    Battery powered doorbells?

    Can anyone suggest a battery powered doorbell? I know that is not ideal and can't use BI really. Looking to get two of them. Most all my IP cams are dahua with a few older hiks left.

    Is there any point to using AI with BI?

    IP cameras are a hobby for me, how would the AI do at night? I don't record at night since we get a lot of bugs etc so at night i get a ton of false alerts.

    Is there any point to using AI with BI?

    Trying to decide if it's worth trying, i really don't get any false notifications. I live on a farm so there is nothing really going on. I get groundhogs, cows, birds, squirrels, deer, bears and a few delivery drivers. :) What is the advantage of using it?

    DH-PFA121 water proof?

    In the specs of the junction box it says Pipe Thread G3/4” whatever size that really is. :) The issue is even when you have the right one the hole is still to large as only one CAT5E cable is using it ......you need a size reducer. I also make my own cables so i would pull it through before...

    What ceiling mount junction boxes are compatible with the IPC-Color4K-T180? I guess this is the same camera. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-578-Series/5-Series/Full-color/IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE It list the PFA137.

    Yes i have that one but the hik mounts differently (the housing), i actually have both looking to buy more. I have the DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL hik branded one and the IPC-Color4K-T180 from empiretec It seems the hik versions are way cheaper than the 4k-T180, i have both and can't tell the...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL unbranded version?

    Is there a unbranded version of this camera that is a little cheaper and if so are you able to update the firmware in English? Trying to decide on the hik or the IPC-Color4K-T180, it seems the hik has a better mount.

    How to install when there is no attic?

    I did think about the foundation vents, i tried to remove one and they have cement around them so i would need to drill a hole through one. They are just plastic but would no longer be able to open and close if i did that? Hiding the cables is the easy part! for me the hard part is mounting the...

    Yes he does lol He is more worried about no drilling into the roof itself since he just got a new roof put on this year. A metal one at that. It makes me wonder if i can jerry rig up some kind of mount that would fit in between the metal roof panels that would wedge itself in there for the...

    How to install when there is no attic?

    crawl spaces are not fun at any age doing my best to avoid it but i can't completely. I was thinking about drilling through his foundation wall with a masonry bit and use PVC pipe in the hole and run the cables in and then just go up the floor where his router is. My concern is when drilling...

    How to install when there is no attic?

    There is crawl space access but it has a door so you can't really run wires through it or it would not close. Did you run the cables on the outside or inside the crawl space? I really don't want to go into that space lol Don't happen to have any pics of your install on the single wide? :)
