I'd have to run a wire to have power there. I'm still losing the connection with my wifi pprinter. 3 times now in 4 months. Not very happy with wifi. |

Normally) A switch is just a box with ports, say eight: +----------------------------------------------------------+ | * * * * * * * * | | [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] | | | +----------------------------------------------------------+ Typically, there will be a LED or two per port. All of them are born equal. Any of them can be connected to your router or modem, any of them can be connected to your computer or cameras. If it is "manageable", then you can connect to it from your computer (it has an IP address) and you can "manage" it. Probably you can change any port to be of type POE. Or you can configure one port to be "special" and mirror all the communications of all ports or a single port, so that you can listen to them in a computer and spy on them, er... analyze them for problems. Not all switches are manageable. Some need Windows for the management. Some are not manageable at all. Price vary. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

How big a hole do you have to run wiring ? I would not be particularly interested in drilling holes through window frames :-) It would be neat though, to have a window frame with a couple USB ports on it :-) Think of the resale value. Paul |

That sounds good. I hate unruly switches. >for problems. >Not all switches are manageable. Some need Windows for the management. >Some are not manageable at all. Price vary. Amazon, for example, seemed to have more POE switches than non-POE, and some are manageable. Now I know what that means. I've been reading other stuff from the reviews and the web. It's too cold out to do this before spring, so I've got time to get it right. It's 10PM now and -14^C in my part of Baltimore. Unusually cold for this early, and even colder in the center of the country. |

Humming birds could fly up and recharge, and quad-copters, and space ships. But I've given up on mounting them at the top of the 2nd floor. Now it will be where the second floor overhangs the first floor. It sticks out about 20 inches in the front. I can mount two of the cameras under the overhang and one around corner on the side of the house, and run the wires** up through the overhang and through the bedroom/office floor. They will come out under a bed or between the bed and the desk. I did this before in the other room for the FIOS optical cable and it works well. **The ethernet cable and the power wire for the switch. |

Not very happy with wifi. > Get a better wifi router (or maybe, printer) WiFi will always have disconnects. Shorter, longer, more, fewer... but they will always be there. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

It's rather unlikely that a home user would set out to buy "a switch", and end-up with one that happens to be manageable and support PoE ... wallets normally make that decision unless the user is aware of, and definitely wants both features. |

So I mention them ;-) -- Cheers, Carlos. |
