    Mounting in Engineered Wood Soffit?

    Has anyone ever mounted a bullet cam to an engineered wood soffit like LP SmartSide? This is the material used for both trim and soffits at my home. I have a bullet camera with a Dahua aluminum junction box ready to go, but I can't decide if I should try to mount it to the soffit or mount it...

    Exterior POE | Surge Protection & Cabling Question

    Will Alarm.com Cameras Work in Blue Iris?

    I have several cameras from Alarm.com (ADC-V521IR, ADC-V522IR) and a doorbell camera (SkyBell ADC-VDB105) sold through my security system provider, Frontpoint, which is a Skybell product.

    Double-Check a Purchase?

    I've been reading up for a while now and feel like I've memorized the IPcamTalk hardware guide. That said, I'm still not all that confident in selecting a used system on eBay. As for my system, I'm looking to start small with roughly four 4MP cameras. Over the next 18 months, I'm looking to...
