Hi guys, sorry in advance for the long post.
I have 4 x Hikvision ds-2cd2032-1
Hivision NVR - DS- 7608NI/SE/P
I have cat 6 running to all four camera's.
Garden camera (under 10m run)- works fine - CAT 6 cable used steel type strands (UL registered)
Side camera (under 10m run) - works fine - CAT 6 cable used steel type strands (UL registered)
Front Left (approx. 15m run - NOT working - CAT 6 solid copper
Front Right (approx. 18m run - NOT working - CAT 6 solid copper
The front two camera's appear to come up as active devices on my adsl router however the NVR does not see them.
Please note I have changed the cat 6 cable once already as the previous run was thought to CCA cat6.
The Garden and side camera are using cheap ebay cat 6 cable and the fronts are using this:

The strange thing is I tested the camera's externally by fitted RJ45 connectors on a 25m cheap ebay and worked fine.
I'm testing the cat 6 cable with a cable tester tool which confirms the connections are good.
I've also tested the system by ruling out the NVR and using a standalone POE netgear and get the same problems.
It's almost as if POE doesn't like copper cable and using cheap ebay cable works fine?
Any suggestions before I start taking the house apart again.
Thanks
Bobby
