    So it looks like the passive POE injector will work with the 8023af POE switch? Just want to be sure I got this correct.

    Did they come with the passive POE injectors or the 8023af POE injectors Tony linked above?

    Thanks so much Tony. So this should plug directly into the 8023af POE switch and then the nanostation?

    Oh jeeez! So glad I asked first. Is there any reason at all plugging the passive POE injector into the POE switch would NOT be recommended?

    I have never used these before so I'm hoping someone that has could answer some questions. I want to connect 4 cameras on a garage that are connected to a poe switch with no nvr. I would like to send the signal over to the main building where the nvr is so that all cameras are on the same NVR...

    Do I need to cut the cable on these coax cameras ?

    I have 8 cameras I was planning on converting from coax to IP. I thought I would be able to just unplug the camera from the coax but it looks like these are hardwired into the camera? I couldn't see a way to get to the end of the cable. Does anyone know if I have to cut the cable on these...

    THANKS! this has been driving me nuts. I will try changing it back to H264 and see if that works. That would suck because I will prob lose a couple days of recording though...

    Are the browser plugins downloads built into the firmware?

    Are the downloads for browser plugins to view the cameras GUI built into the firmware or do you need internet access to download them? I've never tried to install one without being connected to the internet before. Curious because of the install I'm doing wont have internet access.

    Able to log into camera GUI but saying no signal??

    It doesn't seem that the camera is recording now with this POE injector even though it is powering the camera enough to be able to log into the GUI...I downloaded the last half hour recorded and it was video from when I had it connected to the POE switch! Is there any reason this POE adapter...

    Able to log into camera GUI but saying no signal??

    Now I'm wondering If maybe I'll have to by a DC power supply to power the camera so I can use a direct cable from the camera to the laptop nic.. I don't understand why the way I have it now isn't working though.

    Who here uses CBR and why?

    I'm curious, who here uses CBR and why.. I have always just left my NVR on CBR as it was the default. Until recently when I had to setup a camera without NVR just onboard flash media for recording. This led me to do some reading, I found a good majority of people recommend VBR with no...
