Hello,
I have an attached garage to which I will be adding 5 - 7 cameras to ( interior and exterior), I will be installing conduit and pulling cat5 from the basement to the garage. Is there any disadvantage/advantage to home runs all 5-7 cameras to the basement w a single 16 port poe switch OR could a pull a single cat5 connection to the garage and have an 8 port poe switch located in the garage connected back to a switch in the basement
It would be less cabling /simpler to pull a single cable but not sure if I would saturate that link between the garage and basement?
The run from the basement to the garage would be close to 100’from the switch to camera.
Not sure if there is attenuation at the length for the poe etc.
The basement is where all my network equipment is and where I will be hosting my BI server.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
