Its been a while since I posted on the forum.. "Hello" again.
I started a relatively easy project to convert a video camera to use POE using an injector and splitter but for some reason I don't understand why I can't get enough voltage to the camera and could use some suggestions/help.
The camera uses a 5v 2000ma walwart and has been disassembled.
I bought a splitter and injector from EBAY, the injector seems fairly straight forward and I'm using a 12v 1000ma walwart to power it.
The injector seems like its doing its job correctly and I am able to get POE of 12+ on the spare pair of the ethernet cable.
Supplying the POE voltage to the splitter, I am able to adjust down the output voltage to 5.28v the exact voltage of the camera walwart.
All good so far..
So here is the strange part, when I hook up the output of the splitter to the power input of the camera the voltage is 2.45v considerably less than what is required for operation and much different than the measurement when not connected.
Is this a problem with the splitter or injector or both, any ideas?
Thanks.
