I have one camera in my testing environment. I have a active Poe injector. The camera plugged into the Poe injector works great.

I then put the RB750UPr2 hEX PoE lite into the mix. The cable coming from the Poe injector I put into the first port POE in. The RB 750 powers on and is functioning as I can connect to it. I put the camera into ether 2. In winbox I went to the interfaces for ether 2 and enabled the Poe on all the time. However the camera does not work. I can plug an external power source to the camera and everything works properly.

Something in the RB750 is stopping the POE power from getting to the camera properly. I really don't know what else to check.

Any ideas?

You used PoE Out: forced on on ether2?

What is the PoE Out Status? It's on the same tab under the poe settings

I had left it at auto on originally. Then I tried forced on. That didn't make any difference.

Here is a screen shot. The info under the POE status seems to be the same even if the camera isnt plugged in

I think I need a different injector for the power. It powers the RB750 ok. But not the camera.

I will order a different injector I guess. I have a passive injector that powers the RB750 but doesn't get to the camera. The other one I have is 802.3/af/at but it does not seem to work either.

Using the active POE injector I put the setting back to auto on. Now the status says waiting for load.

If the active POE injector works the camera ok but the Mikrotik RB750 does something with the POE, maybe I need a different switch?

The camera works with a 12 V plug directly at the camera. It also works if I plug it into the 24 V - 802.3/af/at power supply via POE.

I was hoping to have all Mikrotik equipment but Im going to get a different brand that handles the POE cameras well.

Oh well.

Thank you everyone for your input.
