Replacing the transformer still did not allow them to power over POE. I just installed the camera and ran a 12v wire to power the camera. I took it to an electronic repair guy to replace the transformers but he couldnt get it to work over POE. I cut my loses at that.

As the title says when I plug in POE into the KCM5611, it wont power on. Yet when I connect a 12v power source, they power on and work perfectly(This is happening to BOTH 5611's). Is there an option to turn the POE off in the settings or something? Ideas? They were bought used. I have tried the POE injector I used originally with another IP camera, I assumed it might have been faulty so I bought a POE switch with 4 POE slots, still wont power on. So it has to be the cameras. Edit: Factory reset did not work. Maybe the POE port is fried? The pins look like they're in good condition. Edit x2: Maybe the pins for the ethernet cables need to be moved around. Ugh. Edit x3: Tried opening it up, took the front cover off, I assume I have to take apart the lens piece by piece to get to the ethernet port? Edit x4: Since I just bought this switch, is it possible to splice open the cable and connect the power and negative from the ethernet to the power slot on the back of the camera? Or will it not work?

I posted earlier that my 2 ACTI KCM-5611 wouldn't power on via POE. After attempting to repair the camera's they still will not power on over POE. They do however power through the 12 volt input on the back and they work flawlessly. I have decided to cut my losses and just power them through the 12v input. This may come as a surprise but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. First I have a wallwart that powers exactly what the camera needs, 12v at 1500mA. I assume, that since I will be running the power cable roughly 50ft, that this will not suffice due to voltage drop. Just throwing this out there as it may be a solution but I purchased this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intocircuit-30W-Waterproof-LED-Power-Supply-Driver-Transformer-120V-to-12V-/321389430261?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CA:3160 It is a 12 volt adapter that wattage is 30watts or 2.5amps. Is this too powerful and will fry my camera? My last question is how do I securely plug in the wiring into the camera? From the picture below you will see that there is no real way to securely attach the wires.

I guess I will be. If anyone else has some knowledge on the subject feel free to chime in.

Do you think if I switched out the POE transformer that it will power up? I'm about to order two. The thing is they already work fine with 12v but I would really like them to work with POE. I just hope if I switch out the Poe transformer that I wont fry the camera. I figure its worth a shot though.

Opened it up and found what was burned. The CoilCraft FA2925-AL. It's the PoE part of the camera. I wonder if I unsolder it an resoldet on a new one it will work? Ideas?

Hi, I recently purchased two Acti KCM-5611 used and am now just trying to get them connected. When I plug the POE injector into one of the 5611's, the LED on the injector has both the yellow(looks green to me) LED and a RED LED. This happens when I plug it into either camera. The manual for my POE injector says: "A steady blend color of red and yellow indicates that the power adapter is working properly." My POE injector TP-Link TL-POE150S, output is 48V. Do I need a different injector? I worked for my Hikivision. Am I missing something here as to why the camera's won't power on? They are still in warranty but don't understand why the LED's on the camera won't turn on. Help? Thanks, Ozone

I am looking at purchasing the hikvision ds-2cd6412fwd-30 1.3mp covert camera: http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=2371 I plan on having this camera hidden so when someone opens the door it captures a picture and emails it to me. I should be the only one opening the door so if anyone ever breaks the lock and opens the door I would like to receive an email with the photo attached. Is this what the alarm feature is for? Any suggestions on magnetic alarm contacts or substitutions? Also looking for any tutorials on how to get it setup. Thanks

I finished installing my Hikvision DS-2CD3332-I the other day and I can't seem to get the picture to work on any of the programs I use. SADP says its on my network, and the camera has power since the LED illuminator is lit. IP Address: 192.0.0.64 Port: 8000 IP v4 Gateway: 0.0.0.0(is this right?) When using Milestone it wont automatically find the camera. I tried manually putting in the IP address and tried both ports 80 and 8000, both with no success. Also BlueIris can't find it as well as. The Hikvision software(iVMS-4200) can add the camera, but only get a black screen. Im trying username:admin password: 12345 Not sure if it matters but this camera I got from a Chinese seller on ebay. Thanks in advance, Ozone

Sorry if I don't know the correct terminology but I am looking for the IP camera managing software, like blue iris, that could work on a raspberry Pi. I want to be able to watch the cameras on a monitor where there is no computer. Help would be greatly appreciated Edit: It would be helpful if I mentioned what camera's im using. I am using the QSee 4 720P IP Camera setup with the included 4 Channel NVR. I have managed to get it to stream to my IP address. I have also got it working on my phone with iDMSS Lite. I found that raspbmc which is XBMC can run stream files where you point the raspberry pi to where the stream is. Maybe I can use my IP address as the URL to the stream and can view the camera's that way :/ Edit edit: Seems im answering my own questions again. I will try this and see where it takes me. http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=66438

Thank you, ill try that next. I already have a raspberry pi so will try to get that working then after that I will try one of those.

I have to run about 100' of my installation outside and wanted to order a burial cable that wont deteriorate underground. I have 100' of regular cat5e, can I run the 100' of burial cable then connect it using a ethernet connector and use the regular cable the rest of the way? Im running the 720p q-see so nothing crazy.

I don't know what it is but I can't seem to be able to get a video feed from the cameras while connected to the NVR. I just have a black screen when they are connected. I go through the startup, it tells me ports 85 and 37777 are open. It says I have Upnp. I can also access the remote viewing webservice by accessing my ip address and port 85. On the NVR screen all I see is the 4 black square windows, with a plus sign to add a remote device. When I click that it comes up with 0 options. I can IP search or Manual add. When I click manual add it comes up with: Channel:1 Manufacturer: Private IP Address: 192.168.0.0 TCP Port: 37777 User: Admin Password: Remote CHannel 1 Decoder Buffer: 280 I tried changing the IP Address to that of my NVR, 192.168.1.71 and also tried 192.168.1.71:85 but nothing happens after I click ok. I have the cameras connected to the back of the NVR via ethernet cable and plugged into the POE slots. Ideas?

You can close the thread, this was something not technical but the power cable that powers the POE was bad. After just touching the power brick it somehow came alive. It wasn't unplugged, just had some weird short. Thanks for the help anyways.

When I go to manual add, for some reason when I add a device with the IP 192.168.1.71, it won;t add it to added devices. Also if I do an IP search, like the video below, the camera's won't appear. This is killing me, please help Not sure if it's a port forwarding problem but this is what I have: NVR2 37777 192.168.1.71 85 BOTH NVR 6036 192.168.1.71 85 TCP NVR3 80 192.168.1.71 85 BOTH

Where does one buy a Avigilon JPEG2000? Also whats the running price for one of these? Can't seem to find the price let alone one for sale.

So your suggest I zoom the camera into where I am most likely to record a license plate. I only plan to record the lane infront of me and then right lane(2 lane highway for example). Or would I be better off just zooming it in on the car infront of me where the license plate will be? I already have a dash cam but am looking to record license plates. I figure an IP camera would be the way to go for this.

1. Looking at buying the Acti KCM-5611 for a few weird reasons. One is a mobile ALPR which I will be installing on the front windshield facing outwards. I will increase the shutter speed of the camera to 1/1000 to decrease motion blur. I also will consider adding a IR filter to decrease IR reflection. I wonder how well this will work at night considering im going with one of the best night time quality cameras for the price. 2. Next I am looking at placing a stationary Acti KCM-5611 on a tree outfront of my house(Or just leave the one in my car running to catch plates at night). I wonder if the camera will be able to capture plates moving at a speed roughly 30mph. I assume if I increase the shutter speed and have decent lighting I will be able to capture the license plate. Should I consider a different camera? Is there a way that I can make the Acti KCM-5611 record only in B&W, or will colour be alright for the situation. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Stick with the Q-See.

That is the one I was leaning towards. Sounds like the maker started leaning on resellers sometime last year and the prices are now up around $240 from the mid-100's... and the reviewers were saying that makes it no longer a "best buy".... but the FineVue offering at a similar price does not offer built-in GPS - so, to me, that still leaves it as the high-end choice. ITB-100HD is now around the $180 mark. You are looking at the new version the SP aka smart plus. The SP isn't worth the extra $60. Contact apple-ct through his ebay and get a quote. I believe the price is under $200 shipped.

Don't look at any other dash cam's. I personally use the ITB-100HD. It is probably the best dashcam available for the money. Contact Apple-ct on ebay as he is the supplier for the dashcam http://stores.ebay.ca/APPLE-CT-STORE It has a GPS signal so it can record speed(if you want you can turn it off) Parking mode so when it detects motion it begins recording Deletes the oldest file and continues recording. a bunch of other things as well. I've owned a few dash cam's and it's by far the most reliable and my favorite.

How do I do this? There are going to be 8 IPC-HFW3200S‏'s. I have no idea how to connect this to my comuter. Since they are POE I will need this, ZyXEL ES1100-16P Unmanaged 10/100Mbps 16-port PoE Switch What else? Another NIC card? What frame rate/resolution will I get by running it off of my computer? The computer has an i7 processor with 12GB ram.

Thanks so much for the help. This is really helping me and making a ton more sense. Since the camera's get hooked up to my router, they can be viewed locally off of almost any device ie an ipad. I couldn't find where the output off of the switch goes. I see all the inputs on the switch but don't see an output that would send all the combined data to my router. Also what do you think the quality of the video's will be? 30FPS 720p? 30fps 1080p? What advantage does an NVR have over directly connecting it to my home network? Sorry for all the questions you're really helping me

I use it as my main computer but its on almost 24/7 anyways. I use it for internet use anyways. So I would install another NIC in my computer. How do I go about hooking the 8 camera's up to a the single NIC card? Or should I consider buying 2NIC's? Here's how I picture it.

An external storage device is simply a hard drive with a casing on it so you can connect it to a USB port. You can use it as a backup all the time but I would also suggest you consider taking off the enclosure and plugging it directly into your computer. This improves the speed of the hard drive(USB slows it down). If you were wanting to hid the extra drive away. Consider looking for a longer sata cable and a longer molex plug and then running the wires to a lock box. Hope that answers your question
