Is this unit also a switch? I mean, I want to connect 4 POE cameras on one side, 2 computers and a cable to a FIOS router on the other side Is that OK?

This unit is not a switch. It adds power to the cable but you need to connect the LAN ports to a regular switch and the POE ports to the devices to be powered.
59329
No, it's a POE injector, you plug in a cable on the LAN side from a switch and then plug in your device on the POE side, it basically just adds voltage to a switch that isn't POE. It's been running fine for me I use it with a home router and run 3 cameras right now. Once I get more cameras I will probably get an actual POE switch.

No, it's simply a POE injector so you'll need a non POE switch to go with it. The idea for this is those who already have a switch but it's not POE can simply insert this In between and power a device.
59331
No. It is a power injector. Devices that need poe (48vdc) are routed thru your switch then thru the injector ( w/ patch cables

It is a passive switch. The only thing this unit does is to provide power via POE.

The device is NOT a switch. It simply injects power. You attach one end of each port to your switch, the other end to your PoE device.In your case, you would connect your computers directly to the FIOS router; you would then connect the 4 PoE cameras to this device, with the other end being connected to the FIOS router as well.Because of the number of devices you need, you might be better off getting a PoE switch. I don't have recommended models, though. Good luck!

Larry,Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck

Four of the switch ports are PoE. The other four are non-PoE. Plug one end of the cable into one of the non-PoE ports on the switch. Plug the other end into one of the LAN ports on your router (I assume you are using a consumer-grade netgear/dlink/linksys or equivalent... any consumer-grade router will work in this configuration.)

Yes for this model but remember that it will auto power Poe camera and other standard Poe device but it will not power any assess point that use passive power like mikrotek and Ubiquiti. Beside this issue the switch is a great product and netgear Support is very helpful in getting you up and running if you need the help

Yes, this unit is PoE. That's the only way it works. If you don't have a PoE switch, it has an adapter for you. If you can get a chance to read a PDF manual all the details are stated there.

That is correct. It is not set up for POE but you can make your own POE cable and use it that way.Search the web for making a POE cable and give it a try

Yes, but not using the conventional, ratified IEEE protocol. This camera pack comes with an injector for each camera, which has to be powered individually. Ubiquiti also sells their ToughSwitch PoE, which is a 5 port gigabit PoE switch. I didn't purchase it but I did use the injectors, which work fine. A little annoying when I have a perfectly good IEEE 802.3af compliant switch.

Larry L., I am almost sure you cannot. Being this is an IP switch, each device is going to get an IP address. Also, if you are using PoE, Not sure how this would work. THEORETICALLY (and I am stretching my knowledge-base), you ca have another switch at the far end and have the cameras plugged into that. But I believe there is a 1:1 relatioship for PoE port to Cameras... I'll be interested in finding out if it does work though!

This device is an injector only, not a switch. For each connected PoE device, you must also have the respective LAN port connected to a switch. And you'll need 2 AC power outlets, one for the injector and one for the switch. You're probably better off with a PoE switch (my preference).

Yes, they are. I have two of them connected to my DS412+ going through a TP-LINK TL-SF1008P for POE. It took me a while to figure out how to configure the cameras, though, because they ship with a fixed IP that used a different subnet than the rest of my network.

Any PoE switch or PoE injector should work. If you have more than one camera I would recommend a PoE switch such as the TRENDnet TPE-S44

No. No smart or unmanaged switch can be configured. It CAN power an IP camera, but you can't assign the bandwidth. Buy a managed switch for that functionality.

Dear IT Boss,Thank you for inquiry.This ip camera support many kinds of poe switch, you could check it our link of poe switch;BW® 4-ports 10/100M Desktop PoE SwitchIf you need to connect 4pcs ip cameras, then 4 ports poe switch is good, if over 4pcs, then we suggest 8 ports poe switch.Any further information feel free to contact us.Best regards,Teresa

POE is not built into this Foscam model but Foscam offers a couple of different adapters such as this one...http://foscam.us/accessories/active-poe-splitter.html

Not with this switch. This would switch 4 mice between 2 dvrs. I believe they do make a 4-way switch though.

No. This is for supplying power and data to a POE device. I use it for POE cameras.

PoE switches automatically sense the need for power. Either use the (4) ports that are not PoE (first), or just let the device decide. This unit only has 4 PoE ports out of the 8 total.
