    cat5 splitter

    Would a cat5 splitter work to send the signal to my camera and also POE power to a aux IR light. The IR light is 4 watts, the camera is 6.5 watts with the built in IR light on (I would disable them so it would actually draw less power), my POE switch has 110 watts available, so I should have...

    Visible LED on front of cam?

    OK I know IR is not visible to the eye from all I know but I have to ask. On my new Hik 4MP bullet 2CD2T42WD-I3 I noticed I can see a red led in the dark on the face of the cam. Forgive me if I have missed a little or a lot but why is there a visible external led on this? I really don't want...
