Getting comfortable
This would be for two fixed varifocal Dahuas mounted on the same tree at max or near max cat5e cable run of 300ft.
I imagine I need to run two sets of cables bc one cable can't be split to run two cameras? I have no easy access to power where the cameras will be, hence the need for Poe. I hear the other option is to use a powerline Ethernet adapter. And that would allow me to run a much much shorter direct burial line but then I need to find power inside the guest house and run the cable outside and wasn't sure if I need another POE+ injector to power each camera. And wasn't sure if that guest house is on the same 120v power line and whether they would be able to talk to each other if not. Either way, this sound more complex and less reliable the just running two very long cables out to the cameras and keeping all the power coming from my Dahua POE switch.
We have a fair amount of thunderstorms and lightning here, although never been hit nearby that I know about. It sounds like a surge protector for each nice outdoor camera on a tree is in order now.
