    Mounting height

    I see, thanks. Will check it out. Adding floor plans seems like a paid feature though.

    Mounting height

    Are there any free tools like this? It is a bit expensive for a one-time use.

    Entry camera placement guidence

    Greetings all, I'm about to pull the trigger on my first surveillance camera, and would love any comments on the placement vs. camera capabilities. The area to be covered is the front door, which is at the top of a flight of stairs. Here's a picture from the landing below the entrance: Entry...

    Maximum SD Card Size?

    The answer according to the spec page is: "Micro SD card memory, IP67, PoE". In the details of the PDF it says: "Mirco SD card 128G", no mention if this is a maximum, or the card included in the camera. Even if they intend it to be read as 'maximum', in my experience many companies do not update...

    Wow. You need a full-scale rack at home!

    Anyone using SPF -> RJ45 adapters?

    That's the long-term goal. I'm learning to program again, and figured a real-world example is the best way to do so. Not terribly difficult if you use the right programming library.

    Anyone using SPF -> RJ45 adapters?

    Those look good. I need 8 PoE , so that means moving up to a 12 or 16 port if I cannot use the uplink to connect to the other switch/router. That's the main reason for going down that route. FWIW, these HP 2520 8G's, going for around USD 120 look like just the thing, and from reading here and...

    Maximum SD Card Size?

    Anyone know if the later model cameras, specifically the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, can use the 256GB cards? I'd ask @EMPIRETECANDY directly, but figured it would be better here for others to know.

    Focus Distance & other questions

    I've been reading for a few weeks now, and am leaning toward the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z as my first camera to get a feel for how it all works and determine focal lengths for the other cameras. There are a few things I'm not certain about and hope to get a bit of feedback on before I pull the...

    Anyone using SPF -> RJ45 adapters?

    A few of the 8 port managed switches that interest me, those supporting SNMP, all come with SFP uplink ports. I have seen some adapters, and wonder if anyone here has used them successfully? Alternatively, if anyone knows of a 8-port, SNMP capable PoE switch with 1GB RJ45 uplink, I'd love to...
