Dahua 5208-8P-EI , Poe Injector 90w , 90w extender "problem"

[Chokolinho]

Hello,
I currently have ports 1-5 normally occupied by cable. I would like to install three more cameras upstairs, but there is only one cable there and I can't get another one through. I have connected the devices as follows.

NVR Poe Port 6 -> 90W injector -> Poe extender 90W -> 3 cameras = Only two cameras are found and working. Am I just too stupid?

We have told you in your other thread this will not work connecting to a POE port.

You need a regular POE switch connected to the WAN/LAN of the NVR.

Sometimes connecting to an NVR POE port can find 2 cameras, but nobody here has ever posted more than that.

I don't think an NVR POE port will work that way for you. Normally only one camera can be assigned per port and will only see one camera regardless of your configuration.

Your better bet is to connect the cameras to a POE switch and then that to the WAN/LAN of the NVR.
