Hello all, a bit of a newb question here. I am upgrading my network and adding Ubiquiti Security cameras. As part of the install I am doing there is a “remote” location that I am putting cameras in, and I am sending the information back to my main network via a NanoBeam AC 16. I have a G3, G4 Pro camera, the NanoBeam AC 16, and a NanoSwitch. I was hoping to power everything with the NanoSwitch which only ouputs 24V passive PoE. The only device that doesn’t support 24V Passive is the G4 Pro which supports 802.11 af/at. My question is, can I power the G4 Pro from the 24V switch or do I have to get a separate injector to power the G4? Or another way to ask the question, does 802.11 af/at support 24V passive PoE to power devices? Thanks for the advice!

It’s possible there are adapters for changing between standards.

The official statement from Ubiquiti is no. The NanoSwitch isn't compatible with powering the G4 Pro. However, I recall having a PoE injector rated for 48V 0.5A, which I used successfully as it meets the specifications.
