In my case? Yeah, it most definetely POE, but it is external on wire POE and it's fine when temps are less then 90 degrees. I don't know about the firmware for v1, there maybe one if you check with seller, but this doesn't sound like a firmware issue.
Wow did even know, that's bad! O well in any case will change vendors, i guess they come and go, not to many reputable companies from China.
You should move the ethernet cable to a non-poe port on the switch assuming it has non-powered ports. Power for the camera will be from the 12vdc power supply and the poe is not needed. You won't need the splitter for this configuration although if you have no ports that are "non-poe", you could use it just to keep power off the camera's internal poe board. I wouldn't leave it like that but probably OK just for the test.
Yes, that is a good idea.
I also live in California and my VI is been working good with 100+ temperatures, i recently added the external poe and is been working fine so far, It was also disconnecting here and there, I am not sure if is the temperature, I also have a Sunba camera and it also disconnects here and there, so I don,t know what to make of it, I have a good POE+ switch and all the cameras are connected to the switch.
Actually as pointed out by one nut case Hikvision NVR is supporting POE+ (even though there is no wording "POE+" according to their spec, but it does say AF and AT) so I stand corrected, looks like I have been powering Huisuns using "POE+" all that time.
| POE | ||

| Interface: | | | 16 independent 10/100 Mbps PoE Ethernet interfaces |
| Max. Power: | | | 200W |
| Supported Standard: | | | AF and AT |
Disconnecting is not normal. Did you note time of the day/temperature and how often when this happens? This is one of the symptoms of camera overheating, but could also be network related.
Well, it happened during the heat of the day but it also at night, more often during the day, and it comes and goes, it may go for a whole month without disconnecting, my switch is about 100 feet from the router and is in my garage, not sure if the heat of the garage is affecting everything.
If what you are looking for is a wider view, I think you will like the 4X. I have not had a problem with mine, up and running for about a week now.
When I first noticed the problem it was on a hot day, I had the camera connected from my POE switch to the iCreatin splitter, also had a Mic power by the splitter, I took the Mic off and just the splitter and camera but the problem still there, took the splitter of just the poe switch and camera and no change.
I am going to install these cameras on the sides of the house, right now I have Hik cameras pointing to the front of the house and the street, I want to be able to look into the front of the house and also the back of the house and that is why I purchased them and of course I like the pictures you posted they look nice.
