I finally got around to installing cameras on the last house that I lived after being there for about 6 years. We moved two years later, but I really came to rely on them and enjoy having a good system to check on things when I wasn't home. We have been in this new house for about 6 months and I finally started to install cameras on it just before Irma hit us. Last week I picked up the project again and wanted to put up a few pics of how I am doing things. It's a concrete house with a concrete roof and attic spce in the middle of the house where the a/c duct runs. The only option was to run pipe all the way around the house and mount the cameras to boxes. I have a utility pole in the front yard where my electric service is dropped and meter is mounted. The builder ran a cat5 cable from that pole into the center of the house along with a coax cable for internet and tv. I was able to pull several more cat5 cables over to the pole to use for cameras. The pole gives me a good shot both ways down the road and covers our driveway. These are Dahua 3MP motorized zoom bullets and the HikVision 4MP 2.8mm mini dome with the built in mic. I am using a Dahua 4K 16 channel NVR w/o PoE and a NetGear 16channel - 8PoE Prosafe switch for now.
