Will this camera work properly with just connecting a cat 6 cable or does it also need a POE switch to power the spotlights?

Well it looks like you can use a normal 12v 2amp power supply. However looking at the Max with all things on the data sheet says it only requires about 650ma. With that said I always like to keep with at least double the current rate for the power supply so that is why I said a 2amp Wall Wort would be fine.

There are cheap switches that you can buy that is POE to power this and there is also POE Injectors that you can use to power it as well. So there are options. However if you have power next to the place you want to power this camera then yes you can power it with a 12v power supply..
Here to help the best I can.
