Buzzing noise on IP camera connected to GS305P

I'm running a new Netgear GS305P to power a Reolink IP POE camera. Whenever the camera is touched by a hand or a few drops of water (waterproof camera) there is buzzing/static over the audio feed. I replaced the camera once already assuming it was faulty and the new camera buzzes as well so I am assuming it is the switch. My outlet is grounded and I am using shielded cabling. Is there known issue with this particular switch causing a feedback issue like this or does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

    AmbassadorOne,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    It seems that you are having issues with your POE camera that is connected to the GS305P. May I know if you tried to use another POE switch just to isolate? Does it still work fine if the camera buzzing its audio?

     

    Regards,

  • I have this exact issue on a gs110tp 8 port. My switch is not grounded though as it is powered by an isolated power brick..
