Hi Very new to CCTV camera and just purchased three DS-2CD2032-l I have to use power over Ethernet adapter for two locations as I dont have ethernet outlet in the exterior of the home. I tried setting it up as shown in the network map below but could not find the camera with included software (SADP). To trouble shoot I have done following 1. checked the poe connectivity for internet with laptop and its working 2. directly connected camera with desktop with LAN cable but camera does not show up on SADP software 3. repeated #2 with laptop still no connectivity. Unclear how to troubleshoot from this point on. I thought the camera were POE and so does the sticker on the camera say. But so far not working just with ethernet connection. Please advise May be I need poe injector somewhere in the scheme? please advise

Talked to HIKVISION tech support. They suggested using poe injector. It has to be post ethernet over power adapter. I ordered tplink one from amazon. will update with results
