    Poe ip camera with access point

    Has anyone tried to split a cable into 2 circuits? My spitters should be here soon. You can wire your own, but I wasn't in a hurry. ( $1.00 each) OP could put camera on one circuit and AP on the other. Need to check out if poe still works, but would need power for AP anyway.
