Has anyone used Power over Ethernet?
My two Dahua CCTV IP cams just arrived and would be much more convenient to power them over the ethernet cable.
Will the cameras adjust the voltage themselves? As the optional power input on the cameras is 12v but PoE is 48v.
Does the power go through network switches? I.e. do I just need to use a PoE injector on one of the ethernet cables or does each cable coming out of the switch need a separate injector?
