What is Reddit's opinion of PoE Splitter Compatible with Nest Cam Outdoor & Nest Cam Indoor, iPads and Other Tablets, Remote USB Power Over Ethernet, Use with PoE Switches, 5Volts 10 Watts Output by Wasserstein (Female USB)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

there are a pair of POE ethernet jacks up there for the access point, so I just power the base station with one of these - the directly attached coaxial plug fits perfectly in the base station

I've had one of these powering my Ring Alarm base, it might help if you can find a device that doesn't natively do POE.

And this (if you are using non IQ Nest Outdoor cameras): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAGVVF6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you're using Nest IQ they don't use a USB connection if I remember correctly. You would need to find an ethernet to USB-C adapter.

Then you just purchase an exterior rated cat6 cable from Monoprice and use a plastic junction box to house the USB splitter transition. I ran my cat6 into my garage and they run off an outlet in there.

you can, I did for a while and it was awesome. I actually have two that I would sell you if you need one, last time I checked they were OOS on amazon

I have two of these -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAGVVF6

they were $30 for 2

I don't know about those but I'm using this one for a few months without issue on my nest outdoor. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01NAGVVF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_HK5BJA80HS9MRNNVJ956?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a couple of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAGVVF6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_YZ2IFb3H0HVTR. No problem, i hope things work out for you!

That's for Nest IQ. The OP didn't say IQ.

OP - I would ditch the power cord and rewire your camera(s) via PoE. I have 4 Nest outdoor cameras all running on PoE flawlessly.

There are a few 3rd party companies that make PoE adapters, but I can't speak to their effectiveness, or reliability, or anything.
