Here is my hardware:
Core switch
Nortel (Now Avaya) 5520-24T-PWR POE gigabit switch
https://support.avaya.com/products/P0611/ethernet-routing-switch-5000-series/
8 Swann HD 1080P POE IP Bullet Cameras
http://www.costco.com/Swann-HD-1080p-NVR-IP-Add-on-Bullet-Camera-2-pk.product.100039914.html
4 Zyxel IPC4605N 720P Pan and tilt IR IP non-POE Cameras
http://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/ipc4605n.shtml?t=p
4 passive POE splitters AIR802

Plan
After learning how to configure the nortel switch (should be pretty easy, read up on the manual already), I think the Swann cameras should be plug and play in regards to POE. They work fine using the NVR that came with them which has a 6 port POE switch built in.
However, the indoor Zyxel's are another story, they are not natively POE, and take a 12V/2A DC power source. So my plan is to inject POE into the cables going to them with the Nortel switch, and use a POE splitter at the far end by the camera to extract said DC voltage.
My unknown is that i dont know if 12V/2A will be extractable with a passive POE splitter like the one linked. Thats a pretty hefty load (because the cameras have PTZ and IR on em).
Guidance on if my plan will work?
