I ran a little over 100 feet of direct burial cat 5e and Plenum cat 5e to a detached garage of witch approximately 50 feet is underground in a conduit (took Q2's advice). When I use the HDE tester all the green lights blink on both ends indicating a good connection. When I plug my Dahuau SD22204T-GN to the direct burial cat 5e cable the PTZ cam does it's rotation but does not communicate with cam...connected to Plenum cat5e, nothing happens. The cables are connected to TL-SG1008P POE switch. Could it be possible the POE switch is not supplying enough power for the cam? Also thinking maybe the HDE tester might be giving me a false positive results.
I have been testing SD22204T-GN inside the house for over three weeks connected to the SG1008P POE switch with 40 feet of Plenum cat 5e with no problems.
Yes I did swap cables with all 4 POE ports same problem.
I did try plugging my laptop to both cables in garage, laptop was unable to connect with POE switch.
