I would agree. Probably needs to be classified as PoE+
Got my 2nd camera a couple of days ago and set it up in my garage to test it out and assign it a static ip. I then moved it to my backyard. I have an approx 100' run from the house to our fireplace area where the cable terminates near an electrical outlet and then about another 25' run to the actual camera location. I was going to use a bran new $18 PoE injector I have used in the past, but the camera would show a picture, but the PZT would not work. As a test - I then moved the injector to the camera so there was only about 2' of cable, and it still would not work.

Back to drawing board - I connected it to my existing $80 4 port PoE Switch and it worked fine

But, I already have another Huisun camera on this switch and I got to worrying about if it would supply enough power for two Huisun cameras and two Hicks. The specs say the switch is rated for 53 watts which should have been enough juice, but I would rather be safe then sorry and started looking at other PoE injectors.
I started looking at PoE+ and found this one for $32 which is rated for 30 watts

But then I decide to hell with it and just bought a new 7 port PoE switch which is rated for 124 watts but cost $130

I am happy to report that both of my Huisun cameras work fine now and show 11.7v using the onscreen display
I guess I am now forced to buy some more cameras other wise my old 4 port PoE switch is going to go to waste...
