    Smart receptacles

    That does bring up another thought though. Those receptacles with built in USB are obviously in the same box, combininghigh and low voltage. But maybe they're ok cuz the low voltage is directly powered off the High voltage. Not separately powered.

    Smart receptacles

    Oh duh IP Switch, seems so obvious after one finds it. Apparently from the reviews it can be set to ping a site if no reply it can power cycle. That could be useful for keeping remote equipment online.

    Smart receptacles

    Nope not powerline. Regular smart plugs like this that plug in and give remote control. Except have an rj45 as an option to connect. https://www.amazon.com/TanTan-Assistant-Required-Anywhere-Upgraded/dp/B071LLWLLP/ref=sr_1_3?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1546722382&sr=1-3&keywords=smart+plug But I...

    Smart receptacles

    That's kinda the conclusion I've come to but thought I would see if anyone knew of any. Guess I'll have to resort to adding a router with a separate ssid to connect smart plugs to. But yes that is essentially what's needed. Probably to industrially priced for my current need

    A smart receptacle that can connect to LAN by rj45 instead of wifi.

    Are there any RJ45 smart receptacles available? Everything I've seen so far is always wifi

    buying an IP camera

    A while back I bought a Tmobile AC1900 branded router did some research and uploaded an original Asus AC68u firmware which turns it back into a regular Asus router not the limited Tmobile. It has dual WAN with USB ability and failover to secondary in either order. So any phone or mobile hotspot...

    items to buy along with cameras

    Sure if money is no object. My answer would be a brand new spec doesn't have a large need yet in most cases. Products requiring it will take a while, brands and product availability will take a while before general market. Just like the others did. As time goes on it will provide more equipment...

    network gurus need help on picking out firewall/router

    That's pretty much what I said. We agree it appears you're just trying to argue. But maybe I'm percieviving it wrong. POE+ will allow an easy upgrade to the larger PTZ and it doesn't cost that much more. Which is the same principle that you seem to preach. A little bit extra to get more.

    items to buy along with cameras

    I hear you...I should have used different adjectives and said something like some of the larger fancier PTZ spec POE+. I could have worded it different. Are you implying you haven't used any POE+ spec'd cams or that you have run them all fine on the af switches?

    Oops ya got me yep clueless, awwe shucks couldn't get nuttin past you guys. Fair enough I used an overly broad adjective should have said many or some instead of most. Yes I'm human too. In the grand scheme...POE+ switch opens more doors to upgrades and is a good choice if someone is trying to...

    Camera mounted in owl box

    Oh apparently you haven't talked to some of the people I have. Like seeing deer in a field and asking oh are they out this time of year, or does it work if the batteries are dead. I could go on
