We are looking to install three HikVision IP cameras on the boat. I need to find an IP ethernet 4 port switch with POE which operates using a 12V DC supply... Any help or experience?
Thanks

I'm installing two cameras in the engine room and one on the ceiling of the aft deck looking rearward. IP 2.8mm fixed bullet cameras 6MP with IR (P/N DS-2CD2063G0-I) for viewing via WIFI, cell, and on my Garmin 8616's. Plan is cameras to POE switch, switch to Garmin IP expansion module, and switch to WIFI router.What model IP camera are you looking at? Some of their models have a 12vdc plug at the camera itself. Yes, two cables to the camera instead of just ethernet - but might be an option for you.
PoE uses 48vdc so your options for a PoE switch running directly off of 12vdc are slim.
+1 for the 12vdc to 48vdc converter. Just need to verify capacity (current draw)

Thanks David - This seems the best path. The Netgear GS309P input is 48 volts at 1.25 amps which is 60 Watts. So a 100 or 150 Watt DC to DC 12 - 48V boost controller would be fine. Question is - what would one look for in a quality boost controller? There's a million out there....There are different PoE specifications and some proprietary ones as well, depending on what is being powered. Another option would be a PoE injector , but youll likely need 3 of them.
If I were doing it, I would use the converter and a netgear switch. They are inexpensive, work well and readily replaceable/ upgradable.
