Hey guys,
Im currently building a new house in Australia. I have found a cabler that is going to run cat6 cables from various places around the house to a patch panel (around 12 cables).
Now doing a bit of research into IP megapixel cameras has got me interested and it is something I plan to do sometime later down the track.
Now say I was going to install ~5 of these IP megapixel cameras around the house and make use of POE. Would it be alright to run these cables to the same patch panel as the other network cables I will be running?
So it would go:
PC network cables (Cat6) around the house (x12) + Cat6 cables in the ceilings and roofs inside/outside the house for the IP cameras (~x5) ->to ONE 24port patch panel.
If that is right, what happens after that.
Can I just buy a 24port switch that has POE and then plug all the cameras and PCs into the same switch? Is this secure/safe?
Sorry about the newb questions, just researching at the moment!
