Hi,

I have an OAK-D W POE camera and I'm trying to connect it to my personal laptop. I have a M12 to RJ45 cable which I plugged the M12 side to the camera and RJ45 side to a POE injector.

Then I used a RJ45 cable and connected one side to the injector and the other side to the laptop.

And plugged the injector to a regular outlet. the camera seems to get power from injector and it is active.

I can't find the camera in DepthAI Viewer. Would you please tell me if there is something wrong with my connection?

You will find my ifconfig below.

    Manually set the IP and subnet of your ETH interface to make the device discoverable. docs.

    Thanks,

        Thank you for your response.

        the device is discoverable now, but after running depthai_viewer while I can choose the camera, I get this error without seeing any data in the GUI.

        Error: Failed to find device after booting, error message: X_LINK_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, Try to connect the device to a different port.

        changing the port didn't help.

        Would you please guide me in this matter? Btw, I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop.

          worth to mention that while running this python code:

          import depthai as dai

          # Create a pipeline

          pipeline = dai.Pipeline()

          # Manually specify the camera's IP address

          device_info = dai.DeviceInfo("169.254.1.222")

          # Connect to the device

          try:

          with dai.Device(pipeline, device_info) as device:

          print("Successfully connected to the camera!")

          except Exception as e:

          print(f"Failed to connect to the camera: {e}")

          It gets failed.

          I went through updating boot loader, and did the flash factory boot loader, but not updating the boot loader. it seems like it is already updated since it's 0.0.28.
