Hey guys,
Newbie here. Had a blink system before but thats not really anything but mounting some camera's. Didn't really like the system. Not really comfortable running a bunch of wires through the house, so after researching, I decided to get some Wyze cameras for the price/quality/low subscription cost (for the things I want).
A quick layout of the house...a colonial w/ 2 stories above ground. I have a garage in the basement below grade. There is already a motion light in the middle of the house between the 2 garage doors. My goal is to buy the WYZE floodlight for that spot. I would like another v3 light all the way up at the top corner of the house for the front yard. I could always buy the solar power and just put a Wyze Outdoor camera there, but im trying to save a few bucks and from experience, I dont trust solar power too much during winter time.
I am trying to figure out a way to power a v3 all the way up there off the 2nd outlet that is on the floodlight that you can use to power v3's. I can't just buy an extension cord because it's too long a distance from the floodlight...across the house and up a little over 2 stories. I have seen that you can power the v3's w/ PoE, which I think would help due to the long distance from the power source I want to use.
What adaptor's would I need/recommend for this? Or is it even a good idea, or is there a better way.
I know I need just a regular PoE like the one below (are some water proof/better for outside)
Amazon PoE example
But how would I put the cat5 end into the floodlight. Is there another adaptor for that?
Thanks for any help or recommendations you have.
