Need to place a WiFi AP as well as an IP camera (different locations); both devices are not near any power outlet. Is PoE (non standard*) a solution for such cases? From what I have seen on web sites, these contraptions have two units, one near the switch to inject the DC voltage + the LAN pairs and the second near the device end to tap out the DC and separate the LAN pairs. I am not sure if 12VDC/1A (the input power requirement for AP and camera) is sustainable over the CAT5 pairs.
Furthermore, Google searching for products came across the DLink DWL-P200. Has anyone on this list used the product? All suggestions welcome.
* not the 48V as per 802.3af Standard.
