Poe ip camera with access point

[brad2388]

So i have 4 reolink ip cameras on the corners of our house.
Is it possible to add an access point to the same cat 5 with the poe for the camera?

I need wifi signal outdoors at our patio and was hoping to not run another cable out there.

Can it be done?

Can't recommend reolink or wireless . You will learn .

i dont think he's wanting to run a WiFi camera; he's already got the Reolinks (suck yea) and wants to split the PoE line so he can run a PoE outdoor access point.. I'd suggest the Ubiquiti UniFi Outdoor

I have the UniFi AC pro's also throughout the house and the Amazon.com: Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor+ Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz speed, speed upto 300 Mbps: Computers & Accessories strapped to my chimney to provide outdoor access to the front/back yards..

Inside everything is on 5GHz with an access point on each level, and outdoors is 2.4Ghz and another SSID so I can run it on full power and everything dont try to roam over to it.. I just move over manually when im outside and 5Ghz starts sucking.

I have mine to boot off user at a certain dbm. Then it roams to the next ap.

It works pretty well.

my problem is that the 2.4GHz Outdoor on my fireplace @ full power pretty much has the same dBm or better as the ones in my living room and top floor.. I wanted speed indoors so I just nuked 2.4GHz WiFi entirely because I have enough spread throughout the house I can get 400Mbps+ from anywhere..

The outdoor units are quite powerfull compared to the indoor units; they trying to cover much larger areas; I use it to also provide free wifi to anyone within range.. cuz cellular connections suck here and im just cool like that... Open Wireless Movement

I have plenty of Mbps throughout my house. But using Comcast as my ISP, I'm limited to ~50Mbps down, and ~6Mbps up.
I use a EnGenius ENS1200 Dual Band AC1200 High-powered/Long-range Wireless Outdoor AP.
No chimmey mounted AP for my neighbors.... I'm stingy w/ my comcast b/w.

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.

I linked the proper device in the first post; and no you cant split 802.3AF/AT, it can potentially use any of the 4 pairs depending on what mode the powering device wants to use.
