I use this. As long as your POE source can provide 30watt AND all your cameras uses less than 30watt, it'll work fine.

Ive bought one of these but not tried it as of yet. Sorry if this sounds stupid (Didn't know these existed but just what im looking for if it works)......So am i correct in thinking. I have one cat cable from my NVR's POE port connected to this splitter, 2 cameras feeding off the splitter. On the NVR itself. set the camera config as manual rather than plug and play and then enter the ip addresses of each camera? which will then use 2 of my 16 channels, even though only one port on the NVR itself is used?

In theory it should work with plug n play but you could try that.
I wasnt able to get it to work from an NVR PoE port so I bought a cheap little 5 port switch that sits beside the NVR and plug it into that, assigning each a static IP on my LAN
