@wirestyle22 said in Security Camera w/ POE Injector:
the camera has a 12V DC power supply. Do I need a specific POE injector? I'm assuming I do.
If the camera has a power supply, you do not need power. there is no other reason for PoE except to power the camera.
I'm looking at POE adapters here: https://www.ubnt.com/accessories/poe-adapters/ I see that there are different voltages. I'm assuming I have to make it higher than 12V and I'm okay?

No, that is not how that works. Are you trying to simply fry everything?

I don't know how it all works, that's why I'm asking. It's hard to ask the right questions when you don't know what the right questions are

You need to get a PoE injector that matches your voltage and amperage requirements for these devices.
Not just anything..
-
These cameras will have a voltage and average requirement on them, find injectors that match, buy those and install.

Yeah. My confusion comes from the fact that the specs page just says POE and 12V DC. Reading the manual.

You can start by not just randomly guessing shit. and answering the questions asked.

It has the option of one but we don't have something to plug it into (they are very high up). I have only ever set up a POE injector with the UAP and thats made for it so it didnt require any research
You just said it has a 12VDC power supply. Either it is using 12VDC or it is using PoE, not both. Which is it. FFS, stop and think a minute, then clarify WTF you are trying to ask.
Answer this.

@MattSpeller I do not continue to help people that do not listen. I am freely giving my time when I participate in threads like this.
This time of mine is the ONLY way I get paid. So giving it freely is not something I squander.
-
I don't have a way to power this outside of POE
-
I do my best to follow direction but my knowledge is much lower than yours @JaredBusch . Try to have some patience with me please. I appreciate your help.

The manual has this information:
Power Source and Power Consumption
WV-SFR311 DC power supply: 12 V DC/340 mA/Approx. 4.1 W
PoE Device: 48 V DC/130 mA/Approx. 6.2 W* (Class 2 device) -
Here are the power requirements
WV-SFR311 DC power supply: 12 V DC/340 mA/Approx. 4.1 W PoE Device: 48 V DC/130 mA/Approx. 6.2 W* (Class 2 device) WV-SFR310 DC power supply: 12 V DC/310 mA/Approx. 3.7 W PoE Device: 48 V DC/120 mA/Approx. 5.8 W* (Class 2 device) * ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.

"PoE Device: 48 V DC/130 mA/Approx. 6.2 W* (Class 2 device)"
This is what you want to look for. With POE transmitters, shouldn't be too hard to find.

If this is the case why did you say you had 12VDC?
You do not have12VDC power. You have PoE only. and you injected a random bit of info from the manual about using 12VDC to a PoE discussion. This would be a problem.

I thought it related to the POE power consumption of the device and it doesn't.

WV-SFR311 DC power supply: 12 V DC/340 mA/Approx. 4.1 W
PoE Device: 48 V DC/130 mA/Approx. 6.2 W* (Class 2 device)So you have PoE and this is the voltage you need. 48V with 130ma / 6.2W available.
48V is standard negotiated PoE, that almost everything uses. You can find these anywhere. You just need to find a unit that supports the power you need.
UBNT famously uses the 24V passive PoE standard for the UAP line and is not a company you should be buying PoE injectors from.

Brand not withstanding something like this would work.

I use these when I need third part injectors for something.
