Doorbell not powering on?

I have two brand new Doorbell WiFi units. I assumed that these are true PoE, so I ran a CAT6 cable to each doorbell location. When it didn’t power on at the doorbell location, I plugged it directly into the Reolink NVR. No go. Then, into my PoE switch. No go. I hooked up the internal power brick and it turns on immediately. Do I have to use the brick to power these things? Are they not PoE capable on their own? I’ll be bummed if I can’t use them. Thanks.
