C8 is picky about power... See this discussion if as a part of this you're not going to use the included USB power puck.

PoE and the C8 (with extensive testing)

In the hope that it will be useful to others, I thought I'd share my testing of the C8 powered via PoE. There have been many references to issues when powering C7/C8 units using Unifi switches, but it should be understood that these issues are not specific to Unifi.
