Not sure where to post this but hopefully someone can help me out.
I have a security camera system whose wires come in (look like ethernet) and plug into a PoE switch. When I connect my computer to this switch i can verify the cameras are working/powerd etc - i can see their images.
The ethernet cable output from the POE switch goes to a powerline ethernet adapter (call it #1) (it looks like a thing that plugs into outlet and the ethernet cable from PoE switch plugs into this as mentioned).
There is another powerline ethernet adapter down the hall (call it #2) who then plugs into the wall ethernet.
I think that #1 is supposed to communicate with #2 and #2 is supposed to send the signal via ethernet to my router which then goes to the DVR.
I cant get the two powerline ethernet adapters to sync up. I tried all the stuff with the sync buttons and reset buttons.
My question is this.
I know that the camera input and PoE switch is good. What is the best way to get the signal from the PoE switch to my hardwired LAN ethernet connection?
Should i just get another powerline system?
Or is there a better way?
Sorry if confusing but I'll try to outline what i think the correct diagram is below
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Camera-->PoE switch-->ethernet cable to powerline ethernet adapter #1--->powerline ethernet adapter#2-->ethernet plug in wall--->router in the basement--->DVR
Somewhere in 3 through 6 is the problem (i think its the two powerline ethernet adapters not linking up)
Anyone have a suggestion?
