Unable to start the OAK-D Pro POE camera

AbhinavAnkur

I have got an OAK-D Pro POE and a PoE Injector that I am trying to power on. The power cable powers the injector, the M12 to RJ45 connector connects the camera through the PoE port of the injector, and an ethernet cable (not part of the camera/injector box) connects the LAN connection in the building to the injector LAN port. There is no connectivity to my laptop in this case.

In another configuration, I connected the LAN cable to my laptop instead of the building's LAN port. Although I don't see any light turning on, when I run `arp -a`, it shows me an IP that I do not recognize otherwise. Hoping that it is the Pro POE camera, when I start the depth application demo, I get "No Device Found error" and "X_LINK_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND" error when I restart my computer. I have even tried setting up my laptop's IP correctly but even that didn't help.

I can't seem to use the M8 connector as of now. Do I need a USB adapter through which I'll connect this to my laptop? Can someone help me getting started here?

Hi AbhinavAnkur
In the first case, the device will likely be given an IP address by your router's DHCP. In that case you will have to find what that IP is. Usually, running device_manager.py will automatically find the device if it is located inside the same subnet as your computer. If you are connected to the same router, that will most likely be the case.

For second option, the device will fallback to it static IP docs. Follow the docs and use device manager to connect to it.

Let me know if it works,

I see, I am following the second method setting then.

I am still unable to run any code sample or the demo. The device manager shows the camera when I type in the static IP manually. However, the code samples (e.g. EdgeDetector) doesn't seem to work with No Depth device found error. When I ran a code sample, I heard the autofocus sound too, but it's not happening again.

Hi AbhinavAnkur
Then I will assume your PC is outside of the subnet of your device. Could you check that please?
Some reference: https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/guides/getting-started-with-poe/#dhcp-and-static-ip
You can also try manually specifying the ip of the device using

info = dai.DeviceInfo("IP")
# Pipeline is defined, now we can connect to the device
with dai.Device(pipeline, deviceInfo=info) as device:
    # Start pipeline

Thanks,
