Just kidding.:p It's what I always do with my empty camera boxes with serial numbers. I've recently noticed that the packaging inside the boxes is much more environmentally friendly. I used to have to sort the plastics/foam out.
there is 2 x 4” conduits going under a-paved entrance way for about 25ft. So lots of room.
got this on both sides of laneway.
I was thinking about use these sprinkler valve boxes too hide the tops of conduit and my seal tight connections. Will have to trim the conduits off a few inches below...
It will be buried 6 inches in dirt and some goes under laneway through conduit. My options are:
cat5e

or...
Hello all! I hope everyone is having a good day. I have a question with regard to wither $100 difference between cat5e and Cat6 wire is going to get me any extra performance or not? It will be a 350 ft run for an IP camera (DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL). I don't believe it will, but please correct me...
Start with 1 is the general rule around here. See how you like it. They are great if you already have a lit up area. No need to have the camera LED on, as it attracts bugs.
I have a couple refurb EmpireTech 8MP 4K Full-Color Ultra Low Light 8MP Smart AI Starlight Turret IP Cameras sitting here from Andy if your interested. He sends them to me occasionally from amazon.ca returns...
I currently building a small off grid camera setup my self. Using a EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T . It’s using around 7 Watts day time, waiting to see what it uses with the Warm LED’s on tonight. ( spec sheet says 10.5 Watts. I am only using an internal SD card for recording IVS events only.
Bad thunderstorm here an hour ago. I’m prepped. Starlink and crockpot is all I need
I do need a bigger generator some day. This one was free from my mother.
I don’t advise removing soffit. Opening a can of worms, unless you have installed soffit before. Better off tucking the wire in the J channel or fascia trim.
The fiberglass rods are a must-have, also a metal fish tape. Makes attic work much easier. If the basement ceiling is accessible, then you can send the wire directly down from the attic inside an interior wall? I do it all the time. (great job for those new glow rods)
I always try sneak the wires inside the garage without seeing them. Once wires are in the garage you can neatly surface mount the wires down into the basement. (Hint : try looking for something else going in basement like a water tap or central vac.
