New, learning but I’ve gotten started

Probably hold off on the big expensive PTZ for now.....I have found that while my PTZ gave me some flexibility while i was on site at the Condo.....It really needed to be fixed in one spot overnight.
and messing with the settings during the day...eventually got to be a problem when I'd come in and have missed a capture becuase it had left it set up differently during the day..
A static cam will yield better consistent results when your starting out.

I ran outdoor cat5e inside and out. just because I had so much extra and with a 3 cable pull to the Condo laundry rooms it was the economical thing to do.....for the Condo's budget.
prefer to pull plenum when indoors but it wasn't my money....

You might be surprised at the typical LPR cams we use here.
might have enough zoom power to not have to use a tree to mount.....
mine are mounted on the house.....

I want to buy the LPR camera and play with it. Love to not need tree mount but I’m not sure on the angle. Also a much more obstructed view unless I do some clearing which is not out of the question. I’m not on a corner. I do want to be able to read plates.

Here is an instance where you might say " PTZ auto track good", "static cam bad"...
highly unlikely this will be your use case scenario....

I think you misunderstood what was being said - I need some outdoor cat 6 and was wondering if running outdoor cable inside was recommended just to save me from buying separate spools.

I will run indoor cat6 inside and bite the bullet and spend more for the short run of outdoor I need instead of using outdoor everywhere

Sorry, I was replying to another post.

When I told my wife about the ”present” in the front yard she said - How do you know it’s not from a dog? Anyway, it’s a frequent stop for delivery drivers, providing a little cover. What I despise is when they leave me a bottle filled with yellow liquid that I’m supposed to clean up. The ”present” was not liquid.

I’d be fine with that.

Same cable that I use except for the color. It has served me well with no problems.
