POE Injector for IPC-5442T-ZE

[d5775927]

Recently, my IPC-5442T-ZE got reset and the NVR could not find it.
Long story short,I had to use a power adapter to connect the IPC to my computer in order to reset the camera.
Unmounting the camera and mounting the camera again (not fun, since it's outdoor install).
I want to be ready if this happens again, If I had a POE injector, I could have disconnect the IPC from the NVR and connect it to the computer.
I know I can buy a POE switch, but I prefer the injector, since it's smaller and cheaper (and will rarely use it, hopefully).

What POE injector should I buy?
1. Passive/Active ?
2. how much volt (I know the camera requires 12V and 2A, but I know the NVR uses 48V, so i'm not sure....)?
thanks

According to specs, cam uses max of 6.9w on POE.

I have and recommend this one, it has been working great for 2 years now ==>> iCreatin Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter 48V 24W Power Over Ethernet for 802.3af Devices
It's an active 802.3af-compliant, gigabit POE injector, capable of 24 watts.

there was a spreadsheet made back in the days that listed all of the recommended POE injectors

A great idea, but FWIW, I just looked at it and it's 3 years old...a lot has happened in that time frame.

Bought one of these for a stand alone to the switch, always works when needed;

It's a good unit, but it does have a furnished, external wall wart to provide the 48VDC to the injector, so it's a 2 piece unit.

Also my recommendation for a slightly newer model TL-POE160S that has POE +, and complies with IEEE802.3af/at standards and supplies up to 30 W

PoE+ Injector

The PoE+ Injector TL-POE160S fully complies with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, and can work with all IEEE 802.3af/at PoE compliant PDs (Powered Devices) or PoE Receiver Adapters.
