Security Cameras General Discussion

[Bernard50330]

First excuse my bad english.

I have 3 outdoor cameras with HomePlug Powerline and WiFi to my computer.

I often lost my 3 cameras in Alert Commander and I want to connect these 3 cameras with cable Ethernet together.

I don't know how to realize the network. Must I use a switch ? a router ?

Can somebody give me explanation and possibly to send me a plan ?

Thanks for tour help.

What you need to eliminate the HomePlug stuff is a switch that has PoE ports...here is an example...

You simply connect it to your router via one of the non-PoE ports, and your cameras would go to the PoE ports...that's it. 

If you have your router on a UPS, just put the switch there too...so your cameras would thus be on UPS and protected from the minor power outages.
