    Camera placement for new house

    In hindsight, I probably wouldn't have ran everything on home runs, but being able to patch whatever, wherever is nice. So maybe consider running power and 2 ethernet to certain areas for a POE switch, and then you can branch other runs out from there. If the WAF allows it, I would go with a...

    Camera placement for new house

    There's no kill like overkill, but you will want to check some of those positions with a camera before committing, just to make sure they are good.

Covered Patio - Add an additional camera under the cover, pointed at the door. Garage - The crossing FOVs is nice. I...

    Which resolution should I use for Dahua 4MP camera?

    2688x1520 is full 4MP resolution at near 16:9 aspect ratio. I found this thread when doing a quick search. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/can-somebody-explain-the-resolution-modes-to-me.5961/

    Website for camera placement

    It is around, but now requires a ridiculous subscription cost. There are others, but I can't remember what they are right now.

    I need help with the IPC-Color4K-T180

    No, where it is installed. Keep everything the same, but swap the camera, to rule out everything in between. And then the same with the trouble 180 where the other camera was.
