POE not working to Tapo camera
I have an 8-port TL-SG2210P POE switch and a TP-Link Tapo-C320ws camera.
I understand that the camera is not natively a POE camera. But I have a splitter to take POE power and break it out for the camera. The camera should draw less than 6 watts. 9V, 0.6 A DC.
On the System Configuration section of the switch interface, the POE Status is "Enabled". But the Power Status column says "Off". And the camera does not come up.
I am missing something or do not understand how POW and splitters work.
Would someone explain to the novice why this is not happening please?
Thanks

Worked it out. Simply needed a PoE splitter adapter that was IEEE 802.3af Compliant.

hello
New user here and first time installing any kind of cameras etc.
I am facing same problem as many, I purchased 7 TAPO C320WS under the impression that they could work with POE but looks like I will need to follow similar solution with you.
could you please advise a bit more? or maybe some photos or amazon link for that splitter?
problem is that there are so many in the market and I dont know which one is the correct or could work with these cameras.
I have a POE switch with 8 ports and 7 cameras.
should the splitter be active or passive?
in the market I find 12V and 5V but cameras are 9V 0.6A.
could anyone assist please??
Thanks!
Not sure what hardware you have but it does NOT seem to be PoE ready.
PoE splitter is a product like this one, for example, (warning) which may not be suitable for your model:

Hi @BushyYate
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
You should take a look at the PoE splitter you have. This does not look like a problem with the PoE switch from any aspect.
Is the splitter from us? You should check the cable as well. Try a 3ft one and test it.
