That works well but also requires AC power to the camera. Since venturing into the attic or under the house to run cable is not something I willingly do, I solved my connection problem with a wireless WiFi extender with Ethernet capability. It worked well but I didn’t need or want security in that room. I originally set the camera up that way to test the software and connection. My home is pretty much wireless, so a wired connection to the router would require the ReoLink RCL-410 to be within cabling distance and an Ethernet cable to be strung. If your router supports PoE you can use a PoE (Power over Ethernet) connection to your router, which will supply both power and connection with one cable, otherwise you’ll need to use the supplied power adapter to a regular AC outlet and a wired Ethernet connection to your router. The ReoLink RCL-410 requires power and network connectivity.
The cable from the camera terminates into inputs for Ethernet and the AC power adapter and a reset button. The ReoLink RCL-410 security camera comes with a 3.5 foot AC power adapter, a 1 meter network cable, 3 mounting screws, a Quick Start guide, a CD with the ReoLink Desktop client software, a security sticker and a mysterious black weatherproof guard and washer that doesn’t seem to fit anything.
