Yeah, use those passive PoE injector/splitters from Tycon power that John linked. Though keep in mind there's a different part number for the injector and splitter. One has a female barrel connector, the other male.

Be aware there are current limits for Cat5, but it's very unlikely you'll run into a problem with a little webcam.

Would the PoE adapters work for this setup? Someone else said that the voltage drop over that distance with 5v would be too great for the camera to work. Is that the case?

Also I've noticed that on the PoE adapters that both ends have a barrel adapter port. One is for the PoE adapter's power supply but the one on the other end supplies power to the LAN device. How would I connect that port to the barrel adapter port on my camera?
