    Show us your Fur Buddy!

    Front porch camera/conduit/junction box installation questions

    Can you not punch a small 1/4" hole directly into garage at blue mark? I do this quite often on installations. You could always run some wire molding inside the garage up to ceiling to hide wire. Even this cam in the picture is almost a foot too high.

    RJ45 connectors - are they all the same?

    Definitely not the same! (at least for NON-pass thru). So I just recently upgraded from some cheap o crimps and rj45 plugs from Amazon I've been using for years. My last job I was having to re-crimp a bunch of my cat5e runs and wasting time. So in a pinch, I went to a nearby Home Depot and...

    Junction Box

    I have but not for EmpireTech or Dahua cams. You would need the check the spec sheet of camera for bolt hole positions and diameter. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/swann-4k-bullet-install-w-amazon-junction-box.62827/

    Cam install pics

    no, first cam is a 5442-ze You can do without the box, no problem. I do on lower budget jobs. I personally don't like drilling big gaping 7/8" holes into brand-new steel, plus the box brings the camera out and away from the wall that much more. It's also more difficult to plug a 7/8 - 1-inch...

    Security system design help

    7, 8&9 are just alternative position options. I personally would consider and test cams 1- 6 locations. This is a plan I quickly slapped together to help give you an idea where you could place cameras.
