Your internet speed comes down to: What is actually plugged into the cable modem?
You have a distribution panel - a patch panel - if you plug into the outlets in your house connected to them, if they are not connected to a switch or hub that is connected to the cable modem, they will immediately default to the wifi on the cable modem.
Your patch panel - that distribution panel - is just a way of getting electrons from one place to another. IMO you need a switch - 12 port switch that gets your patch panel from all the nice clean runs in your house back to - probably your garage? - to your cable modem in a way that passes electrons.
Your cameras might be plugged into the only accessible ports on that cable modem.

Thank you for all of your help. I will definitely look into all of that tomorrow. I may have a professional come look at this because this may be above my capabilities.
