Would / Does this system work? I assume the camera doesn't care how it gets network as long as it gets it, straight home run or through powerlines? POE+ switch in between would act as the power distribution unit?

Need some help wrapping my head around this> If I have three sites, and multiple cameras at each site, right now I've got ports forwarded in my router which I know isn't the safest thing (10+ years of IT knowledge here) My family uses these cameras to "see what is out there" at our vacation...
