If you order the new (latest) V3 version of the NON-POE IP2M-841, you could use this POE to 5VDC passive injector for under $10 on amazon ==>>
Thank you for the suggestion. These will be going in a public (church) space and there's no practical way to make a POE splitter look nice. (Especially a black splitter against a white drop ceiling!) They're also a point of failure, and obvious enough to someone from a distance it'll give folks ideas...
I've wished for a long time now that
Amcrest would just incorporate POE into their PT WiFi models. Even as a home user, the camera location I want is all to often not near an outlet. Once you're running a wire, might as well make it a network cable and use POE.
Glad to hear that the newest models are finally using a standard USB jack, though WTF did they have to go with micro? Come on, it's 2021, MICRO?
For $1 more you can get some more flexibility / future proofing -
Since it's USB female you can plug in a longer cord, a USB splitter, a (low power) C, micro, mini or even A device, an older Amcrest camera using the supplied cable, etc.
