    Cat5e or Cat6 for IP Camera

    Thanks - your right. The flat is only 32 AWG vs the 23 AWG on the spool. Nice catch.

    Love the IPC-HDW5231R-Z - now what?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will probably pick up two more IPC-HDW5231R-Z and two IPC-HDW4231EM-AS with 2.6mm lenses for sides of the house if Andy has them. Then the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 and a chinese camera to test. I have two side BI questions. Do I need to adjust camera resolutions to...

    Love the IPC-HDW5231R-Z - now what?

    So I am not sure what move to make next after purchasing the IPC-HDW5231R-Z from @EMPIRETECANDY . Quick question, on the AliExpress description for this camera, it doesn't actually say "Starlight" anywhere, so is this a Starlight camera? Love the camera, just not the price. I need about six...

    Which of these two NETGEAR switches? Or switch recommendations?

    That is a nice find but the NETGEAR switches are either managed or "smart" switches. I think the BV-Tech is un-managed. For non-PoE, I think most people are just using this at the beginning of the cable, near the switch: Amazon.com: TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PoE Injector Adapter - 802.3af...

    Which of these two NETGEAR switches? Or switch recommendations?

    I am looking for a 16 port switch to run 14x Dahua 2-3MP cameras @ 20fps. My Blue Iris PC will also be connected to the switch. I found these two so far: NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE NETGEAR ProSAFE GS516TP The only real difference I see for the price are the 2 PD ports on the GS516TP which I am...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    So the Asus router has a free VPN setup but people are using OpenVPN on their Asus routers. Why - because it is better? And I believe OpenVPN costs money, correct?

    I have 8x 1080p cameras that record at most of the time. Will a 2600k be able to support this?

    Connecting IP cams to switch to PC - Can I do this?

    Thanks - Do I need an unmanged or managed port. And will 10/100Mbps be enough for 8 x 1080p cameras? Since I am not using a router on my camera network, do I just set the IP addresses manually using my router and connect to them via the switch. Since I can't configure IP addresses on the switch.

    Connecting IP cams to switch to PC - Can I do this?

    So I want to get my IP cameras off my wireless network. My motherboard has two LAN connections. Can I connect a switch to one of the LAN ports with IP cameras? Then I can use Blue Iris to control those cameras and use the other port for internet so I can see remotely?

    Need super wide angle and hidden cameras suggestions

    I am looking for a camera for my front door and need a really wide angle vision camera to capture my driveway too. The camera doesnt need to move, as I am hoping to just see everything in one angle. I am also looking for a hidden camera or one with a very low profile. Both cameras also need to...
