[ Solved ] Need help : IP camera output power question !


Recruit

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

 

 

 

I have a question regarding power output of an ip camera.


To my gate currently I have a outdoor ip camera that uses 12V 1A.

 

Due to I do not have any power sockets to that place I used a PoE ( power over ethernet ) kit from TP-Link.

 

Now I want to change old camera with a new one that requires 12V 2A.

 

In the manual of the PoE kit has been mentioned that it gives only 1A for 12V output. ( last page )

 

http://static.tp-link.com/resources/document/TL-POE200_v2_User_Guide.pdf

 

Question : Does the new camera work with this kit ? In case that it will not work, what solutions might be applied ? Something like this ?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Active-PoE-Splitter-Power-Over-Ethernet-48V-to-12V-2A-for-IEEE802-3at-24Watt-/112026619178

 

In this case I need to change only the splitter with that from above, and the injector from TP-Link can be kept, right ?

 

What about passive solutions? Are these enough reliable with original power adapter ?

Thanks for replies !

 You need a new ac power adapter capable of outputting the required amps & there are other considerations no one knows but you.

How long is this network cable and what are the power wire it contains sizes.

The network cable (CAT5E) has about 45 meters and it is crossover....

standard sizes from the PoE kit, it has about 1-1,5 meters.

It won't work with 1A (maybe some functions will and others won't, it depends on the internal board layout)
12V @ 1A equals 12W

12V @ 2A equals 24W

Get a new adpter that supports a wide range of Amps/Volts.

Luck.

Thanks friend ,

 

Please tell me which way I need to choose regarding the two possibilities :


1. Keeping the old injector from TP-Link and to replace only the splitter. The input of injector is 48V.

2. Using original adapter from the ip camera with a passive PoE kit.

 

Unfortunately,  I wasn't able to find a new kit with output of 12V 2A, apart of passive kits , about I don't know too many because I did not use them until now.

 

Also I have and other cameras connected with the tp-link kit, but none of them required more than 1A  .

 

Thanks for reply !

There's a lot of injectors that support what you need, like here.

Passive injectors are really easy to handle (I've worked with them) so you'll be able to find the solution.

Luck.

Solved : I got some time to install and this camera.


Everything worked fine with PoE passive cables and with the original power adapter.

 

Big thanks to  @masterupc for tips.
