Excellent PoE Injector
I have been working with security camera products for over 20 years - over that time I have installed systems for businesses, corporations and individuals - from enormous multimillion dollar systems to single camera nursery monitors. I’ve consulted on large projects and written about security vulnerabilities within networks for trade publications.This is a field I know well. Over the years the technology has improved and become less and less expensive to produce. It is now practical to install security systems that would have only previously been used in commercial settings in residential.Like most people who understand security cameras and their vulnerabilities I completely avoid WiFi cameras on most installations. While they are much easier to set up they are also far more vulnerable to hacking and security breaches.Most of the systems I build and setup utilize Blue Iris, PoE switches and cameras. While initially this may seem more complicated, in the end it really isn’t and the system is far more stable and customizable.PoE injectors, such as this one by CENTROPOWER, are the perfect solution for when a camera needs to be placed at a farther distance from your central hub.I set this up a bit over 3 months ago to power a camera located approximately 300’ from where this box is plugged in. I make my own Ethernet cables for these types of runs using trueCABLE Cat6 Direct Burial ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VPGDBKW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_veE6FbZ3QK01F ) and pass through modular plugs ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0839DMK75/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_5yE6FbX7NDWNX ).Something that is important to understand when running PoE systems is “line loss” - this refers to the power lost along the run of cable. The longer the cable the more loss there will be. While this device is capable of delivering 60W it can not deliver that over a 100 meter (330’) run. Luckily 60W is far more than you’ll typically need.I ran this to a fairly power hungry PTZ camera that constantly scans the area. As I mentioned I have tested this device for a bit over 3 months and it has performed without any issue. Even though this is powering a large PTZ varifocal camera that is constantly scanning I have never experienced any drop in power that caused it to pause or drag. This device is certainly plug and play. I have been thoroughly impressed by this PoE injector and highly recommended it.Why do I wait a few months to write my review? I have found many products perform perfectly when first received, but within a couple of months they begin to glitch and have issues. Like most consumers, I find this incredibly frustrating as then it is typically beyond the return window and I’m left with another useless broken device. During my testing I really push the limits of each device, I have them run 24/7 and maximize their capabilities in order to discover if there are any inherent flaws. While this process is time consuming, I have found it is the best way to determine what products are utilizing inferior components and what products really are worth purchasing as they will hold up and perform as expected for the long term.

had a camera 80ft out...
that was giving me problems...could not figure it outthrew this inline, and whamo problem solvednever underestimate line losswell made box, good fittings, does the job!!!!recommended..

PoE injector performs as expected.
Great little power over ethernet injector from Centropower. Capable of delivering up to 60 watts of power to the connected device, with plug and play installation, and no bulky power brick just a power cord. This product allowed me to connect a PoE IP surveillance camera to a non PoE switch port at another end of the property without any trouble. Solid performance that meets my expectations , recommended.
