After taking a post-initial-research-break, I just finished some renovations on my house and have started pulling my own low voltage cabling. After testing out a few cameras from AliExpress I'm likely going to build out a more considerable system in the next few weeks.

And I'm also a dufus having forgotten that this camera was already POE capable. After removing the POE splitter the camera continues to function flawlessly (for the moment) in my demo environment. (but based on other people's reports of Huisun POE circuit failures and general poor quality I may...
