    IR Illuminator Location

    Thanks for the reply Kawboy12R, I should have been more clear, in the upper eaves, I've already got socket-outlets prewired and installed for potential connection of IR illuminators although I wasn't sure if I was going to need them but figured it wasn't going to hurt to have them up there...

    IR Illuminator Location

    Hello all Just after some advise on where the optimum location would be for some external IR illuminators. See the attached snapshot of one of my cameras. It's from the right most camera on the next pic. Basically I've purchased some external IR tri-illuminators from AE which look exactly...

    POE switch 802.3af

    You can install them vertically. That's why some have key holes on the bottom so you can wall mount.

    Running cable through the yard?

    Ah fair enough, I'm south of the border in Melbourne. Everything does seem to cost more up there.

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I had similar issue where I wanted to mount it on my fascia under the gutter but found when it pans right around it hits the gutter. My solution was to mount a junction box and attach the camera to the lid of the box.

    Running cable through the yard?

    Hi SyconciousAu Don't you have Dingo operators around where you are? I have a local Dingo operator who I've used for various things over the years and he comes out and trenches with either a 150mm or 350mm trencher depending on what I need done, lets you lay your services then back fills the...

    Anyway to limit the travel (pan) on boot up?

    I went to install mine finally on the weekend and where I want to mount it on the fascia under the gutter it would have hit the gutter on bootup or panning right around to one side or the other. So I also decided to mount mine on on a junction box to give it more clearance but as I opted for...

    is this cheap no-brand poe switch interesting?

    I have this switch from when I first put up 2 cameras and it worked a treat and never skipped a beat. Only drawback was the noise. I had it on top of my wardrobe in my bedroom and with the doors open I could hear it. Doors closed and it muffled the noise quite a bit but you could still make...

    Mini PTZ: Reported Issues/Limitations

    A suggestion to those with power issues, maybe either utilise POE+ equipment if not powering from a brick. I've not mounted mine yet and I've had it for nearly 3 months as between work, moving back into the house, 2 kids under 4 and finding time to sleep; I've not had the time. I did test...

    My ISP's marketing department has hit a new low

    And I bet if you were oblivious and weren't aware they would of happily kept billing you $135 a month. My cable provider was doing that to me until I caught on and now regularly check their prices to ensure I am on the best deal for the money.

    What is the name of this item?

    Failing being able to get one, maybe just wrap the connection with silicone duct tape or any other type of self fusing tape.

    Generally those on AE are for Dahua cams. Obviously no reason why you couldn't drill your own holes etc and adapt it but some might not want to do that. Good idea HRD, I might fold some out of gal sheet as I've got access to some folders. I've also got a mate with a CNC sheet metal turret...

    What is the name of this item?

    It looks like the weatherproofing gland for the RJ45 plug and socket.

    RJ45 connectors lesson

    I disagree and would rather pay more for a higher quality crimper knowing it'll go the distance. In your case it's quality investment that'll last a lifetime. I still have my original RJ45 crimpers and they still crimp as good as the day I got them 9 years ago. I use them when I'm only...

    Good to know of this additional feature. I'd seen it utilized previously with Panasonic and Samsung brand cameras and thought it might have been something the big names had an a feature only.

    Thanks for posting the sample clip, you think it was worth it for the price? It's got no inbuilt IR has it?

    +1 for the EZ RJ45 crimper it makes it so much easier to fit off compliant CAT6 plugs.

    Why do businesses use such crappy security cameras?

    The rate of pay in Australia is not much better. Unless you're out contracting for yourself you haven't a hope of earning a decent wage and even contracting isn't that flash where everyone is undercutting everyone else to try and get the sales. A friend of mine was telling me how his youngest...

    Fold and be weak like the rest of us who have already folded. To be sure, I'd get in touch with Monica first as I initially made the mistake of buying from the link in the first post and then finding out it wasn't the POE version. Luckily Monica was kind enough to cancel the order and let me...

    Installation tips?

    You don't specifically have to use coax-seal, you could use any brand of silicone duct tape which is essentially what coax-seal is. In Australia I just buy plain old run of the mill silicone duct tape from my local hardware store for just under $10 a 3m roll. I generally keep a couple of rolls...

    POE switch help

    I'm not too sure myself as I've only had cameras for 18 months or so and only had 3 to start off with. I've now got 11 and a spare. I do have the TP Link switch though and find it works great although a bit noisy. Initially I was planning on getting another TP Link switch and balance the cams...
