G+_Adrian Jezierski Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Awesome show on the security camera setup. My on question for the community is routing power out to the cameras. If they're PoE, that's self explanatory put the cameras listed require a separate power source. Or is there a PoE version? Thanks all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 There are many cameras that work with Synology Surveillance Station - including POE models. Another option, however, is to use something like this to inject power at the router and break it out again at the camera: power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft. amazon.com - Amazon.com: WS-POE-5v-kit 5 volt power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft.: Computers & Accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Probably worth verifying the voltage and amperage needs of the camera too, to make sure this will work. I just saw it as a Q/A on the Amazon post and someone said it works for them. I'm sure it would be fine, but I'd probably double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've been looking at these cameras for a while. They're not "outdoor" cameras, but I might get one to mount outside the garage under a covering anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Horovitz Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I have four foscams around my house and like you said they are listed as inside only but I have one attached to the underside of my front porch awning and it has been working for over a year but oddly I have had to replace two of the ones inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Do security cameras call out the sensor size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
