    2mp versus 8mp

    The specs on the page you linked state that the camera is rated as IP67... which means the unit can be dropped into a body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour. (The spec is listed under the Environmental section as Ingress Protection.) So, yes, it is weatherproof... IP68 would be...

    Network layout for first timer

    Another hijack here... Given the setup as @fenderman outlined above, would there be any down side to connecting other network devices to the same POE switch as the cameras and BI PC?
