Is it possible to use a Ubiquiti PoE Injector for the Hikvision Camera?

[z3r0r0]

Camera model: DS-2CD2622FWD-IS Camera
Ubiquiti PoE Injector Model: POE-48-24W or POE-48-24W-G

Hello guys,

As the title says, can you use the mentioned PoE Injector (POE-48-24W or POE-48-24W-G) to power up and connect the Hikvision Camera (DS-2CD2622FWD-IS).

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Yes

 

[gpower07]

NO.

 

[z3r0r0]

NO.

Why no??

 

[alastairstevenson]

Why no??

These are passive PoE adaptors.

 

[z3r0r0]

These are passive PoE adaptors.

As far as I know, I saw other installations and Youtube Videos with hikvision setup that use PoE Injectors.
Like in this link

Maybe you're implying that it is not recommended to use PoE Injectors but it is possible to powered them via PoE Injectors?

Ubiquity Passive POE injectors are 24volt which is not the voltage of the POE standards aka af and at standards, which I believe are 48 volt injectors. Your camera needs "af" standard injector. -Bill

They are passive and you get them in 48v

Why?

It seems no one has agreed on an answer. Ubiquiti are not active they are passive. Powering POE devices is not a problem. Active devices prevents accidents such as using the wrong voltage. So it’s okay to use a 48V Ubiquiti POE injector to power IP camera. The poor guy just wants an answer. Let’s agree yes or no then discuss merits and reasoning.

Before we discuss merits and reasoning, I'd think it relevant to the subject under consideration to understand why @z3r0r0 wants to use a Ubiquiti PoE Injector to power a Hikvision camera.

 

[bob2701]

Maybe because he has one??

Yup. I have one. Just want to make sure that if it is compatible or not.

Thanks for your straightforward and understandable answer. Might as well try it as soon as I get the camera.

The camera spec is indeed 802.3af which provides for a range of 37 to 57V, nominally 48V, as is the output voltage of the PoE injector you listed. Also, the max current for 802.af of 15.4W is within the capability of that injector 24W rating. Looks like it lines up just fine to me.

Sorry to bring this thread up but I just want to share my experience in case someone else is still looking for an answer:
Ubiquiti POE-24-12W with PoE 802.3af and
Hikvision DS-2DE2204IW-DE3/W with PoE 802.3af

even though they both have the .3af standard - it's a no go for my situation, won't power at all.

 

[alastairstevenson]

Ubiquiti POE-24-12W with PoE 802.3af

What's the full model number of that device?
It appears to be a 24v passive PoE injector, no mention of being 802.3af compliant.

 

[georgedb]

The model is GP-A240-050 - thanks for looking into it!

 

[alastairstevenson]

The model is GP-A240-050

OK, so that's a different model from that first quoted.
But it's still a passive 24v PoE injector, with no mention of 802.3af compliance.

The camera requires either 12v DC, or an 802.3af PoE source for power.

Got it off a website that wrongfully listed it as 802.3af compatible - will look for others now, such as the TP-Link TL-POE150S - will this be appropriate ? Thanks again!
