This is my first gig where I am using HDCVI instead of ip cameras and a few of the existing cameras are powered by poe splices (I think they call these jelly connectors or something like that).
Most of the cameras use siamese coax and they work fine, but 3 of them use the poe splices shown above. When I plug the ethernet into my poe switch, the switch turns off until I remove the cable. I removed all cables from it and tried one at a time to see if maybe they were overpowering the switch, but the new cameras i'm using use the same power/amps as the regular poe ip cameras I use.
The switches manual says the poe pinout for power is Power+: ping 3 & ping 6 and Power-: ping 1 & ping 2 (i'm assuming ping is supposed to be pin).
Here is a link to the switch manual: http://goo.gl/0P19Gj
I rewired using their pinout (positive on pin 3 and 6 and negative on pin 1 and 2)... but that still caused my switch to blackout on me. From what I read, their pinout seems to be reversed from the "official" pinout.
Does anyone know whats going on and why it keeps crashing my switch? I hooked 2 ip cameras to it and they worked fine, so its not the switch.
Any help would be much appreciated it.
