Just bought a poe++ switch to power it. Which one do you guy recommend? They all our comparable but which is better? I plan to use it for for a couple LPR that are down towards the road. Is there a better option?
What do you recommend UniFi Switch Flex or TP-Link Omada SG2005P-PD

I like the form factor of the TP-LINK better and feel it would provide more varied and flexible mounting scenarios than the Ubiquiti Flex. It should have a skinnier profile when up on a pole.
I also like the reset button up underneath near the Ethernet ports; it appears the reset button for the Flex is on the back and you'd have to un-mount it to get to it, hard to tell.
With either one, be sure to coat the male and female RJ-45's with dielectric grease. Maybe even crimp an empty RJ-45 male so it's contacts will retract, coat it with grease and stick it in any un-used port so as to protect it also.
If mud daubers and wasps are a problem in your area I'd also stuff some duct seal up inside the opening and around those ports.
