I went PoE, I don't want batteries to charge and also I wanted something that can play nice with Frigate.

It goes through the wall to a spot in my garage very near where I need it, so I got an ethernet jack installed on the opposite side of the wall to make it easy. I was gonna do it myself but couldn't get my courage up to drill a hole in a super obvious spot by the front door because I wasn't sure it would ever be fixable if I screwed it up 😅

In the end I got some bloke in, $125 in parts and labour (not including the camera that I already had) they were done in less than an hour.
