*** "Kill-a-watt" is a cool tool ***

I measured the power consumption of the webcam with a "kill a watt". It uses about 4-5 watts when OEM power supply is plugged into an outlet. With the homemade PoE (Power over Ethernet) setup it uses 7-8 watts. Stay tuned. I am planning to reduce that consumption with a more efficient DC-2-DC converter.
