Can this be powered directly from a PoE switch or does the injector have to be used? If the injector must be used can it cause latency?

It uses a proprietary voltage that won't work under the standard 802.3af or 802.3at. There's no choice but to use the included POE injector.

Yes. It came with a 'cost effective' PoE injector. Don't expect to get the 300 foot Ethernet distance limit out of it. But it works!

I have tested this with a POE Injector and it does work. Here is what I used to test and only to test.WS-POE-8-48v60w Passive 10/100 Power over Ethernet PoE Injector for 8 IP Cameras, VOIP Phones or Access Points, 48 volts, 60 Watts Total Power I have to warn you about poe injectors and switches, make sure that when you get a POE injector it has a surge protection. Not all do this and can blow an IP camera out when there is a surge.

IR does work with PoE. There is a setting to turn off IR, perhaps the reason for this comment

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.

Yes, you need to install The power injector between the powerline device and the access point. Not between the switch/router and the first powerline device. Powerline devices will not transmit POE power. Hope this helps.

What do you want to use this unit for (extender, access point, bridge)? This unit comes with a POE injector (Power Over Ethernet), so you will need two Ethernet Cat5 cables. One from your switch(router) to the POE injector (data only) and a second one (POE + Data) to the unit itself. The POE injector comes with its own power supply which supplies power to the unit as well.

It comes with a simple proprietary PoE injector which you must use. It can't be powered by standard 802.3af/802.3at PoE switches or injectors, nor does it have a power input jack directly on the device.This product's simple proprietary PoE implementation is limited in range: It doesn't support full 100 m (300 ft) Ethernet twisted pair cable runs, after about 25 m the voltage drop is enough to cause random reboots when using maximum transmission power. This fact isn't mentioned in the manual.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

Yes it comes with a power supply but will also work with POE so no supply will be needed if your switch supports it.

There are adapters (power injectors) you can purchase that lets you send the power over the Ethernet cable. The adapters go on both ends of the Ethernet cable. However, most POE switches will not recognize it as a POE device. Therefore, it won't send the required voltage out to power the device , you still have to use the power adapter that comes with the camera. This is good so you don't have to have a power source close to the camera.

The POE (power over ethernet) comes from a POE compliant power source (e.g. injector or switch) to provide power to your cameras. The powerline adapter uses the electrical wiring in your home to provide the ethernet communications. The power for the POE camera would not be provided by the Powerline adapter, however, the Powerline adapter should be capable of providing the "ethernet" communications for the Injector or switch. FYI, use caution when connecting POE power source connections and LAN connections, basically the LAN connections is connected to the ethernet source and the POE connection is connected to the POE device.

This model doesn't have poe on it. Some do. You would have to use a poe injector. I use the BV tech 16 port poe. They also make a 8 port and 4 port. Reasonable priced and good quality.

Not sure I understand the question but I use this POE injector with gigabit switches all the time.

Yes, every Ubiquiti device that I purchase from Amazon had an individual POE injector with it. Please note that Ubiquiti uses a different voltage then other common POE manufactures. I tried to used this camera with a Netgear POE switch, but it didn't work. I had to use the enclosed POE injector.

Actually Luc Roy, Your wrong... This switch can be powered from a POE switch. I plugged this switch into a Meraki 24Port POE switch this morning and was using 7W of power to power the switch. It Than also powered to Access Points. Hope this helps.

Yes you need to have a POE device, you don't have to buy a new router/switch though. You can buy an injector such as this one TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter, IEEE 802.3af compliant, Up to 100 meters (328 Feet) I did a measurement on the load of this device and with everything hooked up it draws about 4.5 watts and with the LEDs enabled it bumps up to 5.5 watts. This is your best low cost choice. If you want, there is also a barrel power connector pig tailed onto the camera. But it doesn't come with a power supply and I don't really know what the power requirements are. You would have to buy the power supply after finding one that works.
