To be perfectly honest, I prefer using PoE injectors over letting a switch with PoE provide the power. All it takes is for someone to unplug that port from the switch and plug something else in for a quick test or selecting the wrong port to turn PoE on in the switch configuration and all of a sudden, poof, goes the magic grey smoke....
I would agree, except I would be the only one plugging or unplugging things,
My deployment is 2 homes over a wireless bridge, and am trying to get a camera into my wife's hair salon.
I am starting to realize, I may have to use a different brand for the salon, since it will be using a cellular WAP for its connectivity. It does not need to come back tp the main home network.
We just need to be able to have motion activated, IR capable security at her salon, to make sure 2 recently departed booth renters are not entering unlawfully.
I know I could change the locks and be done with it. But her landlord is a POS attorney at that, think slum lord. And I want proof of illegal entering if they so dare.
