Review on Cqenpr Outdoor Waterproof Watchdog Unmanaged by Kyle Mason

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It solved the problem for me

I installed this in a barn that can get to 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. It is used to power Ubiquiti hotspots, two (2) CCTV cameras all via PoE, and connects to a streaming device, powerline network adapter, PC and TiVo Mini. Prior to this box I had a Ubiquiti US-8-150W installed at this location which worked great all winter but started to fail on hot summer days. I installed this box on the inside roof of my shed and used some perforated flat steel bars to vent behind it. There's a lot to like about Cqenpr; Excellent cable management, a range of mounting options and truly weatherproof. I would have no problem fitting it in from the outside, especially with the cleverly offset door locking system. Please note that the kit does not include a fan, but there is a place to install it. It was not required in my application. The best thing about this switch is that it just works. It never fell out on the hottest days, and it did so without a fan. I wish this was manageable as it would be nice to be able to reset the camera when needed, but it's not needed yet. This solved the problem for me and is highly recommended.
