    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Is there anyway to setup this Reolink door bell without any internet connectivity or more importantly without using Reolink proprietary tools (iOS/Android/Windows clients)? Like, can I simply plug it into a router that has DHCP server already to assign it an IP and then browse to the IP and it...

    Best wall-mounted touch screen viewer of feed?

    I've only discovered some old posts about this so I apologize if this has been brought up recently. I'm running BI with 7 Dahua cameras. I have pre-wired CAT6 to two locations in my home, stubbed out of the wall, with the intent of putting some type of security camera viewer touch screen at...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I have a question and apologize ahead of time for only reading 20 of the 77 pages thus far so it may have already been addressed. :lmao: Will the Reolink DB (PoE) work with the included Reolink chime even if you block all internet access to the door bell? I am thinking about installing this...

    Stucco finish - semi-buried junction box

    Friends, I affixed the rear piece of the Dahua PFA121 junction box to the plywood of a house. It then got stucco application installed. The result is that the rear piece that is secured to the plywood is buried by the stucco 1/8" give or take. I can install the front piece that the camera...

    Does this look like a 'random' house egging to you?

    Seems targeted. It would be weird to egg a house randomly but then again I'm not a teenager with a half functioning brain. I actually laughed at how fast they ran back to the vehicle and sped off. If I didn't know the context I would have said they just robbed a bank!

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    This is more in-line with what I was thinking. Getting some batteries to power a POE switch (or maybe just some POE injectors to reduce total power usage as the switch is probably 3 watts) and then finding a mechanism to charge the batteries.

    Few simple Q's about Dahua install junction box

    To be clear, you also have a hole at the top side as well (same orientation as my photo where there is a hole at the top and hole on the "left" side when looking at it directly like your photo.

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    I just used a kill-a-watt and these cameras only use 6 watts. It seems I incorrectly thought that I could simply use something like a 12 volt rechargable battery that is 12 Ah and run a camera for over 24 hours without having to charge it.

    Also should I chalk/silicone anywhere such as on the top once installed on the wall to prevent water from getting into the junction box?

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    Yikes that is $1400. That would be a great long term solution but I'm looking for a solution that is basically trashed after 3 or 4 months. Certainly there is some type of battery system with rechargeable batteries that I can swap out every few days?

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    I am going to be installing some Dahua turret and bullet cameras on a home that is nearly complete. For the time being I would like to install the cameras and have them record on each device's SD card for the remainder of construction until permanent power is issued and full network gear...
