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, can't speak highly enough of this video 🙌

This is really good information. Thanks for sharing and making great videos!

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.

Love your videos. Keep up the good work

That's a nice camera, the image quality is decent.

I learned a lot from this guy. Thank you.

You are the "Messi" of IP security cameras !

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?

Thank you that was very helpful in understanding the options!

I watched it two times i liked it so much..Great info

I love your vids dude. Don’t stop soon

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.

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 video, lot of info in a short time

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!

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...

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?

What kind of UPS are you using for backup power?

That was some schooling. Thank you very much! 👍🏻

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 4 camera system do you recommend for a house and have a tv screen showing live feed

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.

thank you for the good clear informative video

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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?

Which is better for long distances cat5e utp or cat6 utp for poe video intercom

CAn you connect a PTZ IP camera with LAN connector to a dvr using a balun?

RJ 45 Ethernet cable needed? cat5/6/7 which one is best?

Would I be able to hook up 4 cameras via poe switch then run 1 outgoing to the nvr?

Great Videos Thank you

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?

can i power the PoE cameras with adapter instead of plugging it into NVR..like comcast security cameras are!

Hello, can cat5 or cat6 give power to an ip camera? I don’t want to purchase a Poe

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?

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

Is it possible to make it poe networked from several km distance?

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.

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?

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 will use the one cable method with data and power in one.

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.

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

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?

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

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?

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

any assistance with where i can buy affordable IP poe cameras.

Do you see any advantage to using CAT6 vs CAT5 in these installations? Thanks for the great work...!

@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?

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??

@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

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.

NVRs without poe require a pc to configure/maintain?

Good Stuff..

If i am using a poe switch to connect cameras, is there any need of an nvr for the cameras to be monitored remotely.

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.

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.

What options do you have if you need to run a IP camera 1700 feet away? Cat 6 is limited to 300 feet.

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.

What if my camera uses a 9v dc power plug?

When I add an external POE switch to the network, the hikvision cameras on the external switch doesnot show up on the monitor

Great video, which PoE switch you using with NVR system ?

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!

Which model of POE switch is that? You show a netgear web manager, buy you're giving us a linksys link to amazon.

what happens if you good 400 feet on a data line. will it burn out your switch box? Thanks

What cameras do you recommend for outdoor I'm looking to 4ch outdoor cameras

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

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 ☺️☺️☺️

Thanks

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 :)

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?

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 .

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 🙏

Are there wireless ip cameras that don't require data cables?

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?

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!!

Backbone of cctv system

Unsure if from Sweden or Minnesota

I’m new to security cameras , are they ntsc , pal ….. or completely diff animal??

I wish I found you years ago

What cameras did You use

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?

Great video but a wee bit fast to absorb. Thanks for video

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.

Hello, thank you for your video. I just subscribed to your chinal. Can you explain to me, please? I just bought the POE Network Video Recorder, Zjuxin 48V - 16CH 5MP Smart.265 NVR (1080p / 3MP / 4MP / 5MP) Supporting up to 16 5MP IP cameras Two hard drives included I have 6 CCTV cameras of 5V. But my CCTV cameras is not a POE system. I would like to know what I need? Active 5V 2.4A PoE Splitter IEEE 802.3af Adapter or Splitter Kit + Injector PoE Adapter Power Supply by Passive Ethernet Cable RJ45 1 Pair 5 V 12 V 24 V 48 V SVP Gigabit PoE Splitter, USB Micro 48V to 5V 2.4 A Ethernet adapter, Works with Raspberry Pi 3B +, IP camera and More Ethernet data rates 10/100/1000 gigabit or Mbps I don't understand anything lol Thank you for your help. but what watched in your video if I have POE switch then no need those stuff with I need directly cameras, but this 5V need injecter or slitter? thanks, advance for your help.

The annoying thing is that some PoE switches are only rated 10/100mbps and some only offer PoE on half of the ports.

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?

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 !!

Clasified Site? Ummm but i want it! XD

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}

Wiring schematics security camera with 7.5 power c supply an audio and video ccord

Isn't poe 48v not 12v?

I’m distracted by how much you look like a guy I went to school with lol I am having a hard time listening n have to repeat again n again! Not funny! But lol anyways 😂thx for the great informational video, I should have it memorized by now as many times as I’ve gone back an watched again to see if you were him!🌬🫧what a airhead I know! 😂

on and on and on about power supplies ...not much about poe connections
