So there is a IR_Cut setting for IR Synchronous Switch or Automatically Switch. It was on IR Synchronous Switch. I have changed it to Automatically Switch. I will see what happens tomorrow when the sun comes up. Thanks for mentioning it.

Good question. I don't understand why it is so purple. I will take a look at the setup.

A bird stopped by today for over two minutes. Maybe it is going to make an offer...

This site helped me figure out some issues with my AliExpress camera. Mounted it in a bird house and I am waiting for a permanent resident. I put two videos together showing the process. The first is about the bird house. The second shows the process of getting the Ethernet cable up in the tree...
