I just bought the JideTech 5MP PTZ WiFi Camera Outdoor with 5X Optical Zoom Camera. Since the power adapter is too short, I was thinking of either getting a power extension with the 2.1mm x 5.5mm connectors, or POE injector. I contacted JideTech and they said I can connect a POE splitter to the camera, then connect to a NVR or router with POE function. I am not using a NVR for the cameras (no plan at the moment). What do I need if I want to connect a POE injector to the camera? Most of the POE injectors I saw comes with a POE splitter as a kit.
The cameras would installed outdoor, but the HOA said we cannot drill holes thru the walls nor install cable covers / raceways outside. Our only option is to run the network cable into the house via the patio door and casement window, so the ethernet cable would have to be the flat type so the patio door and casement window can close as much as possible. I hope no one can pry the door / window open with the cable running thru them. The nearest power outlet is approx 30 feet away from where we plan to mount each of the 2 cameras.
Can someone suggest the items (POE splitter, injector, special network cable, etc) we would need for the above setup? Is there a certain type of network cable we would need for outdoor without cover / raceway? I see POE injectors with different watts, etc.
This is the camera I bought.
