Thanks guys. You have given me new peace of mind regarding the active PoE functionality. I was sure, 5 years ago, that a piece of equipment had been fried by a PoE issue due to incorrect cable management by someone who had no training. In retrospect, it was probably just a coincidence. He...

You're right of course, I shouldn't need to, but I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of power potentially going into a socket that is not designed to accept it. And the antenna has a non standard POE injector. Not sure how they would play together, and frankly, why take any chances if you can...

By any chance, are any of your long runs connected to an 8mp or higher resolution camera? I'm looking at using 8MP telephoto zoom for these locations as well because of the long distance coverage required. All of my experience so far is with 2MP cameras. Thanks again.

Well....just discovered that Dahua's ePoE switches (at least the 4 port and 8 ports) have one RJ45 network port and one SFP fiber optic port. Naturally, I need 2 RJ45 non-PoE ports to connect to the NVR and to the antenna. So, it will require an adaptor. (I'd just make a special cable with...

Unfortunately, I'm adding 3 independent hard wire zones, each with 4-6 cameras, connecting to an existing 3 zone network. Each zone has its own recorder and they are all connected via wireless bridge to a central control room and the entire thing is configured as one single system. I use a...

Thanks, Razor. That was the feedback I was hoping for. I have to buy the equipment before I can test it (which I will do before any installs) and I'm really hoping to avoid making a mistake buying equipment that can't work (and I'm just too ignorant to know that yet).

Will do. Thanks. From what I know so far (and I have more reading to do...) ePoE is a Dahua proprietary thing. So I guess that would mean a Dahua ePoE switch, unless the other topics reveal other options that might work. I'm constrained by no ability to introduce any device within the runs.

I've searched the forum for an answer to this and I'm drawing a blank. I have several new camera runs that will exceed the standard 100m Ethernet limit (about 150m). Dahua has ePoE capability on some of its cameras they claim can go out to 800m. My setup uses a separate PoE switch and I don't...

Hello Andy. Are you still able to get the IPC-HFW5831E-ZE. I have a project that will need as many as 15 of them, but I see your AliExpress store is only showing 1 available. Did I misunderstand? Thanks. -Rick

Looking over all the specs, I couldn't see if this is Auto Focus (or Zoom). I did see one entry where "Focus Control - Fixed" was listed. Is this auto focus or must it be manually focused after adjustment? Thanks.
