Hello,
I bought a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I CCTV camera from the Chinese website Aliexpress (the worst mistake I've ever made and would never buy from them again, but that's another story)
The camera is faulty and I can't get a refund. When I plug the camera into my laptop via Ethernet and change my laptops IP address to suit the camera and plug in a 12v power supply then the camera works and the quality is great. The default IP address of the camera is 192.0.0.64
When I change the IP address of the camera to something like 192.168.1.50 to suit my network and plug the camera into a POE source the camera powers on for a few seconds, dies, powers on again, dies again etc.
The camera is a POE IP CCTV camera. I planned to have the recordings stored on to a NAS with an IP address of 192.168.1.250 if it worked.
I have tried a PoE Switch, PoE injector, an 8 port PoE injector and a normal 12v power supply with just an ordinary Ethernet cable going back to a Netgear switch (and also the 12v supply with an Ethernet cable going back to the PoE switch just to test it)
None of the above works and I have concluded that the camera is simply faulty.
Can anyone help me with what the problem may be? If I open the camera is there something I can replace to get this going?
I realise that this camera could well be a fake/copy but just wondering if anyone has had a problem similar to this and is there anything else I can try to get it working, or is it not faulty and maybe you can spot something I've just missed.
