One guy here says Mode A: [Link: cctvforum.com] and there's a link to an article that I'm gonna haveta read soon!

btw, I googled "do hikvision cameras use POE mode A or B?" to get that. There are a lot of other responses that might be helpful, too.

Of course the Ernie brain says quietly in the background "is there some reason to think that all camera models that they ever made do exactly this?" You didn't mention a model number..............
