    Dahua 59225 PTZ power problem

    Pure copper, rj45 crimps are ok. Next step will be to use a higher Amp power supply for the switch, and try a AWG23 cable.

    HA System Recommendations?

    Take a look at WiFi sensors - Sonoff (with tasmota firmware) and Shelly. You'd need a stable wifi router/ap like ubiquity's ac lite/ac lr access point models.

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    @giomania I have the Mikrotik CRS112-8P-4S-IN and I can confirm it works with the famous Dahua 5231E. While browsing the Mikrotik site i've noticed the hEX PoE aka RB960PGS, with 4 passive PoE or af/at ports @ mode B (4,5+) (7,8-) compatible devices, whatever this means. If someone has this...

    Does such a spec exist?

    1. If you want to back up the DVR by a NAS and have the DVR back up the recording to the NAS. 2. It's better to have a POE switch separate from the DVR.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Do you have a micro SD card plugged in the cameras? I've read somewhere here that a plugged in microSD card can cause problems, i'm not sure what camera models were affected by this, google if you can.
