Getting the hang of it

I have a 7608ni with poe that powers every camera I've ever tried. Over 10 varying from hikvision, dahua, and longsee.
I have a mini ptz v2 that powers up with 3 different poe switches and works. But when I put the v2 on the hikvision 7608 it won't power up on poe, no boot up or movement. Anyone have a clue why besides being a piece of junk? Importx said to just use a switch but I'd really like to get it working off the nvr.
 
I've tried with only the ptz with no other cameras all the way up to 5 other cameras although I only run 4 normally. I tried all 8 ports on the nvr. Even with 4 other cameras I'm not even a quarter of the Poe budget.

It could be the Ethernet cable or that NVR voltage output is shot that it not producing enough amperage needed for a PTZ camera. Because of the motors in PTZ and bigger IR, it require more amps than a average standard fixed PoE cameras.

If it works on a switch or injector then it have to be that NVR. Is there a voltage/amperage setting in the NVR menu? I don't own a NVR so I couldn't help you there.
