Hi
I have a PTZ ip camera which is power by a POE injector. I assume the power its getting is 22w as this is what is specified by the camer maker. The Camera has a RCA plug for a mic so I ordered a simple mic which needs to be powered.
Now I dont want to run another seperate power cable just to power the mic so Im looking at the option to use a POE splitter with power through so my question is if the current POE is providing 22w and I use a POE splitter to power the mic, then from the mic power out into the power in of the camera, will the PTZ camera receive enough power as I assume the POE splitter will bring the voltage down for the mic, and output this same low voltage which in turn would be too low for the camera, is this how it works?
Thanks, Daniel.
