Don't mean to hijack this thread
. You are quite the pro! I've seen my share of computer rooms with rows of racks, patch panels, and cabinets. Patch panels give you a lot of flexibility to reconfigure your wiring. I would if I could, but no room for patch panels and racks in my house
It is back in the living room, I've tried the Poe injector, Poe+ injector, I also tried a Poe splitter which I would assume is the same since it used the power plug and not the Ethernet to get the power. I've not tried a wall wort, I've got the one that came with the PTZ but I think it only had bare wires, I'd have to rig it up. It doesn't make sense though that stuff that worked before now doesn't. Tried a couple different cables also even though those all worked fine with the turret. My cables are all 5e or 6.
I've reset the camera repeatedly, well I pushed in the button, I haven't seen any network activity from my switch or laptop NIC, like when you plug the camera into the injector and the other plug into your laptop you should see blinking lights even if the IP is on a different subnet. When I power it up I don't hear anything, see the ir lamps come on, nothing.
No, I get nothing on the switch, on the Poe+ injector I get lights but they don't blink, it's like there's no NIC activity on the camera.
You were powering it off of a pretty basic 48v passive poe injector earlier iirc?
Yes, and it was working fine for probably a week or so, I don't remember seeing anything about a heater in the web interface, it did mention a defog.
Try the 12v barrel jack before you do any other troubleshooting.
so then I would just need another heater module if I wanted to have a heater on it, or disconnect it?
Okay so I have one of these Amazon.com: USG PoE Splitter To Power Non-PoE Cameras: "Splits" Incoming PoE Signal To 12V DC Power + RJ45 Ethernet Video, 10/100Mbps, 15.4W Per Port, IEEE 802.3af, True Plug-&-Play, Auto Detect, Designed For HD IP Video Surveillance Systems: Computers & Accessories I'm assuming I can't run POE+ through it though?
