I have an RAX80 Router and would like to connect a PoE security camera to one of the LAN ports that I would be able to access with software on a PC over my home network. I can't find any specs on the LAN ports themselves but from what I understand a PoE camera needs 12V2amp power on the LAN port. Could you tell me if the LAN ports on the RAX80 conform to this voltage spec? I was hoping to not have to use a separate power supply for the camera. Thank you for any help.
Since the ports are not powered, you will need to use a compatible POE injector (many are in the $15-20 range), They can work well if you need to use just one camera or other PoE device, but if you need to run multiple cameras, then consider getting a PoE switch, many decent 5-8 port units can be had for around $50.
