How do you guys hook up all your ip cams? I'm looking for a better way to do mine.
I live in a double wide so no attic only a craw space. Most of my ip cams are mounted under a deck front and rear and on a flag pole.
I have one CAT6 cable hooked to my router going into the wall and then into the craw space and under the block around the house (yes it's real cement blocks) and that one CAT6 cable goes to a waterproof plastic box mounted under the deck that houses a POE switch and all my IP cams hook to it. Most of the cables are buried under mulch the flag poll one is underground.
And then i ran a extension cord outside to the poe box to power it.
I did it this way since i did't want to bring 8 CAT6 cables up under the house though the wall because that would be a pain but now i'm thinking i should have.
Is there a simpler way?
