@railwayman any modem should work as long as it is in bridged mode to pass all routing features to your POE equipment.

You do not "need" to do it, but if you want to dedicate a "public" (somewhere on the Shaw network) IP-address to the camera, so that you (and others ???) can access the camera from anywhere on the Internet, you have to "bridge" the cable-modem, to get one "public" IP-address for the camera and a second "public" IP-address for your computer.  But, if you want to access the camera only within your home-network, you do not need to "bridge" the cable-modem.

Further, you could configure the cable-modem to pass all network traffic (on a specific TCP/IP port) from the Internet into the "internal-network-only" camera, to make it accessible from the Internet. This is more complex, but is do-able.

POE requires an Ethernet cable to connect the device into some type of power-supply.  Then, the cable carries both "data" and "power".

So, either:

  • you'll need another Ethernet cable to connect the power-supply to your cable-modem, or,
  • you'll have to connect the Ethernet cable directly into the cable-modem, under the assumption that the Hitron will supply POE through the cable.

I know you probably already figured this out buy a Poe injector 

TP-Link TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter, IEEE 802.3af compliant, Up to 100 meters (328 Feet) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001PS9E5I/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_NM5ZKS8MXK1V89YQGBH6

And run your modem like normal none of Shaw's modems have Poe as of yet you may need to open a port on your firewall for the camera but that's about it. 

Hope this helps
