    Setup Help Needed to Access Camera IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED

    Thanks - to be honest i thought this would be a good camera to cover the front / carport area but I think it maybe best suited elsewhere. For example above the garage or around the outside garage area maybe a good fit. I think the door bell would be sufficient to capture the front area. I do...
