Kwilly22 0 Posted November 10, 2015 Hi Guys, I bought a Dahua NVR and some IP Cameras for use at home (I have never done CCTV before!) I got them all plugged in and working fine and they were pretty easy to setup! I then went on to buy some TP-Link Powerline adapters so we could run a camera out at the garage however it doesn't seem to be detecting the camera via the TP-Link! With the cameras plugged into the router they work perfect. The PL Adapter passes through WiFi into the garage fine so I know its working. Which is why I can't understand why the camera isn't being picked up! We are using the following: NVR Dahua NVR - DHI-NVR4104-P-W Cameras Dahua - IPC-HDBW5302 Dahua - IPC-HDBW5302 Nexus IPC - IP-390DMI-3.0MP Powerline Adapter TP-LINK - TL-WPA4220 As I say I am totally new to this, I read on the forum of people using Powerline adapters so just got any set! I work with computers but have never done this sort of thing! Did I buy incompatible adapters/ is there some settings I need to change? Any help is REALLY appreciated!

Kwilly22 0 Posted November 11, 2015 Hi yes I have both of the adopters. One is plugged into the house with an Ethernet to the router, the other is plugged into the garage and it's working because the one in the garage is a wifi adapted and works perfect. Any other ideas? Are only certain models of adapted compatible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neutech 0 Posted November 14, 2015 How are you powering the IP camera in the Garage? The powerline isn't POE so you will need 12v DC PSU at least 1amp and connect via the female power socket to provide power to the camera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwilly22 0 Posted November 14, 2015 Ah right didn't know you had to power it! Worked plugged into router via Ethernet so assumed wouldn't need power! Can you link me to an appropriate cable to power it? I really aren't clued up on all this DC amp stuff! Much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwilly22 0 Posted November 17, 2015 Ok did a bit of research! Am I right in thinking if I get the POE Injector below and plug that in next to my powerline in the garage, then run from the powerline to the POE Injectors ethernet and then from the POE Injectors ethernet to the Camera this should fix my problem? http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-PoE150S-Injector-Adapter-Compliant/dp/B001PS9E5I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447754655&sr=8-1&keywords=poe+injector Cheers!
