That sounds backwards. If it had a Wago connect like the router, you could much more easily accidentally plug it into the 12 volt router supply.

The way the power distribution system was designed, all of the white Wago connectors are for 12 volt power (24 volts to the Solenoid Breakout was an afterthought). The camera power supply is exceptional; it was originally the only 5 volt device in the system, and it uses the special no-connector port so you can't accidentally plug it into a 12 volt supply.
