I'm looking at an installation covering a fairly large area, so I'd like to be able to daisy-chain 3-4 POE-enabled switches in series, each of which will be up to 200' away from one another, and each one of which (aside from the main one in the closet, which will be progressively farther away) will run three or four nearby 2-3 MP cams. The geographical topography is such that this just seems the most efficient approach, while maintaining the <100 meter suggested limit per run.
I'm just concerned whether this might introduce possible problems such as latency. I hope to have two separate branches like this connected to that first main switch, which will in turn be gatewayed (CAN that be a verb?) to a router for DHCP serving. I'm thinking the switches should all have 1Gbt capability.
Really appreciate any opinions on this...
