Partly because of your help, I now have a pretty decent HA set-up with lights and motion sensors. I was wondering if I could again pick your brain/ experience with the next step I need to take: add a camera.

A few days ago I bought a TAPO camera, and to my disappointment it was practically impossible to get it working without an app + account. Luckily I could return it.

I now want to avoid making the same mistake 😬 And I would love to hear how you approached this.

yes and no. POE doesn't have to be exclusive, you can also charge them via normal cable. In my case, for example, I don't have them connected to ethernet but to wifi.
