Home cameras/Ethernet Over Power/Switch into router?

[CS1983]

Anyone done home cameras, such as D-Link, w/ Ethernet over Power adapter (preferably a pass through adapter which has a port for DC plug of cam), run a multi-port adapter from outlet into a switch, which plugs into home router?

Want to get opinions on this sort of setup before I go inventing a square wheel.

Interested in:

1) Did it work? If so, was the setup as described?
2) What sort of configuration issues did you run into?
3) Any thoughts on how to best do this without going a wi-fi route

I've done 2 cameras w/ EoP plugged into home router before, and it worked. I'd just like to cut down on outlet usage and add cameras.

If I could also save home router ports for home server and main computer, that would be ideal.
