The video server:

i just bought can use PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3af

When i look online, there are PoE injectors, PoE switches and PoE adapters

 

Which do i need to use power over ethernet to power my video server?

 

Also, my video server itself will provide power to the camera when using PoE

Does powering my camera w/the video servers PoE use a different PoE?

PoE has been standardised.

 

A PoE injector is usually a single port PoE power supply.

A PoE switch is a switch which has PoE capabilities in its ports.

A PoE adaptor is a splitter and outputs power back into its own wire again.

 

So to power your VS, a PoE switch or a PoE injector will do the trick. You won't be able to finangle the adaptor to do it though.

 

And judging by the tech specs and data sheet, you should be able to power the camera direct from the VS's PoE output so no it doesn't to answer the question.
