Similar thread above and I can only make a similar comment, you don't say how long a while is or where you bought then from ?

I guess you acquired this camera used. Find the hard reset procedure to return to factory defaults, another possibility is dead battery (some cams have them for config). Chances of Ethernet hardware fault pretty low.

You could try scrounging a sample from the manufacturer here

Hi everybody, I am trying to get iVMS 3.8.1.4 to run under Wine 6.0.3 on a Linux Mint21 system. The problem I am having is with the menu graphics, if for example I try device/add then the menu panel does not appear from the right hand side of the screen as it should, instead if you wipe the cursor over the area it uncovers it. All the menu's suffer from this problem. I have tried it on two different hardware platforms AMD/Intel and the problem is the same. The problem doesn't exist on win 10. Has anybody been successful with iVMS under Wine or have any other ideas please ?

There you go £14 according to Amazon and then you have to add an external 48V power adapter (another £12) so around £26/port. I have to admit I did miss that particular injector in my travels as by then I was probably fed up with researching such items (there are hundreds) as everyone turned out to be passive! So thanks for the tip if I ever want to power just one camera. Meanwhile still waiting for my poe switch to turn up that all being well is a more economical solution for multiple camera's.

Could you post a link of an example of that as I was completely unable to find an active injector at that price please ?

Well unfortunately that's where the fun starts! 99% of the products described as injectors that I examined turned out to be passive........ Active ones start at around £35 a port and I don't call that cheap. However I did find a handy little 4 port 10/100 switch with active POE for around £35 capable of delivering 40W across the 4 ports, plenty for simple camera's. Tp-link TL-SF1005LP here that will do me nicely for my existing 2 cams I measured at 6W each (with IR on) plus room to expand to another two.

Many thanks for the reply, I had not realized it had been made so unnecessarily (IMOP) complex & expensive! So we have to spend $$$$ on power supplies instead of cheap & cheerful. OK if you have a poe nvr or switch but bad news if your installing a few standalone camera's on a router.

According to the specs even simple camera's (e.g. RLW-8/510a) of <=15W require active poe ports. I find this hard to believe, camera's that have ptz and spotlights maybe. Has anybody used these simple cams on simple 802.3af passive ports ?

Thanks for the replies, in the end I opted for Reolink RLC-810A 2.8mm This has a 1/2.49" sensor so not the best BUT it's POE 4K with IR, internal storage & "smart" movement detection so I am hoping it will meet my needs at least until something else comes along.

Hi all. I am looking for a 4k external camera with >90deg fov with an SD card slot, wifi interface, night vision and smart movement detection. Dont need/want ptz or zoom. would love PIR! The object is to reduce cabling to a simple locally provided 12V only and not have any centralized NVR. I have found such cameras for 1080p but not much higher res.

Hello everybody, I have come here to learn as I am considering installing a CCTV system around my home but have never had one before. Been lurking a while, seems a good place to learn 😀
