Modern cameras use IP over Ethernet and usually get power over the Ethernet cable. This means you'll need either a switch that supports PoE or a PoE injector. On 04/15/2019 09:05 PM, Karen Lewellen wrote:
Would I be guessing correctly that the hard wired option does not need Ethernet, simply powered by electricity? Also, from a prior note does not the ip camera include something to direct the data somewhere? The video analytic idea might help, teach it to ignore me opening my front door, but flag anyone else. My sense about ip cameras is that something must control the camera. Alvin's idea about uploading footage to an ftp caught my attention because that process might be straight forward from a screen reader standpoint. I cannot monitor the footage, which is why I am hoping for a notification process.

again a dictionary question, what is poe?
Power over Ethernet. It used power from the network switch, carried over the Ethernet cable, to power some device, such as a camera. I use it here to power my WiFi access point.
