jengel14 Hi, I need support to setting up OAK-1 POE. I would like a step-by-step guide. The examples and coding are not intuitive to follow on your site. I do not need anything complicated just would like to view camera live in a standalone mode.
jakaskerl Hi jengel14 Powering the Device: The recommended way to use PoE devices like the OAK-1 PoE is with a PoE Ethernet Switch. If you already have a non-PoE switch installed, you can use a PoE injector in conjunction with this switch. The OAK-1 PoE supports both PoE Mode A and PoE Mode B. Connecting the Device: Connect the OAK-1 PoE to your computer or network using an Ethernet cable. The device can be powered and communicate through this single cable. Setting Up the Device: If you're using the device in standalone mode, you'll need to set a static IP for your computer. By default, the camera will have a static IP 169.254.1.222. So you would need to set your Ethernet adapter to static IP eg. 169.254.1.10 and netmask 255.255.0.0 in order for the OAK PoE camera to be in the same LAN and to be searchable by the DepthAI library. 3.1 This step is not needed if you have a router connected to the device (or any other form of DHCP server). Running the Device: You can specify the PoE device to be used by the IP address. You can use as many OAK cameras as you need, and since DepthAI does all the heavy lifting, you can usually use quite a few of them with very little burden to the host. Viewing the Camera Live: To view the camera live, you can use the video streaming demos provided in the PoE deployment guide. These demos use the Script node and can be run in Standalone mode. They include TCP streaming, MJPEG streaming with HTTP server, and MQTT publishing. Thanks, Jaka
