i just need POE to power the camera. the adapter/bridge will be powered normally by the wall.
this is what im trying to do. if that makes it any more clearer. i just want to send that data over wireless from the bridge to router. the power brick that bridge would use would be plugged into a normal outlet then cat5 poe ran to the camera. again this is pending that if they make a wireless bridge that does POE injection
What I was trying to say is, if you have power there for the wireless bridge, why not just plug the POE injector for the camera into same outlet?
I think a Ubiquiti Nanostation with a Ubiquiti UniFi Camera is as close as you are going to get for this. The Nanostation has a secondary ethernet port on it that can be set to passthrough mode.
well reason being i want to run just one cable-cat5. and the distance of the outlet where the bridge will be plugged in is further than the position of the camera.
Oh lol yea that's what I meant. I wanted to see if I can reduce the mess of running the wireless bridge and a seperate poe and have one bridge that does poe
The issue with the Ubiquiti devices is their odd POE spec. All of the Nanostation stuff uses 24v POE, not the industry standard 48v POE. the OP is best off with a basic wireless bridge and a cheap POE injector. If you do find something that offers this, it will be FAR more expensive due to niche-market status.

Ubiquiti POE is industry standard, you're just in the wrong industry. They primarily make gear for use on towers, where the standard is 24v. 24v is nice because you can string two 12v SLA batteries, or four 6v SLA batteries together, to provide battery backup with minimal loss in tight quarters.
That being said, OP is looking for a single port POE device. The money he/she saves from using Ubiquiti products (which all include POE injectors) will outweigh any potential savings from being able to scale easily later on.
Also, Ubiquiti uses passive POE, you can get injectors off eBay for $5. The licensing for using 802.3af in a product costs more than $5.
A nanostation, two injectors, and a UniFi camera runs about $190 total.
Fair enough, but the OP alluded to an existing camera, rather than purchasing a new one, negating the compatibility of a 24v POE system. Agreed that 24v is the standard for tower equipment, but until the latest generation of AP's all Ubiquity's indoor devices were 24v in a realm where .af/.at is the standard. Thus the "odd" comment.
Wow, we're all full of fight tonight, arent' we? I was agreeing with you guys...
