    Can you use a poe hub with swann camera system?

    It’s a nvr. I wonder how one would do in a attic and can you replace the HDD with a SSD I’m not sure where the software to run the system is stored might be a issue if you changed the storage.

    CAT5e or 6 for outdoor run?

    LOL yes this would be underground ran and crawl space ran to single IP cams well under the 300 ft max. All my other runs where CAT5e i worry about mixing the cable since they look identical and direct burial cable is usually black. If the outer jacket does not say how would you tell them apart...

    CAT5e or 6 for outdoor run?

    I'm out of CAT5e outdoor cable is there any use to buy CAT6 instead? It cost a little bit more but will it ever matter for IP Cams over a distance since CAT6 can't do it's higher speeds at a distance.

    Any good rj45 couplers?

    I don’t like to have splits in my cables but I have a few that are underground that need to be extended in the crawl space. they don’t need to be waterproof but it would be nice if they where for protection as they are under a house and should not get wet. there are a ton of them on Amazon.

    crawl space Getting wire into house?

    Definitely will be in the wall cavity. I’ll just do it one day when she’s not around. would it be best to install a patch box into the wall or just use a switch? As I will not be unplugging it over and over. I plan to put shelves up so a patch panel would end up covered up vs a switch sitting...

    What router are you guys using?

    Seems like a lot of unifi, i recently tried them out and they are nice but it seemed to be missing a few simple things like live traffic, OpenVPN, the stats page for bandwidth does not show time/date it was used and i didn't like how you had to setup each AP individually in a tab for that AP. I...

    What router are you guys using?

    How is the VPN on Ubiquiti as they don't support OpenVPN? I use it to view ip cams without port fwd. I've been looking at the UDM Pro since it can handle GIG internet but seems overkill for me.

    Dahua PFA137 or PFA130-E

    Yes it is a pain! lol I'm gonna try some gasket lock and see if that will help, i may end up trying the PFA130-E there is more room in that box i think? It's really hard to get all the cables in the box once upside down and keep the gasket in place.
