I have an unused coax cable (probably RG-59) that I would like to use for a POE IP camera in a location where it would be difficult to pull a cat5 cable.
I picked up a couple of these DECA connectors (Directv Ethernet Coaxial Adapter--DTV's much cheaper version of MOCA to put ethernet on coax) on Amazon. I wondered if anyone has any experience or thoughts on whether I can inject the power for the camera on the switch/injector side (with this injector) of the DECA/coax connection (rather than on the camera side)--in effect, putting power on the coax with the camera signal. I couldn't find anything that suggested anyone was doing it...
If not, I'll need to abandon the injector for this one camera and use a separate wall wart to power the camera at the camera location (in addition to the power for the DECA connector at that end).
I'd prefer not to fry the camera or the DECA connectors....
Thanks.
