Hi Dan, After some additional work to map the pinouts in the connector box and calling ERA again, it seems time to give up. There doesn't seem to be any wiring related reason for not being able to extend the ethernet between the connector box and the camera and yet as soon as you do so the...

Thanks Dan. You may be right as I seem to recall an earlier experiment where we extended the outlet to the camera by only another metre or so and that also wouldn't work. However, it's difficult to see how straight through cable and connector can cause any signal confusion, particularly...

Hi Dan, I too thought that 5m wasn't very far, hence the voltage drop tests just to confirm. I'm aware that my layout descriptions might not be so great, and I'm confusing myself, so I've sketched the various layouts we've tried - see attached. The ERA camera model just seems to be referred...

Hi Dan, My apologies - I should have included this additional detail in my post. The router is connected via an approx. 1m ethernet cable to a Netgear switch, from which another 1m ethernet cable goes to the connector box. The switch is a hangover from the previous camera arrangement. As it...

Hello, We've recently had to change our camera system from Y-Cam to ERA Protect. Unfortunately, the old cameras were POE so only ethernet cable was run through the house from the router to the cameras. The new cameras consist of an AC adaptor that runs to a connector box into which the camera...
