    I have just bought a new 24V PTZ IP camera, which is POE compatible.

    However my 2 existing IP cameras are 12V, they also are POE compatible.

    Due to the 12-24V I dont think I can buy a 4port 24V POE switch & connect and power them all together can I ?

    From the data sheets

    12V camera - 12 VDC ± 10% , PoE (802.3af) 5Watt power consumption

    24V camera - 24VAC/POE 802.3at, maximum 18w, 24VAC/POE 802.3af maximum 12W


    I want to connect all 3 to a wireless transmitter, whats the easiest way ?

    I guess Im wondering, if I buy a POE switch is it clever enough send the right voltage to each camera

    Would something like this do me

    Leave the 12vs on a switch, connect the 24 through an injector. Simples.
