That is the exact adapter that I have used at my house. I didn't use it for IP cameras, but for a wifi access point and getting internet to a satellite receiver. I did not have very good luck with it, but that could easily have been my home's electrical wiring. The AP would go offline often and I had to unplug the adapter and plug it back in essentially rebooting it. When streaming video from the internet on the satellite receiver, it rarely worked. I switched over to a deca and that fixed it.

For what it's worth, I've never tried a different model powerline adapter. I did try 3 of the same adapter though. Perhaps someone else on the forum can chime in with their positive experiences and the models they are using.

Also, if you want to pay for shipping, you can have mine.

Real-world performance of powerline adapters is always well below the supposed max. A 200Mbps adapter might only give you 10-20mbps. Lots of variables.
