I apologize if something similar has been posted. Didn't find my answers on the search or while browsing.

I'm trying to set up two indoor and two outdoor IP cameras with PoE. I know which cameras I'd likely be using and where I'll be placing them, my main issue is cable management.

For the cameras that are outdoors, will I have to run a cat5e from the camera through the house and to my router (which has available ports) or can I use the Ubiquiti Loco as a virtual cat5 cable? If I can use the Loco to transmit power and data (via the included PoE injector), then the next question is... do I still have to connect the Loco via Cat5 to the router? Do I need two Loco's - one at the router, one at the outdoor camera? If I still have to run cables across the house from the outside, then maybe using the Loco's defeats the purpose. What splitters, injectors, switches will I need to keep things as clutter-free as possible with this set up?

Any advise so I can make some headway on my project would be appreciated.
