Maximum POE IP camera run?

APM · 28 Feb 2016 at 22:20

Hi,

what's the longest all weather external run of cat5e or cat6 I can hope for when installing a POE IP66 external camera please?

Probably be using one of these,

or the 4 port POE version to run the camera/s which will probably be Hikvision branded.

Thank you.

Ah,I thought that was a POE out switch.

How about a NETGEAR GS108PE-300EUS?

Says 45W so over 10W per channel out?

Should power a camera with no issues over 30/40m of cat5e?

Cheers,

I've been looking at Hikvision cameras,they generally say PoE powered and leave it at that.
What should I be looking for?

Good thinking,definitely a better starter option for me to get a single camera up and running.
I didn't know wether to start with the switch or the camera but I think I'll start with an injector instead.

I run several Hikvisions off an HP JG921A if that helps

Do you know if your cameras use 0.5A or 1.0A (amps)?

12v probably too?
