Can I just use this for providing power to the camera? I already have it setup with WiFi just fine.

Yes, you can use this just for power, simply do not connect the male ethernet connectors to anything. Thanks
1751382
Yes. Just don't plug it up to a switch on the network or else you'll have an additional IP to worry about.
1751383
Yes, you can use this one to provide power. but please make sure the adapter is compatible with your camera. I can confirm Forcam FI8904w is able to use this adapter.
1751384
Yes. This should work with no problem. Just don't plug the feed side into a network switch and the camera shouldn't even know the Ethernet has anything connected camera side.

That is exactly what I bought it for. It works perfectly. The camera itself is not plugged in. The power is coming from the cat5 cable. Having a wired connection allows me to make setting adjustments without having to bring the camera back down if it ever loses it's configuration. I hope that helps.

Assuming you are planning to use the extractor (included) and that it has the right size power connector: yes. If you have a PoE IP camera and need to inject power for it, this is not the device for you. This is passive PoE, not active, which is why it's so cheap. Also, like others have said, it won't work well over very large distances, although that can be worked around by using a different power supply that pushes a higher voltage over the line. Just be careful doing anything like that.

I wouldn't for WiFI. I was suspect as to whether or not one would actually work. With a wired connection I might give it a shot. I would worry that you might get too much voltage drop and the camera might crash or you might have WiFi signal issues.

absolutely, you just need to use the right cable with video, power and ground. Its included when you purchased the camera.

Hi,Yes, as long as the camera needs less than 1300 Watt.Regards,KarenCS Email Representative

if you put 'chargeable' batteries in it you could charge them but outside of the camera. I don't believe there is anyway to have external power with this camera.

Yes, this camera has a network jack in the back that allows you to use it "hardwired". It does need to be plugged into power regardless if you are hardwired or wireless.

Certainly. Use your dedicated cable and hook to use. You could also remove the chip and plug to appropriate adapter for chip to use. Look at your instruction manual page 23 or use the built in guide in your camera

You can unplug power cord at back of camera body... or if you are concerned about your WIFI security just cover the camera with a towel

you must have power over Ethernet (POE) switch to power up the camera. or plug in standard compatible power source to camera.

Wrong.These cameras require 7.5w via 48v POE. Most routers cannot deliver this type of power. in 99% of cases you will require a POE injector. A company by the name of WiFi Texas , makes a nice set of POE injectors. I have used them for camera projects at 4 of my business's locations with over 300 cameras.

Yes. I usually do not do wifi but simply use memory card port on computer. And, I think I have a cord that will plug from camera to computer but am not sure of that right off top of my head.

You need to either have a POE switch or a local 12v power adapter to power the camera. Most home routers do not have POE built in.

Though I have not tried that, I don't see why not? There are several WI-FI based and hard wired single camera systems that do exactly what you want and are very inexpensive.

I don't know because I have not tried it but I can't see why you would want to do that since the camera comes with computer and electricity connections.

mine is connected to my camera system with the coax siamese cable. any power supply from a security camera would work. you probally could use an old poer suppy from an old router if you have

I can't imagine why not. It's just a "regular" ethernet device. (FWIW, I'm _very_ happy with the camera.)
