 So in an always an effort to find an efficient way to do things that are as budget friendly We wanted to get away from if we could Using all these unified bricks when we do a large camera install now some situations require these especially the recent job that I got a Document I couldn't film a lot on site there, but we did one that was an entire series of site to site so there's like two cameras per building so Bricks made a lot of sense because there's only two bricks in each building Across about a six-acre site But we have another job coming up that we have a lot of cameras and we said you know instead of using bricks or buying a POE There's something called a POE injector and that's what this is now There's a company called I want to say they're called Wi-Fi Texas. They have a strange name I'll put the link below into where you can get this product. We were a little bit skeptical About the POE injectors. I've seen them used before and they seem to work But we wanted to you know try them out for ourselves now The first thing about it is you have to realize that these are not like your regular full-blown POE switches Which is also why they're so inexpensive They only inject power without asking the question at POE is supposed to do of what voltage is needed So when you're getting these you have to buy a power adapter that matches the voltage output because as you can see inside Of this there's no electronics these this simply takes the power in here Puts it to the pins that needs that it needs to go to and it's going to go to the cameras But this has little mounting ears on it And can make for a really nice clean setup. So it comes out of the switch You run it over to here and then out from here right into all the cameras So it's a it's a nice really basic setup and we wanted to It's just gonna run unified cameras We wanted to show just the kind of wattage it used so this has been running for a while We wanted to make sure and we also before we installed the cameras He is some of these cameras got to be installed with using man lifts and using Tall letters we do all of our testing and let the cameras run a couple days prior to going into the clients We make sure that we usually build their nvr server here. We do all the recording They sit here in one of our rooms and just record for a while Usually you don't even do motion record We set them all to record so we can create a lot of data and kind of test things out prior to getting it So the client now the adapter that comes with it also has little ears on it. So you can When we're done with this is going to be mounted and look really nice But the other thing we were curious about was exactly what is the wattage usage? So I know what this is rated at this can do up to 1.6 amps and right now on here We're at 0.43 amps. I'm gonna do a quick demonstration here because One they do when a recording to use a little bit more wattage, but they definitely jump up more when they go in the dark So I'm gonna show you that real quick in the dark here, and I'll show you what the wattage difference is So once all the IR turns on you do see a jump up to like half an amp here. Yeah half an amp and So 0.52 and all the clicking you hear if you can hear that I don't know if the mic's gonna pick it up That's them switching all off of IR mode and going back into regular mode So they really don't Pull that much juice even recording. We can also reboot the cameras and show you how that works So if we drop this out, we take the power and The power disappears down to nothing and we plug the cameras in like to boot them up It is kind of a staging that they do before they power up all the way So now they're all coming on point three four And after a few seconds each one will kick in and it'll raise back up to just under half an amp problem They kind of run through a little test on their boot up. So like I said, this is just a simple product We are going to do some installs with it It's been running for a while here at our office and all these cameras have had no problem at all no errors no misses Nothing, so I'm pretty happy that they come in a couple different sizes, but it's definitely a lot better I mean this is gonna this is actually only going for a six camera job But we went ahead and plugged in eight cameras so we can make sure we seen if they add two more cameras What it looks like fully loaded but with the way these are really simple and a couple bricks It's easy to get a pair of these for 16. They do make a rack mount one That's 24 port. Like I said, this saves you a lot of money over buying a full PoE I mean a full PoE is nice And if you're plawing a variety of devices a PoE makes a lot of sense because these are different voltages than some of the different Wi-Fi units, but when you're just doing a All the same camera install, you know all of them are 24 volts And they're all going to be plugged into the same device the PoE injector is kind of an easy and expensive solution It still keeps the wiring clean and allows you to have all these cameras hooked up without having to stack You know eight bricks together to get this job put together So thanks for watching if you like to content here like and subscribe and I'll leave the links below for this PoE injector Because like I said, it doesn't exactly have any type of name or brand on it I believe we call place calls or something along the lines of Wi-Fi Texas They get here really fast. I'll leave the Amazon link below. Thanks
