    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    Thanks guys, I'm liking that panel more and more. I knew I shoulda invest in the punch down tool back then. Coulda save me a lot of anguish and many F-words. I checked Amazon and a nice one could be had for around $20 that has a couple of adjustment wheels.

    Looking to get GW Security system from Newegg

    Thanks for your input @zero-degrees. I am replacing my 16-cam analog that has 8 domes and 8 bullets so this 16-cam GW system was a perfect fit. However, after reading some advise against these pre-boxed system I'm thinking I should take heed. After some of consideration and re-planning my...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    Thanks @pal251 and @biggie for the video. My experience with Keystone was a while back when I had to terminate some ethernet cables in the wall. It was tedious but maybe because I didn't have a punchdown tool. I remember my fingers were numb after awhile. The Platinum snap jack looks very...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    That's a very good alternative and a professional way of connections at the central point. I like that. I'll definitely consider that option. I like the fact that it'll make a more solid connection than crimping reducing any iffy contacts. Thanks @nayr.

    Camera Recommendations With Edge Recording

    Thanks @chbeck2010 for clearing that a bit. Sorry if I kinda hickjack your thread but if you can answer my questions I'd really appreciate it. So if I have an NVR recording my cameras, can I control the cameras with my phone if I'm not at home such as stop/pause, record, search, etc or is it...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    I don't think the keystone jacks would be feasible for me as I would have to do that to 32 ends(16x2). And they would be too bulky to go through the holes in the wall. And as far as I know, they only make them in female so I would need a bunch of patch cables to connect to the cameras...not to...

    Looking to get GW Security system from Newegg

    Is it because they are not reliable, lack of features, customer support, etc? All their cameras are 4MP with varifocus lens and the NVR has POE with 8TB for less than $3K. Sorry if it seems like I'm rejecting your opinion. I'm trying to pick your brain, or any knowledgeable person on this forum...

    Camera Recommendations With Edge Recording

    @fenderman, when you say record to server hard drive, do you mean an NVR? How do you record to sd card as backup? I am trying to figure out how these IP work. I've been trying to read as much as I can on this board but all the reading seemed to confuse my more. Some say you can't do certain...

    Looking to get GW Security system from Newegg

    Can you elaborate on that? I am new to IP so what options are you referring? I googled complete system with 16 cameras and most I got was on Amazon and some online security sites. I found this GW system on Amazon so I googled them but nothing in terms of bad rap. The cheapest I found was on...

    Looking to get GW Security system from Newegg

    Anyone have any experience with GW security? I couldn't do any search on this forum and the reviews on Amazon is spotty. The system I'm looking at is a 16 cam varifocal 3MP, H.265 NVR with 5TB included for $2599. I could not find any bandwidth info on the NVR either. Any comments or...

    One 16-cam or Two 8-cam NVR Setup?

    I'm just starting to get interested in IP because I had an incident where my neighbor's house was broken in and my analog is useless at night. The only thing that I can make out in the video was the intruder is a human. Even though daytime video is very clear, night time was very grainy and...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    I have preexisting Cat5 in my house that I need to terminate with RJ45 plugs. Do you use T568A or T568B standard for IP cameras or does it matter? Thanks, Derek

    New guy hoping to hop on the IP Train.

    Hi from Bay Area CA., I am looking to upgrade to IP system from HD analog. At first, I wanted analog for simplicity but after an intruder break into my neighbor's house, my analog is crap for capturing anything useful for the police can use. Now I am looking for IP systems so hopefully this...
