You seem to be knowledgeable. What camera can I use to plug in into a light bulb socket and have it use powerline communication? Wi-Fi is fine too, but would prefer PLC.

    e: Oh, sorry I misread your question. I haven't seen a lightbulb socket powerline adapter. There's no reason why they can't exist though afaik. e2: Lighbulb socket -> power plug adapter -> insert the rest here

    You'd use a few things in a chain. Socket -> Ethernet over Power connection -> Cat6 cable -> Power over Ethernet injector -> Cat6 -> PoE Camera

    If you want to hook up multiple cameras to one power plug, go Socket -> Ethernet over Power -> Switch -> PoE power injector on each of your camera lines -> etc

    You can also buy switches that do the PoE injection for you so you don't need multiple injectors. You'd have to compare the prices, but the PoE switch is likely cheaper than a regular switch + multiple PoE injectors.
