Thanks for that more-detailed explanation.  I sort of had the overall 
idea: there is some leakage otherwise when the microwave is on I 
wouldn't hear the buzzing when the cordless phone is nearby.

...I did get the two Raspberry Pi units switched over to PoE + wired.  
The PoE part wasn't necessary but gave me a good excuse to clean up the 
equipment layout. ...Did have a ~4 second glitch this morning (darn!) 
but as only one camera was recording not telling me too much.  (One of 
the RPi/Motion  cameras looks at the 'left' half of the front yard and 
the other the 'right'.  Activity was only on the left side so can't 
compare to the non-existent right.)

Updated hardware:  2x RPi 4 + their micro-SD cards (though the new cards 
cloned from originals); USB camera (one each Pi), PoE CAT6 to an 
existing PoE Extender, Ethernet (not seeing any markings), PoE Injector, 
more mystery Ethernet cable, gigabit switch, more mystery cable to a RPi 
5 with NVMe storage (we had tested the old NAS which used HDD).
