Hi, I'm thinking to replace my old hikvision SDI cctv to IPCam. My requirement is the IPCam must have ONVIF support so I can directly record them using my existing NVR.
My choices at the moment is either TPLink Tapo or EZVIZ. Anyone have experience in using them? Can I use existing 12v power to power them instead of using the supplied power adapter? |

QUOTE(adamw @ Aug 25 2022, 07:08 PM) You will need EOC(Ethernet over Coax) and the 12V DC can be reused. What brand/model is your NVR? Thanks, will look into this. With this I assume I need to use POE switch? Something like 8x [camera <> EOC <> COAX <> EOC ] <> SWITCH <> NVR? NVR is Hikvision DS-7208HUHI-K1 QUOTE(idealhometech @ Aug 26 2022, 11:03 AM) Check ur camera input voltage, if 12VDC, then can reuse the power supply. Tapo camera have a spec of adapter output 9.0V/0.6A.This post has been edited by nyunyu: Sep 2 2022, 03:27 AM |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 2 2022, 09:55 AM) No POE involved. You will need a normal switch at NVR end. My bad, I don't have NVR, mine is DVR.That EOC only have 10Base-T, will it be enough? QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Sep 2 2022, 12:24 PM) i have similar configuration as yours ...just want to add on wifi camera using tap from 12v from existing camera power .. Means I'm better off getting one of TP-Link VIGI lines then.tapo using 9v ..i think not so friendly to add the power ..better find 12v camera ... thanks ...

QUOTE(idealhometech @ Sep 3 2022, 09:24 AM) Can turn ur HUHI become NVR. Yes, that's the reason I specify my requirement to be one with ONVIF in my first post.Go to Camera setting, switch analog to IP will do. It support ONVIF. My issue now is the existing wiring of my current analog CCTV is 12v and coaxial. Really don't want to lay new RJ45 cable if I can avoid it) Since that is the case, I can't go with Tapo IP Camera with wifi as they're using 9v, that left me with VIGI lineup which using 12v although they're mostly don't have WIFI. (or someone has better suggestions?) Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess I have 2 choices? 1- Go with Tapo IPCamera: I don't have to lay new RJ45 since the camera has WIFI, only need to add POE switch together with EOC. 2- Go with VIGI IPCamera: I can reuse existing 12v power and only add EOC to connect to my switch. Bonus question, what if current coaxial has some interference? Will that affect IPCamera network feed as well? |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 4 2022, 11:33 PM) SDI very high requirements on cable, if used EOC should be ok. I have a customer factory also using SDI & once switch to IP settled. I actually fixed 2 IP camera via one coax. Did you use the existing 12v to power them? What kind of ip camera did you use? |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 5 2022, 10:15 AM) I used my own oem 5Mp and power was local side at camera. Apparently the EOC seller mentioned that I can't use it to power ip camera from POE switch although product spec sheet shows it can.Anyone using this EOC can confirm? https://dahuawiki.com/Accessories/EoC_Passi...onverter/LR1002 This post has been edited by nyunyu: Sep 10 2022, 09:36 PM |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 10 2022, 11:21 PM) Why complicate the matter with POE switches since you mentioned earlier you already have 12V DC @camera end? lmao..you're right, forgot that I've decided to go with 12V ip camera.do you know if there are any good shop selling EOC with good price? Gonna go all in and try this. |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 11 2022, 03:29 PM) No idea about local shops because I normally import all this special devices direct from China. Where is your location? If nearby can loan you a couple of pairs for you to test it out. I'm in sungai petani if you're close by. |
