Running cameras in my place and I pulled 4 cables to the front of the house, but I'm realizing that I should have pulled 5... It's a real pain (far end of garage, up to second floor, through attic, down exterior wall into permanent storage cabinets, and finally out into covered roof space with screwed in soffit material... blech).
Thinking, as an alternative to running another cable, i might be able to just use an inexpensive passthrough PoE switch. Cameras only need about 6W each, so splitting one run to two or three cameras should be ok I'd think.
Any suggestions on a cheap unit? I'm in Canada if that changes your suggestion.
