    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I hate buying from amazon anyway -- I'll probably pass on that fiber Do you see the right transceivers on the Ubiquiti website? I'd buy it all from there if I could find it. Guess I could send an email and see if they reply.

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    @hydrau1 -- Something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread -- Snow. The 4K-t is gonna need a lot of playing with the exposure with your changing scenes. I do not believe there is an iris in this cam. I find mine over or under exposed a lot with changing lighting during the day. Clouds...

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I guess I’ve been looking up the wrong stuff - could have sworn I have seen custom length cables for under $40.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I don’t even need to dig a trench, can pull it with vibratory plow. Thing is the cost of the pvc conduit will be greater than the cost of fiber - I think. And fiber would probably be better.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I searched briefly last night for the loose cable - didn’t come up with anything either, that’s why I asked. Maybe I will go fiber, my switch has the right port, would just need the transceivers. I’m sure I can find some reasonably priced outdoor cable. I’ll get an exact measurement today.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I'm certainly not against running fiber optic. Where is a good place to buy a loose tube cable? I'm not sure of the exact measurement but gonna be close to 200 feet.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    Yes the 4” conduit has cable for 100 amps of power in it. I did this 20 years ago. There is aluminum wire in the conduit and it is not the proper wire for conduit. Use what you have. I had a partial spool of wire, leftover on a job site. Anyway, this isn’t about what wire is in the conduit. I...

    I think this is where I’m headed. It is what I had originally planned.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    Cost is a concern but not really the deciding factor. The best, most reliable stream from the cameras is what I’m after. Are there issues with interference with running the cat 6 in the same conduit as the power? Mostly only thing running regularly is a big led light on the shed.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    So I’ve read myself into another decision that I didn’t know I had to make. Shed mounted cameras. I’m thinking at least 3 cameras, one is definitely a PTZ5A4M 25x. Maybe a pair of t54ir ze s3 also. Three 4mp cams. I figure a POE+ switch in the shed so only 1 wire going from house to shed...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    I’m just a beginner like you, I don’t have any turrets mounted in exposed to the weather places at the moment. what I have up is under soffit so not much concern with rain through the sd card cover. I haven’t given the bug thing much thought but I will use some sort of cut up pipe insulation...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    It's a plastic plug with an oring seal for the conduit hole. You could mount it up if you wanted, UV may get to the plastic. Could always change the plug to a metal 1. Not sure if the oring would work. You should be able to mount almost any Dahua/empire camera on a 121 or 122 cover. Definately...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    You could certainly use a pfa box- either a pfa121 for a bullet or a pfa122 for a turret. The good part about using a pfa box is the lid, or cover is interchangeable between the 2. Mount the box to the plywood and stucco around it however you planned. Mount whatever camera you want by just...

    Who in the Northeast felt that Earth Shake?

    I’m about 12 miles from what they say was the epicenter. It was definitely eye opening. At 1st I thought it was a tree falling on the house. Shit fell off shelves. I have a test camera running in my garage. A lot of shaking going on in there. It was a low rumble, then some real shaking but...

    Camera Water Issue

    I see the problem, I ordered clear - that ships from amazon not innovations k. The amazon monkeys grab a tube of caulk from the box and wonder why they have so many extra nozzles when the box is empty. Seems I have a bioseal dealer 20 minutes from home according to the website. Looking up the...

    Camera Water Issue

    And when you order this, do you actually get the nozzle? I sent 2 tubes back as incomplete. 2 separate orders. I don’t have a nozzle and of course they didn’t send any. I just gave up.

    What display do you use ?

    So it sounds like, with a 3 port switch on either end, data and extended hdmi is possible over the 1 cable. Will a switch work backwards though? 3 port switch, 1 input port, 2 output ports. Will it work on the transmission end backwards, 2 input ports turned to 1 output port sent to another...

    What display do you use ?

    Humor me for a minute... the above hdmi extender, cat 6 cable used as an hdmi cable. The cat cable, it basically becomes a long hdmi cable. Can the same cable be used for data as well? I have cat cable going to all tv locations in the house, smart tv in a few, dvd, game console. If I use...
