When you purchase a security camera, it doesn’t normally come with a power source. Most cameras today are powered over Ethernet. I’ll show examples of cameras which can be powered with an adapter and one which must be powered with an adapter. Using a power injector and splitter is another way to provide a security camera with electricity. I’ll explore using a PoE unmanaged and managed switch and compare the two. I’ll demonstrate how an NVR can also be used to power your cameras. - Наука та технологія
I really appreciate someone with an excellent command of the subject they're talking about sharing their knowledge in an personable, digestible and concise presentation - thanks!
Im newtimer in security camera's, after watch your video's i have setup a entire system, can thank you enough, thnx very much!!
WOW
to have you to hang out with for even just a day.if your not teaching something somewhere ,START,
because you have that gift
,of:
knowing it
,and teaching it, to where it makes sense.we all had favorite teachers growing up,ones that made it easy ,fun .i dont do long comments but ive been trying to figure out this pelco hd ip ptz cam ive had for a loooong time ,thank you for teaching me today .you rock.
This is really good information. Thanks for sharing and making great videos!
Wow, can't speak highly enough of this video 🙌
Love your videos. Keep up the good work
That's a nice camera, the image quality is decent.
You are the "Messi" of IP security cameras !
I learned a lot from this guy. Thank you.
Home Tech DIY videos are great. Easy to understand and to learn. I've learned more from his videos because he knows his audience "Beginners" . He keeps it simple to understand.
The other videos on youtube are fast talkers, computer geeks, and Middle East videos that don't understand their audience.
Thank you that was very helpful in understanding the options!
HIKVISION can go to 300m with PoE at a reduced data rate :) also here is a tip for you plug a PoE port on the NVR into a non PoE switch/router and you can see the Vlan camera on your PC when you do the setup. keep up the Video's and you are doing a good job thanks :)
great to know. Thanks.
I watched it two times i liked it so much..Great info
great video, lot of info in a short time
That was some schooling. Thank you very much! 👍🏻
I love your vids dude. Don’t stop soon
thank you for the good clear informative video
what a great video. The most helpful I’ve found online. Are you from freezing cold Canada as we are? Can you talk about equipment and wires that are cold weatherproof and waterproof?
What kind of UPS are you using for backup power?
You are extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. It is clear that you intended to “hit a home run” with this video. However, every once in a while, I had to replay certain portions because you spoke too rapidly. If you would slow down just a trifle, your video would be perfect! Thanks for posting this.
rewind it, or play it in SLOW motion. both are features allowed in youtube
Great Videos Thank you
Hi
Great video can I power a 24v PTZ through a POE NVR or will I need to power it via the power supply only?
You could also discuss the differences between 802.3at and af and whatever else there is. I'm guessing that 12VDC is center-pin positive?
Are you going to cover managing IP cameras with QNAP Surveillance Station and the QVR Clients? I'm almost set up, but have recording file management questions...
Good Stuff..
Great video but I can't find any videos that show if these cameras can have cables routed through a smaller hole than the gigantic ethernet connector... Do these cameras typically have a place on the cable that detaches and is much smaller diameter? Thanks!
Have to ask because You put out outstanding Videos. I want your recommendation for POE Onvif Outdoor "2-Way Audio" Camera for my front Door??? Please Thank You Joe
Which is better for long distances cat5e utp or cat6 utp for poe video intercom
If I have an NVR and wish to connect a unmanaged Poe Switch to it to cater for more IP camera POe ports the LAN Ethernet port on the NVR will be used to link the Switch and the NVR together..... so how does one then link the system to the Router for mobile device access such as mobile phones etc...if the LAN port on the NVR is already taken by the switch link?
What 4 camera system do you recommend for a house and have a tv screen showing live feed
Hello,
I have a nvr and want to add multiple camera's over a long distance. I can get about a 100m with poe, but i need more. I cannot use one utp from the nvr to a poe switch after a 100 meters, but need an injector per wire, right?
Thanks for replying
CAn you connect a PTZ IP camera with LAN connector to a dvr using a balun?
Hello I like your video but I would like to make a comment about the extension cord for the camera, The NEC states that ectenrion cable is considered temporary use for 90 days after that must be removed and a permanent solution shall be put in place.
Hi. What's your suggestion ? I need 8 camera cctv that 4 cameras need to be 100m away and 4 about 50m away and I need to be able to viwe the footage over the internet.
What sort of system will be good, it would be getting installed in a village, so wires will go into the earth and through bricks and cement etc.
I will use the one cable method with data and power in one.
Would I be able to hook up 4 cameras via poe switch then run 1 outgoing to the nvr?
I do have a coax cable port downstairs in the office and a cat5e port in the kitchen. am I able to use a device to convert that coax port into an ethernet port that way I can connect my NVR system to the ethernet over coaxial cable port and then my cameras to the NVR?
can i power the PoE cameras with adapter instead of plugging it into NVR..like comcast security cameras are!
You did not mention that PoE+ can handle 30 watts per port, instead of the 15W (works at 55V so can get more power through those tiny wires) - we even power near studio quality PTZ from PoE+ at our church. I wouldn't go with regular PoE anymore.
Hi. I want to ask about POE injectors. I want to connect 2 or 3 cameras with a PoE Extender . It says on the "IN" that max 25.5W . I found that there are 30W,60W,90W POE injector. Can I connect a 60W injector to this POE extender, or it will damage the extender?
Hello,
can cat5 or cat6 give power to an ip camera? I don’t want to purchase a Poe
Thanks
Great video, which PoE switch you using with NVR system ?
It's a 48 port PoE managed switch by Netgear very similar to this one: amzn.to/2OcLvdw
It's few years old and I picked it up secondhand for a couple hundred dollars.
Is it possible to make it poe networked from several km distance?
Hi, how to configure cisco 2960 si(24port) poe with chinese onvif protocol camera 12v 2a? It's not working without poe splitter, or maybe wrong power consumption. Advice please
Do Wifi camera consume more power? I'm trying to set up something offgrid running off solar 12v. No internet/wifi on the property. No cloud writing to 256 micro SD i will check when I'm there every few months.
What'd happen IF i plug both the power adapter and the POE cable into the camera and power it up? Thank you for your very informative videos.
I'm not sure. Maybe I will try it on an old camera.
Thanks for the video. I've noticed that some PoE systems wire their PoE cameras differently. Works great as long as you plug the cameras directly into the their NVR, but can't add PoE compliant cameras nor take their proprietary PoE cameras and add them to a other security systems. Well, technically it is possible, but you have to rewire each camera to get them to work.
NVRs without poe require a pc to configure/maintain?
I guess it depends on the model, but most NVRs should have their own user interface.
What if I don't want to record the Video output?? I just want to see the video feed while I am working in the shop.. How can I hook up the camera to a TV directly??
Do you see any advantage to using CAT6 vs CAT5 in these installations? Thanks for the great work...!
No difference. My house was built with CAT5 and I've installed some CAT6. No difference at this point.
The CAT6 standard has shielding, so here is what I am thinking: Consider where you will be running the cabling to reach each camera. Is the wire going to pass over a light fixture in the ceiling? Is the wire going to make a turn past an air conditioning unit with a [strong] motor built into it? (in a solid ceiling overhead) or past a mini-split air conditioning unit? If are gadgets that will produce EMF or RFI in some capacity, then cross-talk may not be an issue so much as "outside" interference is to consider. Also, "Cat6A can maintain 10 Gigabit speeds for the full 328 feet of Ethernet cable" (Firefold.com).
My confusion is with how to add audio to a nvr i dont know if its nvr because it looks like your nvr all in one system except i don't have it hooked up to internet i just use it to see when in my house or go back and check later type of thing. I ordered a mic and now it looks like i have to power the mic on its outside? How silly. Im trying to figure out if there are 2 wires inside my poe cable that are not being used that i could possible use to power my mic.
I have a POE 4 camera kit with a supplied in NVR. The four cameras which I want to connect in the Attic with the Cat6 cables are coming from the cameras from unusual levels. Is there a way to use a unmanaged POE switch for all four cameras in the attic and run that POE switch box to the NVR with a single Cat6 going from the POE switch box to the NVR in the house or would I need to use separate Cat6 cables going from the POE switch box to the NVR?
I have the same question that I t hink you are asking. Can you run one Cat5 cable from the switch(which has the four cameras connected) in your attic to the NVR (up link?) or do you run 4 cat5 cables from the switch to the nvr?. If you have a answer to your question or mine please reply. that is if you understand my question. just starting out and been studying newf. 's play lists .
Good video, one thing I am not sure of myself is the following. I want to setup a camera security system but what is my best option for recording?
Do I wire all cables to my network ‘rack’ and place a PoE NVR there or should I place a PoE switch there and use another option for recording, in this case what hardware should I use for recording and what should I use for programming my camera’s?
I want to acces the footage from my Imac in my home office and from my phone, total of maximal 16 camera’s.
So what is the way to go? Much appreciated in advance!
You have a couple options. You could have the cameras run over your Network, or you could connect them all to your NVR. I would connect them directly to the NVR itself. Check out these videos on mine to see your options: ua-cam.com/video/rOoCw-iZfMU/v-deo.html and this one: ua-cam.com/video/ANqIUYj2yqc/v-deo.html
Home Tech DIY Thanks!
Great Video! I have a question about the poE Switch. I would like to install 4 cameras at a more remote barn (about 50m from the house). Can i plug the 4 cameras into a poE Switch and only run a single Ethernet cable from the switch in the barn back to house and connect it to an NVR? Will the NVR show all 4 cameras? Thanks
I have the same question ;)
4 camera in PoES run 1 cable to ur house but you cannot connect to nvr directly. use router then to nvr
Onbekend talent
Great video and info.. Have a question, I have an 8 channel nvr and have used all ports. I want to add 2 more cameras and want to connect it to my switch, so all I have to do is find the ip and connect to my mobile app
Yes, the mobile app can support this but your NVR won't be able to record more than 8.
ok thanks
any assistance with where i can buy affordable IP poe cameras.
What if my camera uses a 9v dc power plug?
Any recommedation on a cable/adapter that can connect to an older BNC connection camer to a POE switch so I can run it to BlueIris?
Even if you had an adapter you cannot power an older BNC camera with a PoE switch. If you had such an adapter you would damage the camera. These cameras are passive and do not talk back to the PoE switch resulting in the camera accepting all the power possible from the switch causing a camera burnout. You could however use a PoE injector and add electricity from the camera's power adapter to the Ethernet cat6 line. It would have to be plugged into a non-PoE switch. This is the adapter you could use as along as you have the camera's power adapter: amzn.to/3d4iNEv
Backbone of cctv system
What cameras do you recommend for outdoor I'm looking to 4ch outdoor cameras
I would suggest a Hikvision 4 camera system like this one: amzn.to/2Gf6Awo
I got an old security camera from a friend because it was too old for most technology now, using a "coaxial cable." (or something) How would I wire that up, and is there something I can use to convert the analog cable output from the camera into an Ethernet digital signal? I was able to power it up with a 12 volt adapter and I tried connecting it to a television cable cable, but it didn't exactly work. any suggestions?
You'd need to let me know the exact output of the camera. If you can get it working as-is, it will prove the device can still function before adding adapters. If it's a BNC connection, maybe something like this from Amazon could help: amzn.to/2PI73fQ
GREAT STARTING POINT! Thank you.
My only concern is the times which I had to keep backtracking to hear what you said (and/or read what your said, as I keep the CC on as well). Therefore, I would appreciate greatly if you would slow down and separate words and sentences more decidedly.
Thank your for your time, and any considerations what you may accept for my concern.
is it possible to plug in the NVR LAN port into into the managed switched along with the other IP cameras on that managed switch instead of having to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Yes. For more information and a demo on this exact setup, see my videos: ua-cam.com/video/rOoCw-iZfMU/v-deo.html and this one: ua-cam.com/video/ANqIUYj2yqc/v-deo.html
When I add an external POE switch to the network, the hikvision cameras on the external switch doesnot show up on the monitor
What options do you have if you need to run a IP camera 1700 feet away? Cat 6 is limited to 300 feet.
Unless you want to run copper or fiber, your best bet will be wireless. If you have line of site to between the 2 locations, you could use a Nanostation: amzn.to/2Nk1MwB
I have the poe+ and doesnt turn on with regular router and with just power cable , In that case I need the power adapter and the poe switch to turn ob? Is a big camera speed dome, thanks in advance
If you have a PoE+ 802.3at speed dome camera, to power it you will need a PoE+ switch, PoE+ NVR, a PoE+ injector or a power adapter.
@newfiebort I have a question. I have a non-PoE IP cameras (these are 12 v output) but I have also a 54v PoE switch. Can I use my PoE for these cameras like for example I can use injector/splitter to make it work or it won't? That would mean I'll end up using power source?
You cannot use a PoE switch to power the cameras by splitting out the power at the camera. I tried this before and it will damage the camera because the PoE switch is supplying power without regulation by the camera. You can however use a 12v adapter and inject power into the network cable and split out the power on the other end.
@@HomeTechDIY if I understand you right, you mean by the DIY approach? That is, tear the UTP insulation and separate the 4 wires/threads and use that as power and the remaining as data, am I right? I saw this concept ua-cam.com/video/dP7IQ7v1wDI/v-deo.html. Is this what you mean?
I wish I found you years ago
Hi. My nvr has one Lan port. How do I connect it to the poe switch and seven cameras to the poe switch? My poe is netgear unmanaged 8 ports.
It's not common to use a PoE switch to connect cameras to an NVR, unless you have specific network requirements. The NVR's camera ports will provide power to the cameras. If you need to use a PoE switch however, you can connect the switch to a camera channel port and the NVR will find all the cameras on the PoE switch. The issue here is bandwidth as the camera channel port is only 10/100 and you might have dropped frames and lag. You could also setup the PoE switch (with cameras attached) on your home network and also connect the NVR to the network (using the NVR's gigabit LAN port). The only restriction here is a lot of network traffic but if you have a gigabit setup, it won't be an issue. For more info see my videos on this topic: ua-cam.com/video/rOoCw-iZfMU/v-deo.html and this one: ua-cam.com/video/ANqIUYj2yqc/v-deo.html
Thanks for the great content. One question: I have some IP cameras, one unmanaged switch (TP-Link TL-SG1024D), and Blue Iris on my computer. How do I connect these all to form a surveillance system? Do I need to connect the switch to my router? If yes, why can I not do without internet? I just want the cameras to stream on Blue Iris and record to the hard drive preferably without having to rely on the internet. Thank you :)
You are on the right track. Yes, connect the switch to the router and then connect your computer to the switch OR the router and BlueIris will see all the cameras on the network. The router will hand out IP addresses to everything connected to itself and to the switch so all the devices can communicate with each other. Hope this helps!
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you for the response. Is there anyway to leave the router out of this? I wish to have a cameras directly to the PC because only the PC has UPS attached to it. I wish the surveillance system to continue working in case of power and/or internet outage
@newfiebort sir, what is the preferred hard-disk (in terms of space) which can be used for 8 IP camera. Is 2TB is enough or else I should go for 6TB
Sir please reply
I would go with more space just because I like to keep the history.
Hi, pls reply, can you pls tell me how to crimp CAT cable for PoE.. should I crimp parallel or should I crimp cross? Ty
I use T568a.
Thank you very much, love your videos
Thanks for watching and I'm happy to help!
If i am using a poe switch to connect cameras, is there any need of an nvr for the cameras to be monitored remotely.
No, as long as the camera's firmware will allow you to access the camera's remotely.
what happens if you good 400 feet on a data line. will it burn out your switch box? Thanks
No and I actually test that in my MokerLink video
Are there wireless ip cameras that don't require data cables?
Great video but a wee bit fast to absorb. Thanks for video
Agreed.... I need to slow it down a little. Thanks for the feedback!
Unsure if from Sweden or Minnesota
Fantastic information but please slow down and breathe, towards the end of the video I began to lose interest. Maybe I just can’t focus for more than ten minutes, at any rate, I learned a lot. Thank you.
So this is what im wondering, Can you not go from one port of the NVR into the core POE switch, then plug all the cameras into the same core POE switch ? Then all the cams are on the same network and getting power from the POE switch . Instead of plugging 16 Cams into the NVR directly .
Technically, yes, you can run a cable from an NVR camera port to a PoE Switch and the NVR will act as a router and hand out IP addresses to all the cameras added. You may however run into bandwidth issues as this NVR port is only 10/100. You could also add the cameras to your LAN and access them through the NVR over your network and not use any of the NVR camera ports on the back. Check out my other videos where I cover these scenarios in detail.
Which model of POE switch is that? You show a netgear web manager, buy you're giving us a linksys link to amazon.
Thanks for pointing that out. It's a Netgear GS748TPS. I'm pretty sure it's this one: amzn.to/2U6K5EV
I can't see in the description if it's a managed switch like mine. The one I have is 10-15 years old.
Great info but the title says "How to Wire & Power", so what about actually running the wires from outside and actually connecting them to power? What if it's a USB camera like WYZE?
Hi, sorry for stupid question but I would like to connect 4 IP cameras to my Poe switch which will be located in my attic.. there is no direct ethernet cable there so I want to use a tp powerline extenders like the one you showed on one of the videos - would it work ? I want to use my Synology ds 220+ ( together with surveillance station package ) in this configuration so the another powerline adaptor will be downstairs and connected to my nas. I just worry that my nas won't be able to find these IP cameras .. many thanks for your advice and help ☺️☺️☺️
Hey! Your TP Powerline Extender solution should work, but keep in mind these extenders aren't as fast or reliable as a network cable. Make sure your router/modem is connected to this camera/nas setup somewhere. I would suggest connecting the Powerline Extender in the basement into the router/modem or another switch (which is connected to the router/modem) and then running network cable to the nas. Let me know if that helps. Thanks
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you very much Sir for reply! :-) Will give it a go soon ! 🤓
Hi bro, ive bought a nvr and 8 ip cameras and a 8 port poe switch. My poe switch is not powering up my ip cameras, i need to connect my ip cameras with their 12v power supplies. Any idea why.... I thought all ip cameras can connect
power via a poe switch?
The PoE switch should power the cameras. You will need to check which standard the switch and the cameras support. Also, the NVR should be able to power the cameras with its internal power injection.
Why do none of my poe ports show they're receiving power? Every one of the is "dead". This is the 2nd NVR that has this issue so I'm sure it's not the NVR. What am I missing?
That doesn't sound good. What are you expecting to see from the PoE ports? What camera model are you connecting directly to the NVR?
Working on a NVR 4.0 system and have had some "rumors" that individual cameras may have stored or cached password credentials on them, which causes the management of same to become more complicated! I don't buy this because it sounds like "overkill". Do individual ONVIF cameras have the capacity to store or cache some sort of 'Identity' certificate by default, or is this an 'For added anti-tampering security' -type feature?
Also, when encountering a ONVIF camera with significantly older firmware, my question is, 'How did these ever ship from a factory that way?!?' I could understand if the firmware was 2 or 3 years outdated, but 10 YEARS or more!?! That's a huge slap in the face to IP camera consumers and should embarrass the heck out of some vendors! {end mini-rant}
Hello my friend! I have seven cameras with hikvision 7600 nvr 8 poe port my question is can I plug all my camera into a netgear unmanage poe switch and then plug one wire into my nvr would I still get to see all my cameras please help im having trouble configuring this right now 🙏
Yes, that would work but you might have bandwidth issues if you are relying on 7 cameras to feed data through one 10/100 PoE port in the NVR. Can you connect the cameras and NVR to your network and access them individually over the network, instead of funneling them into 1 NVR camera port?
@@HomeTechDIY bandwidth issues! I haven't thought of it. I guess I won't go with that since I dont want any issues. My problem is me getting all the wires to my top floor since my house is three floors so I was planning on wire all the cameras into my garage using poe switch and then run only one cable to my nvr.
Can’t you use the injector and splitter to power the bigger camera? Or you absolutely have to power it with the plug? Please help!!
It depends on the camera. This cheaper brand does not recommend it. You'll need to check to specs to see if PoE+ or 802.3at.

This is my camera. I tried it and it works fine. So does this mean it is ok to use injection and splitter?
I'm no electrician but if it works, I personally would use an injector and splitter.
What cameras did You use
I used the Globin 18X Zoom (amzn.to/2GxbZAd), an older Hikvision Cube (Link on my blog: newfiebort.com/wire_and_power_security_cams/) and an older style Hikvision dome (see blog link for more up-to-date products)
OK i think it got it. DS-2DE3304W-DE ---> plug into a PoE ------> plug PoE into my internet router? Then i can access my camera from my phone and computer?
Yes.... you got it!

Clasified Site? Ummm but i want it! XD
The annoying thing is that some PoE switches are only rated 10/100mbps and some only offer PoE on half of the ports.
Yes, agreed. At least (for the most part) they have updated the product titles to indicate how many ports are PoE. Just recently I remember having to look at the specs to figure that stuff out.
like to find POE box to power my wifi cameras. Run a cat5/6 and thts it. Why run power supplies all over ? Must be something !!
Good question. If one is unable to run new wires for cameras, they can take advantage of an existing line. For example, in my garage, I have a line to my basement but I am unable to add more lines because the walls are finished, but I want 2 cameras inside my garage and 4 outside; I can add a PoE switch to the pre-existing line. Does that answer your question?
Isn't poe 48v not 12v?
PoE is the delivery method. Most IP cameras can accept both voltages depending on the port you are using. If delivering power to the camera using a 12v adapter, you must use the 12 port of the camera. The power can be from a 12v adapter plugged into the camera or sent over an Ethernet cable using injectors and splitters (PoE method 1). If delivering power to the camera using a PoE switch, where the Ethernet cable is plugged into the camera's RJ-45 connector, then, yes, it's 48v. (PoE method 2). Both methods are delivering power, just in different forms. Hope this helps.
I hope if u can make tranzlit language to Arabic can u make this happen our country dose have any things 🤫
on and on and on about power supplies ...not much about poe connections
Thanks for the comment. Any recommendations on additional information I could add on PoE connections in a future video?
