I'm looking for a camera similar to the Amcrest ProHD 1080P POE, which appears to be discontinued / out of stock everywhere. This will be acting as a baby cam in a 10x10 room, so great low light is a must. On the ProHD that I have now, we set the IR to be off and it works well enough because...

My Nest Doorbell Cam somehow managed to get water trapped under the top layer of plastic and looks like trash after 2.5 years. I'm looking to replace it, but I'm not super pleased with the picture quality compared to my other cameras. For the WAF, I need a few features: Mobile app with...

By the great advice of this forum, I purchased 4 x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras about 2.5 years ago and mounted them perfectly to cover the areas I need covered. (All mounts are less than 7 feet from the ground). Now I am looking to upgrade a few of the cameras. Specifically, I'd like to be able to...

We're having a playground put in (slides/towers/etc.) about 100 feet away from the house in our backyard. I'd like to put a camera on the house that can capture it well enough at 100 feet away in daylight. I'd prefer a PoE camera for easy integration with the rest of my cameras. Thanks in...

I'm looking to create a 4 camera setup and I was wondering if any PoE switch with 4 ports + up link would be sufficient? I'm looking at the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras and it seems that they each max at a rate of 1 mbps for H.264 encoding.

I'm buying a home for the first time and haven't had a chance to learn the basics of home maintenance, and would rather not start with mounting cameras. Would I hire a general contractor, the electrician that would run the Cat 6, or do I need to seek out security system installers?

Has anyone been able to configure a native plugin to connect to AWS or Azure storage to upload just the clips when motion is detected? I saw a number of FTP bridge options, but was wondering how extensible it would be for a direct connection.

I'm closing on a house in a couple of weeks and am starting to plan my security system and surveillance setup. I spent most of this weekend reading everything I could on this site and have drafted the following potential setup. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!
