Just Sharing My Progress
Here are my first shots at night on either side of the driveway. The light is pretty much on all the time. I've already determined that I need at least one more... maybe two... on the driveway, alone. I'm just getting started on the picture and lighting settings. Does anyone have any... -

I got everything rearranged and can now configure my cameras, so thank you! Here's the new network diagram. The error seems so obvious, now. -

I apologize if my terminology is a bit off. The plenum I mentioned is simply a soffit that houses the ductwork. It's equivalent to running the cable within a wall cavity, and I believe that I can install a 120V receptacle in there because of the access panel. I need to research that a bit... -

Hi, all. I just wanted to share my progress with the community and possibly get some feedback. I've studied the Wiki and Cliff Notes and tried to follow them as closely as possible. I'm a mechanic by nature, so the networking and software configuration aspects are definitely the hardest... -

Hi, all.
I’ve been wanting to set up a security camera system for the last 10 years or so and it looks like now is as good a time as any to take the first step. I was about 2 clicks away from making an ill informed purchase on Amazon when I decided to take a step back and try to learn the basics. I’ve...- smithb
