oh ok, so does that mean i'd need an alternative power source?I very much doubt it; most NVR's do PoE+ and thats ~25-30W over two pair.. standard PoE is ~14W over two pair.. High-PoE aka 4PPoE is over four pair and I dont believe has been standardized yet but can do up to 100W depending.
Cheers, what would be the best option (i've never had to use alternative power) do you just get a plug where one sides goes into the camera and the other side into a plug socket? or is the a better option?
Thanks for that. Makes more sense nowAs point out, above PTZ cameras need normally 60w this means you can't connect directly to an nvr, local power is the preferred installation, but not always possible.
so to run on poe the item needed is called a midspan higher end camera tend to come with them, Hikvision cams do not.
Does dahua ptz typically come with the power feed or midspan?If your cam comes with a power supply, like my Dahua PTZ, you could always run a separate power feed cable to the camera location from the transformer. A good sturdy mount is a must.
