It’s cheapest and best way they turn your existing power cables into network something like this https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa7017-kit/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like this mid-span one? https://www.amazon.com/Loryta-Extender-Repeater-Ethernet-Splitter/dp/B07RQ569MF There's also others labelled as 'POE extenders' with two (or even 4) ports. This is a Chinese one from AliExpress. Does the exact same as the Amazon linked one above. On 5/31/2022 at 8:28 AM, tomcctv said: Ok then the best way is to use two power line units ….

Hi yes it is except op did say can’t run cables to camera locations plus you have given diagram for 650ft run which is also not needed so a Poe switch with power adapter give the option to run 4 cameras with no cables back to nvr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
