UNV indoor cube camera

[alimo11]

When I started here I didn't know anything about networking so I started small with 2 UNV indoor cube cameras that I purchased here at the ipcamtalk store. Followed this dual NIC guide and got everything setup with a $15 unmanaged gigabit switch and blueiris on my old gaming pc. Now that I've had it up and running for a while I wanted to expand a bit by adding an outdoor bullet cam and using a poe switch instead, as I won't be able to power this new camera where I'd like to install it.

Changing out the old switch with this poe switch I got from amazon, and I can't seem to get the indoor cameras to turn on with poe. Do they just not support poe? Can't seem to figure out where that may be mentioned in the camera manual or anything online. They work fine on this new switch while powered individually, but at least one of them I was hoping to use poe and move to a better location. Any help is appreciated. I still haven't received the bullet cam I ordered so just trialing poe for now before I have to install this super long run for the outdoor cam

The indoor cube cam's operate on 5VDC according to the link you provided.

You could use an indoor POE-to-5VDC splitter such as this to power those cube cams from POE and not the external 5VDC wall wart==>> Micro USB Active 5 Volt IEEE 802.3af PoE Splitter for Remote USB Power Over Ethernet to Tablets, Dropcam, Nest Cam or Raspberry Pi, Use with 10/100M PoE Switches or PoE Injector

Awesome thank you! That makes perfect sense, I can't believe I didn't realize it before. I even came across a wiring diagram showing a poe splitter on some devices but obviously didn't understand what that meant. Appreciate it!
