Set both toggles (1 and 2) to either Mode A or Mode B depending on which mode
your POE switch or POE NVR uses.
To clarify, the toggles should be in one of these positions:
If you don’t know what mode your switch uses , that’s ok! We will just go through a process of elimination by doing the following:
A Set both toggle switches to either of the 2 modes. Turn off your POE NVR /
Switch and plug your combiner unit into the ports.
B Turn your POE NVR / Switch back on and wait
atleast 5 minutes for your cameras to pop up.
Did they show up? If so, great, you are done! If not, repeat the process but this time, switch the toggles
C
to the other mode on step (a).
Still not working? No problem, see our troubleshooting section.

Below are some common popular brands that we tested (please note that some
brands may use different modes on different models so please only use this is
a reference that could vary).
(***No need to worry–you won’t cause any damage by selecting the wrong mode.
Simply try different modes until you see activity lights activate on the ports
where the combiner is connected to your switch or NVR.”)
If you are using a standard POE switch, this will most likely always be Mode A
Hikvision POE NVR works with Mode B Uniview POE NVR works with Mode B Dahua
POE NVR works with Mode A VIVOTEK POE NVR works with mode Mode A Nelly’s
R-Series works with Mode B
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have tried everything but still not getting all cameras to work:
Go through all the steps in the instructions, but this time, instead of plugging
Run a cable test on each of these
both connections from the combiner unit into the switch at the same time,
3 cables. Test them each individually when not plugged into the combiner and splitter.
1 just plug one connection in first and wait for the camera to show up. Once it shows up, plug the other connection in and wait for the 2nd camera
to show up. Wait atleast 5 minutes each time you plug a connection in.
Remember to try both modes this way.
Have you already configured and setup your cameras to work on your system
before adding the combiner/splitter? This is not a requirement but it’s
something we recommend if you are having trouble. Before ruling out
incompatibility issues
2 or a bad unit, please configure your cameras to your system without using
the combiner/splitter in the installation. We just want to make sure your
cameras are working without the splitter as a troubleshooting step that we can
rule out. Once you configure your cameras and have them confirmed working,
then go ahead and install the combiner/splitter.
Have you ruled out cabling or a possible bad RJ45 crimping issues? Test this
by removing the combiner/splitter from the equation and test each camera on
the one
3 long cable run. If they don’t work this way, then your issue lies in your
cable or RJ45
Connections. Either your RJ45 connection is bad or you may have too long of a
cable run (this adheres to standard cable run lengths of 100 meters from
camera to switch.)
