Can these type of passive POE injectors and splitters used to power VIGI cameras(they support 12v input along with POE) . I dont want to purchase POE switch for just one camera.

Those are passive injectors/splitters and are typically limited to 10mbit or 100mbit.

Some VIGI cameras will work with passive poe, you’ll need to look at the specifications for your particular model.

A POE switch is a decent investment, like a quality UPS. It’ll open up so many possibilities.

Max. Power Consumption
12V DC: Max 5W
PoE: Class 0
Power Supply
12V DC ± 5%, 5.5mm Coaxial Power Plug
PoE (802.3af/at, class 0)

They support 12v input, So even if it wouldn’t work with POE at rj45, it must work at 12v port?

Can I buy 10/100 Switch or just use this splitter method

Yes, you can buy a 10/100 POE switch, if you don’t want to connect an access point to it in the future. It will work fine for your CCTV needs as they expand. I would recommend buying at least an 8-port switch as they are a little more costly than 4 port switches, but have double the ports.

This will work, it’s what I used with one of my TAPO cameras. You’ll be limited to 50m or so.

Then I bought a 4 port POE switch.

Then another 4 port POE switch.

And now I want one more.

Or, you could have started with an 8 port POE as I recommended. You don’t listen @rsaeon . Neither is this assistant commissioner of police @ACP going to listen. He will go through the same cycle. This set of splitter with a 12 V supply followed by a 4 port POE followed by another 4 port POE.

Or, maybe he will listen to both of us @rsaeon and go to the 8 port POE now and use his CCTV setup for 10 years increasing cameras one by one.

Is this sufficient? And is there any benefit of extra 2 gigabit ports?

Should be. You can connect other devices to the Gigabit non-poe ports. Let us say that you want to connect another PC in your room where the switch is located. You can connect the upstream to one of the gigabit ports and your PC to the second gigabit port. Your PC will have gigabit speeds. But, all your cameras will work at 100mbps connection as all POE ports are 100mbps. For cameras it is more than enough.

I think this is better. All ports are POE and gigabit. Much more future proof.
