Please help. I’m connect my PoE IP camera in 5 port and camera don’t switch on. Not light green indicator on camera jack. I’m test this camera on PoE switch and camera worked correctly.
How to configure PoE?
You must check if your camera needs a specific Voltage or a specific PoE method to work.
The hAP ac outputs ~2V below input voltage. If you use a 24V adapter, Ether5 will output 22V PoE power. This might not be enough for a camera. Or the camera might need 802.3af PoE standart or some other special requirement.
Camera have 12VDc/1A power input optional jack.
Check the manual of the camera, or post the link here. Input jack and PoE could have different supported voltages.
Just measured the consumption of the camera: 48Vdc and 60 milliamps. <3W
Try to power the router with 48-50V adapter then.
PoE standard 48VDс. It turns out Mikrotik with a standard power supply does not support this standard? Why aren’t you reporting this then?
the manual included in the box, and on the product webpage, clearly says what Voltages are supported in and out.
The included adapter is not suitable for all possible devices in the world. If you have a high voltage PoE device connected, you must upgrade your power adapter.
Normally it’s not needed, the router works fine with 24V
PoE does not happen with voltage less than 44VDc. It turns out Mikrotik does not support the default PoE. Supporting devices, if necessary, increase the voltage at the PoE ports. This is necessary to increase the range of power supply to the devices.
I acquired this model because of PoE support. But there is no support. Poorly.
All MikroTik devices work with PoE 12V and 24V.
You are talking about other PoE standards.

Apparently your PoE is some special 
Mikrotik style PoE (MsPoE).
zhirukhin, on the HAP AC specs it clearly states it supports Passive POE only. Passive POE is just throwing DC voltage on the relevant wires and the other end can take it or not. The Mikrotiks do not actively change Voltage, what they get on IN (via DC adaptor or POE-IN) they throw on OUT POE ports.
For active POE negotiation takes place.
Related to your setup, you can:
- Try to power the hap ac with a 48V adapter - > this may or may not be liked by the camera
OR - power the hap ac with a 12V adapter ( better a configurable one to increase to 13V if necessary) and on ETH5 you use a POE splitter. That will allow you to use the 12V input jack on the camera. The only issue - camera should not go past 700mA on the 12V as that is the maximum the hap ac can throw out.
Thanks! I already figured it out. But the terminology used is misleading. Now I’ll buy a 48V power supply and see what happens.
Not very experienced on POE myself but if you have a camera that expects 802.3af negotiation it may not work. Try to find the camera datasheet and see if Passive POE is also supported.
This device has PoE out just for other Mikrotik devices not standard PoE devices. Cameras need pure PoE, if you need this buy a PoE Switch!
