Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am setting up my home security before I move in to my new place. For my purpose I bought 3 Tapo C210s and 2 Tapo C310s. What I didn't realize is that each camera needs to be plugged using its own adapter and that it doesn't accept PoE. My bad.

For aesthetics and security, I don't want to expose the wires and the power adapters when they are installed. I want them hidden in the ceiling, and possibly plugged in a centralized "hub" which I can control/switch. My concerns are:

1. Is this possible?

2. If yes, is there a certain length of power cable that allows for this work, i.e., beyond which the power to the cameras will be significantly reduced and can affect performance?

3. If no, what would you suggest I do for this setup?

Thank you in advance for anyone who can offer insights.
