WS-6-MINI POE config

I am powering my WS-6-MINI via port 1 with an Ubiquiti injector, model GP-C500-120G. The rated power output is 50V max 1.5A.

I connected an IP cam to port 6, verified the port is set to 24v, and connected the camera; The camera, Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) is 12V and draws 5.5W max.
The camera will not power on via POE from the WISP. I have connected the camera directly to the injector, and that works just fine.

Aside from activating the port to 24V, is there an additional step I need to take to power the camera? Am I simply misunderstanding how POE works?

That cam is only 12V if powered separately. Powered over ethernet, it is 802.3af so you need to set the PoE to 48V.
