The cheap network adapters that I use typically have an HR911105 (or similar) RJ45 connector which is not compatible with POE. I’ve looked but have yet to find any of these adapters with POE, so I decided to…

The traditional solution (after eyes, photograpic plates, vidicon, etc. ) was to use an analogue security camera with low-light sensitivity. For many years, this was the Watec…
