Are i-PRO cameras able to use Passive PoE power sourcing equipment?

Answer

No, i-PRO cameras are unable to use Passive PoE power sourcing equipments. 
Power may be turned on in some Passive PoE power sourcing equipments,
but it cannot be guaranteed to operate. 
Furthermore, it cannot be guaranteed safety due to no safety circuit
such as erroneous connection protectors.
 
*Passive PoE power sourcing equipment does not conform to IEEE802.3af standard. 
Negotiation between i-PRO cameras and Passive PoE power sourcing equipment, 
does not conduct, and known cables in layout for Type B of IEEE802.3af standard are used instead. 
And in some Passive PoE power sourcing equipments, a transmittable distance is only from 30 m to 40 m
 (It is 100 m based on the IEEE802.3af standard).
