Partly because of your help, I now have a pretty decent HA set-up with lights and motion sensors. I was wondering if I could again pick your brain/ experience with the next step I need to take: add a camera.
A few days ago I bought a TAPO camera, and to my disappointment it was practically impossible to get it working without an app + account. Luckily I could return it.
I now want to avoid making the same mistake 😬 And I would love to hear how you approached this.
So they’re connected to the network, but only the network inside the house (think LAN), so no internet
But are they connected to the router with an ethernet cable (which is what PoE implies, if I understand it correctly) or through wifi?
PoE implies Power Over Ethernet. It just implies it gets power from an Ethernet cable. It doesn’t imply connection to the wider Internet.
