General discussion • Re: Communicating between 2 RPI's

1. Cat6 is not ideal as a power cable, though it will probably work over that distance. A thicker 2-core cable would be better. Remember, you will need 12V to 5V converters for each Pi0.
2. No version of the Pi0 has Ethernet, so to use that you would need a USB to Ethernet dongle for each Pi0, and of course a hub at the Pi4.
3. If you use Pi0W or Pi02W, WiFi (or Bluetooth) is available. You will need plastic (not metal) housings, and you will need to run the Pi4 as an Access Point.
4. You could consider re-sizing the images at each Pi0, in order to minimise the file size transfer from Pi0 to Pi4.
