Can I run two cameras off of the same cat6e wire?

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

No, each camera has a power requirement that is met by one port on the PoE 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!

No. Each camera requires a dedicated cable from the POE switch to the camera.

No and yes. This system uses a dual (Siamese) cable for the cameras. One is a coax used for the video signal, and the other is a two pair for power. The system comes with the cables. If you really have to use your cat 5 wiring, you could try something like this:12x Camera CCTV BNC CAT5 Video Balun Transceiver Cablebut I have had pretty mixed results with the baluns in general.

I am sorry you can't. Only support 2 analog cameras and 2 ip cameras at the same time.

You could but you should know that the bandwidth of ip cameras can consume a lot. So depending on how many you intend to use and also the configuration of the AP's (how many will be repeating) it can bog things down quickly. Remember that if you are repeating, it takes away half of available bw for each time you repeat.

I am not too sure. If the camera's have a socket for this ethernet connection then surely its possible.

very user friendly plug into electrical outlet and use the monitor ( uniden ) to set up to 4 cameras. cameras should auto pick up frequency on the uniden monitor.

We are currently working on our cameras. We have had an ongoing problem with them not staying on wirelessly. So with the help of a neighbor we have ordered a network switch to assist our router. We ran cat 5e wire yesterday and as soon as the switch arrives we will have them all hardwired into the house. Hopefully this will solve our problem with the cameras not staying on. We have all cameras running on regular household extension cords.

You can connect as many as you want to your wireless router or they can also be connect via ether net cable as well. If you create a My DLink account you can associate the cameras with the account. On the My DLink website you can view the associated cameras one at a time. You can not view all of them at once unless there is a way that I am not aware of. There is also a My DLink app for the IPhone and Android which allows you to connect to any camera associated with your account one at a time.

Yes, you can absolutely have the cameras be just on your local network (wifi or wired). There's are actually fewer steps required to do this this way.

This answer is cut and pasted from CCTV Forums (http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t;=24827): You'll probably want to use one pair for each camera's video, and another for each camera's power. If you have a separate Cat5 for each camera, I'd suggest one pair for video, and two pairs for power. In my installs, I use the blue/white-blue pair for video, orange/white-orange for power positive, green/white-green for power ground, and leave the brown as a spare. If that doesn't help maybe this site will: http://www.pimfg.com/ifaq/videobalunfaq.htm. Kevin Adams may have a better handle on this.

You can't double up on these over the same network cable - it wouldn't work. If you're asking can you supply power from the same power supply to two devices, the answer is yes: first, you'd have to be sure the power supply could handle it; then use a splitter on the output side. Look at DC power splitters here on Amazon.

The Ethernet port you plug your camera into must be a (POE port) which can be on your DVR already, or you can use a POE switch which has designated ports for your cameras which will provide power for them.

Yes, that's how I ran - one Ethernet cable. The separate 12V connector is in the case you don't have a POE switch.

No. They run very well on I.E. or Crome. I have 12 going right now. If you want to see several cameras at the same time you will need to use I.E. though. I don't have much bandwidth so I only view two at a time in different windows...

You will need either RG6 coaxial (BNC connectors) or Cat5 (need BNC baluns). I ran two , a Cat5 & Cat6 (bigger wire). I wanted to have my video(dbl up on wires) and power in separate runs (Better quality video). Also you will need to get it's own power supply. I don't remember the voltage, But I ended up having to use the "brick" pwr supply off of an 8 camera pwr splitter.. decent cctv for $$$.Hope it helps.

no this is a pass-through so you can run one cat 5 cable for 4 cameras and you will need to of the converters on each end. I have 4 cameras connected but two ports work fine and the other two have issues I wiggle the cables and it works again. its a nice option when you need to put your dvr in a remote location with limited access. Hope this helps ..

The quick answer is Yes...but it may not be the best approach. I have done this in situations different types of camera systems are running on the same location. It would be helpful to know more about your needs.
