Will Poe work in this case?

Will Power over Ethernet (PoE) function properly if I utilize this wall socket depicted in the attached image? It appears to be similar to a keystone, resembling a network jack with wall-mounting capabilities. I am contemplating using the Dream Machine Special Edition along with a couple of Camera G4 Pro devices, but I want to ensure compatibility before making an investment. My plan is to run Cat6 cable from the Dream Machine to this wall plate, then connect it to another plate in a different room, and finally link the camera via another Cat6 cable. I'll have two of these wall plates in use, so I just want confirmation that this setup will indeed work. If anyone has encountered a similar situation, could you please advise if this configuration is viable?

That looks like it's just a regular punch-down keystone behind a fancy cover, so yes. PoE will work fine.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

It should work fine as long as your total run isn't too long. Usually you want to be 100 meters or less or 326ft or less.
