The builtin POE which comes from an ethernet switch uses a switched mode power supply, which can produce a lot of wideband noise.

I have my cameras connected with a seperate clean (lineair) power supply with an external POE adapter.

POE, but you don't want that I think.

YMMV but I have been going to mostly POE (Power Over Ethernet) myself.  You
don't have to run a separate power line to the camera (usually 12v) or
locate it near an outlet.  If you are using a wired camera (instead of
WiFi), why not run the power over the ethernet line, it makes it a lot
easier.
