    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    In my experience, having done my whole house, avoid using keystones with the face plates. Use something like this coupler below, instead. The keystones are too wide and don't fit side-by-side on the 2x3 face plates. You also would not need a punch down tool if you used these, just the same tools...

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    In trying to find the actual quote from the movie, I came across a lot of posts on forums and Reddit where this was being discussed. So, more than you would think.

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    He is supposed to be an expert in these things and, when being interrogated, goes into much detail about what happened, like he is a crime scene savant, but got something like that wrong, is what bothered me and turned me off. It would be like Sheldon spouting off a bunch of information, just...

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    I said the same thing about the Office to my wife. She just needed to get through Season 1 but, other than just not liking the vibe of Reacher, they lost me with these lines in episode 1. "Shooter was someone who knows firearms well. Bullets were small caliber... 9mm, 95-grain. That's subsonic...

    Surely, exporting video events cannot be as hard as I think it is...

    It's not hard at all, but, as far as I know, you are only able to export one camera at a time. You use the crop markers along the time slider to select the beginning and end of the clip you want to export. Click the export button in the top left. Set output format. Set export destination. Click...

    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    I have used a lot of the IDEAL connectors from Lowes, but got connectors from TrueCable when I made my last order. Both work well. Also, a continuity tester is a must when making your own cables, especially when using a patch panel. It's saved my butt so many times. Terminating CAT cable is...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    That is a job for two cameras. I would keep that one as is, and put a second one next to it looking down the drive. T54IR-ZE will get you to 12mm. Captures are install height of 7ft and distances of 18ft, 25ft, 40ft, and 75ft to the license plate. Distance clarity will be hindered at night...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    This is when "getting good details does not allow you to see everything" comes into play. I deployed a B52IR-Z12E-S2 on the fence to zoom in and give focus on the people on the path. It is a camera with a specific job and specific FOV. What does it see 99% of the day? Trees. Nothing but trees...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    I have a Color4K-T180 mounted at the peak of my two story roof for sky/weather purposes. It has a 3.6mm focal length. There is a person in this capture. Can you give any details about them?

    A wonderful clean installation

    That actually wasn't all that bad and could have been way worse.

    I need more hobbies.. Working on a PVC post discrete camera housing... (a better birdhouse)

    Post and sleeve are in, conduit finished up, and camera in the birdhouse and mounted. All I have left to do now is run the Ethernet (and finish up with the bed, it turns out the quarry where I got the stone for the other beds was destroyed in the hurricane :( ) I may consider reprinting the...

    My first post and my tremendous confusion ... but I will get there.

    Not to mention Dahua also makes most of the cameras available that have been rebranded under other names. https://securitycamcenter.com/dahua-oem-list/ Which companies sell Dahua OEM products In this article, we’ve listed all the known companies that sell Dahua OEM products, usually under their...

    New Build for Blue Iris System

    You need to choose different cameras, those will give beyond sub-par performance. You're welcome to try them, but most of us would wager money that we will see a complaint post from you later on about their video quality at night, and you will end up buying new ones. You will also want to used...

    I need more hobbies.. Working on a PVC post discrete camera housing... (a better birdhouse)

    I think I finally have a “finished” product. I just need to glue in the black inserts around the outside and it should be good to go. I’ve ran the conduit, all that’s left outside is to set the post, cut the PVC sleeve, and run the Ethernet.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    I give a show every morning, just in case they do come in and find me.

    Mounting Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 sideways against fence?

    My initial thought would be a 3D printed junction box that would sandwich the fence spindle between it and the camera and also give you somewhere to keep the connection out of the elements. The next option would be to bridge two of the fence spindles with a piece of wood, and just attach a...

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    And other times they all show up. The couple across the street are going through a divorce; it's been fun... These 5, plus another out of view, plus another 1 or 2 hanging out on the street back behind my house.

    A capture from after I got home a little bit ago. Basically what I am looking for, but will change a little once I get the final install done.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    After watching Paranormal Activity I told myself I would never have cameras inside the house. But, then I had my alarm go off and I didn't know if it was a false alarm or an actual intrusion. I knew I was having issues with some of the sensors, but when I checked the cameras the door that had...

    After rotating it back to horizontal and trying that FOV, I think it needs to be as pictured above.

    How much the FOV is filled at different distances. Another angle of the last shot, for reference.

    I need more hobbies.. Working on a PVC post discrete camera housing... (a better birdhouse)

    While not the final version of the housing, I am working on testing it out since the weather is more favorable. It's approx 18' from the camera to the driveway. T54IR-ZE-S3 at 12mm. Thoughts on this orientation? I know it's a lot of sky, but it's going to be a lot of sky regardless of which...

    Parking lot light pole camera install

    For future reference, Romex is generally not acceptable to be ran inside of conduit and you want to run individual conductors. Do you have a link to the enclosure?
