RJ-45 splitters for RLC-520?
-
I am going to install a second RLC-520 on the far side of the house. Can I use two splitters as shown in the attachment? I am trying to prevent running a second cable. Thank you.

If you find a splitter that works let me know. I had some laying around and tried it. Does not work.

I have had good luck with splitters for other devices. Just trying to find out before I attempt. I don't know how many wire pairs are used with cameras verses a regular network device which is usually only two pair.

The RLC-520 should be powered by the Ethernet cable. Please make sure the devices between the NVR and the cameras can work with PoE.

Ok so I have not tried to use the splitters yet being cautious not to cause any harm to the devices. I did find this article that would explain why splitters with Reolink Cameras will not work.

Typical network connections require only 4 of the pins to be used. Reolink Cameras need 6 pins?
Can this article be confirmed to be correct according to Reolink tech support?
Thank you. James -
Yes, the article you mentioned is correct. It should be 8 pins.
