      From: x@y.Invalid              Thanks John.       Thanks Winston.       Thanks Gordon.       Thanks Pete              In light of the abovementioned wisdom, here's my plan:       ----------------------------------------------------------       1) Run Cat5e to the shed and just leave it laying on the        ground pending proof-of-concept.                     2) Use a POE-compliant IE camera or power the camera with        a POE splitter.                     3) If things work out with just the cam, get some of that        Cat5e with the goop inside that's meant for burial        and bury it any way I can.                     4) If the cam still needs a light, try the solar-powered        flood, but don't get my hopes up capacity-wise.                     5) If the combo solar-flood/cam is still not getting it,        call an electrical guy for an estimate - stipulating        I bury the cable per his specs and his job is limited        to terminating said cable at each end.                     6) Bury the Cat5e and whatever the electrical guy specs        for the 120v in 2" PVC pipe (or whatever is acceptable        to him) leaving a few pull strings against future bright        ideas from Yours Truly.               Use a DitchWitch, try for 18" deep and settle for 6"        if necessary (we are on a shale ridge)       ----------------------------------------------------------              Anybody see any problems there?       --       Pete Cresswell              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
