Please go easy on me as I am new to this and attempting to do this myself.
I am currently building an outhouse at the back of my garden.
The main electric wiring is all done by a qualified electrician but now opted to get a WAP in there aswell as a outdoor security camera, both will be POE, I have currently run x2 cat6 dtech cables from my main house to the outhouse, 1 cable will be for the WAP, 2nd cable will be for RJ45 socket and I have run a 3rd cable from WAP to security camera.(none is connected)
This is where I need some guidance from your kindselves!
I believe I need a POE switch, will just the one switch be enough?
How do I go about connecting the WAP and the security camera?
Will the RJ45 socket need to be connected to the POE switch or will it be OK just to run the cat6 from main sky hub router to the outhouse?
I'm sure u all have plenty of questions and I will answer as the best as I can.
Your help and guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks
