Do outside mounted PoE devices (Cameras and Access Points) and Speakers need to have a grounding block to earth installed between indoors and outdoors? The manufacturer of the ethernet devices specify "[FONT="]Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE," this seems like it handles problems caused by ESD but doesn't address requirements in section 800. Someone else indicated to me that devices under the eves are technically considered indoors and not required to have the additional primary protection device.

The scenarios for this install are
POE cameras mounted on brick facade of residential building
POE cameras mounted so soffit under eves of residential building
POE cameras mounted to deck attached to residential building
Speakers mounted to deck attached to residential building.
