will be installing 4 more cameras on my qnap system in 2 different outbuildings on property.
I have 4 ports avbl on my current poe switch.
the closest building will need a 125 ft wire to reach location. I want 2 cameras here. so that requires 2 wires at 125 ft.
the second building is another 100 ft or so past the first building, so direct wire would take 200 ft, for 2 camers that's 2 wires at 200 ft.
seems cheaper if I could put another poe switch in first building with 4 ports and just run one main wire to the poe from my house and then shorter wires to the second building.
what about putting a poe sw at both buildings in series that's 3 poe switches in total. would allow future expansion and save some cost over direct wiring
any advise ?
