    Need camera mounted 100 feet from building.

    100ft is not that much to trench and well in range of PoE. I have quite a few kameras at 55m (180ft) away. Including getting into the building my longest cable run is probably more like 65m (213 ft). I run cat6 gel filled ground cable. No problems at all with PoE (except lightning and the fact...

    Need some help understanding how to make setup work with fiber.

    One point I'd like to make in addition is that if you think you may ever put more "stuff" in the location use a fiber cable with more strands. I'm not sure if you're planning to terminate yourself or pay someone to do it, but if you're running normal cable with no plugs it costs very little to...

    Building a pole mount

    Very nice, my pole mounted cameras are screwed directly to 60x60 (mm) square pole. Square was similar price to round and I got it in 6m sections. In inches it'll be 2.5 x 2.5 I think. Edit: I'll probably have to figure something like this out as I'm planning to add more cameras to each pole (I...

    Fiber instead of PoE, what about power?

    I don't know much about such sites, but that cable looks like a thicker version of this: https://senstar.com/products/fence-sensors/flexzone/

    Fiber instead of PoE, what about power?

    Well,well.. Turns out that cable duct that I had so much trouble with is collapsed or squeezed between something. I thought it is the bends that were causing the problem or the cables are getting entangled. Nope. Digging down to the straight section pushing and pulling through it required lots...

    Fiber instead of PoE, what about power?

    Surge protector is only as good as the ground it is connected to. To properly surge protect PoE one needs to route them where the single point ground is connected - usually the main electric utility cabinet. Unfortunately I can't do that. I may have mentioned it in this thread. If someone can...

    EU follies

    This is no doubt caused by the war on our border, with millions of refugees and constant stream of associated news. Started by a country that has been promising us the same treatment for last 35 years. People naturally are more supportive of the government in such situation. There are the usual...

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    Everyone focuses on the WiFi because the OP said "the camera eventually looses connectivity to AP". It is true for some reason Ip cameras and WiFi simply do not get along. I've had two WiFi cameras 10m from the access point for 7 years (under a short eave, for all intents and purposes we may...

    IP Cameras for Non Internet Networks??

    Many people consider the best solution putting all cameras on a separate VLAN with no Internet access, but the problem is that you also do not have direct access to them. You have to use a router (or go through the local server) and the cheapest way are routers built into a managed Ethernet...

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    I misremembered your previous post. You were talking about WizColor 5449-PRO, that it will be a mixture of features from WizMind-S 5442-S3 and TIOC-PRO 3449-PRO. I somehow remembered it as a new version of WizMind-S 5442. So, my mistake. You as well as the picture mention smart dual light...

    Do we have IR illuminated/very dark images of movement comparison between Sony IMX415 and the 4M 1/1.8 sensor used in WizMind-S 5442-S3?

    I'm not going to be surprised if I post the first ones once my cameras arrive ;) Oh no, I'm not running at 30fps. But by the camera being 30fps capable at 4K means it has a modern CPU. This often means it is not an older model, therefore the software is often a bit better(if all other specs are...

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    Thank you , I was actually considering the refurbished 5442 turrets. This info saves me from making a mistake. I'll be going for bullets. I've asked for one of the IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 and the updated Q2.2025 version of IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 (as they are called in EmpireTech store). I hope they are...

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    I tend to look at dori distances calculated from sensor size and FOV. The 32mm has IDENTIFY at 39.5m (at 250px/m). It may end up closer than that (25m and 31m) so the motorised zoom is very good. I did read the threads that say you should 4x that for the night. If we want to have that 32mm would...

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    Do you mean the FOV is smaller? Yes, that's what I need. I need to put these cameras pretty far and be able to zoom in. I wouldn't even mind manual focus, but no one makes these anymore. These should be able to reach up to 40m to IDENTIFY from what I read. Yes. That is understandable. What I'm...

    Do we have IR illuminated/very dark images of movement comparison between Sony IMX415 and the 4M 1/1.8 sensor used in WizMind-S 5442-S3?

    As in the subject, I've been searching and browsing and I'm having hard time locating any comparison of images in Black & White mode with IR illumination and movement (or even without movement) of any mid range consumer camera that can do 30fps @ 4K and h265 (so we exclude ancient ones) with...
