I'm sure it's been suggested before (and I don't have Win 11 so cannot test), but does firefox or chrome with an IE tab (extension / addon) work?

Absolutely! Most consumer grade switching equipment (routers, etc) will have the same pitfalls on ethernet as they will on WiFi (everything can hear everything else, there's interference). That's why I intend on putting them on their own router on a separate band, and only have 2 of them. If...

Are you able to talk me through this process at all? I can't imagine how I could go about drilling a hole outside, and feeding a line and somehow navigating the 4 separate walls it would need to to make it to the destination (several bends), or up, bend to go along the roof, down, to the...

Ohh see, I have a 2nd storey, and a steel framed home that would require me to take the ceiling and walls apart to run cable through it (unless you have a tool that can navigate insulation batts and find and go through pre-made holes in steel frames and studs). Also, if I do electrical work or...

I'll be sure to keep you updated, and will keep an eye on the network. Worst case, I separate the networks and have a DMZ between them so only specific devices can access the cameras. The streams may be set up to broadcast, rather than stream on request. This can use a lot of network bandwidth...

What kind of issues did you have? I would assume that cheap ones don't know the difference between a moth and a person, and cannot be relied on to actually capture anything / not capture junk. That goes for non PTZ though. Specifically for PTZ, as long as it moves when told to, even if it takes...

Also thank you for the welcome :D I don't mean to be rude either, I am happy to learn and hear the experience of others. If I had my mind made up, I wouldn't be here :p

Ahh. It will be very difficult without $1000s of renovations and repainting (would need to knock down exterior and interior walls). I was 100% going to get solar or battery wifi cameras for the others. Honestly, we are surrounded by other houses, they would need to be already in someone else's...

Hello wonderful people of ipcamtalk! "Squigz, I saw the size of your post, and I need a short version" Absolutely: In West Aus, have 15m frontage, ~20m side, only 1 Ethernet port to front corner for POE, no power elsewhere so wireless and battery. Well lit enough. Dodgy ppl around, want to...
