  1. tomcctv: Would I be able to use this TP Link 5-Port? I ask because I found it for under $10. Or do I need something that specifies PoE? Thanks in advance for everyone's help
  2. Compudoc, Yes i think that's the issue that i seem to be having (based on reading information from the link that '51cent' provided me with The reason why I was trying to use the powerline is that I have a deteached garage, which makes it nearly impossible to run cat5 cables. I could minimize the amount of cameras depending on the use of powerline, and just use 2 or 3. I was looking as options on amazon for power inejection?? Can I use this to power up my cameras? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YGLCQQK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487541473&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=icreatin+poe+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41BN3CroSkL&ref=plSrch It is a iCreatin 12V POE power inejection. I called Lorex to see if I could trade-in/exchange for a wireless system and was told that I would have to purchase the new system. So right now I am trying to work with what I have. Thanks in advance for the help
  3. Tomcctv: I attached a picture of how i am trying to install them. I was planning on using 4 powerline adapters (I can plug in 2 cameras per powerline). Sorry for the delay in response. Thanks for the help in advance.
  4. Hello 51cent, Thanks for the reply. Do you have any suggestions for POE power sources that I could look into? Would I have to open the powerline adapters and modify them? Thank you,
  5. Hello, I am new here and hope I am posting this in the right section for support. I am trying to install a Lorex NVR (16 channel) camera system with POE cameras using some powerline adapters (TP-Link Model TL-PA4020P). I connected the NVR Ethernet cable to my router. I then plugged in one PowerLine (PL) adapter #1 to the electrical outlet and connected an ethernet cable between the PowerLine and the router. I connected a camera to PowerLine (PL) adapater #2. I then pushed the pair button on PL#1 followed by pair button on PL#2 (within 10 seconds) I go to the settings page on the NVR in the "serach devices" but the camera doesn't show up. I looked at TP Link instructions and they say to press pair button with 60 seconds. Pairing takes a couple of minutes and it should work. I follow instruction but it shows the powerline adapter in powersaving mode. I have swapped powerline adapters and the same thing happens. I have replaced the camera but is still not detected by the NVR. I called Lorex and talked with two people and they told me to purchase the wireless system setup. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this setup work? I tried to add as much information as possible, but I am not familiar with camera terminology. So let me know if I need to add any other information. Thanks in advance.
