Before I have a company run the cat6 I am planning some placement tests this weekend with a friend.
I will be using the forum favorite 2x4 in a 5 gallon bucket of rocks.
My camera setup is going to be Dahua 2231 everywhere around my house
I am using a Dahua 5216 NVR 16 channel
Here is my plan, please critique:
I want to streamline this and have it completed in about two weeks time so I can get the cameras placed. Please advise, thank you!

Here is my plan, please critique:
DAY TIME TESTING
- I will start by testing for the correct height (5-8') for identification of possible intruders w/ friend being the intruder
- I will then ensure I have max coverage of my property (determining the number of cameras needed)
- When I am satisfied with placement of each camera location, I will mark it with painters tape
NIGHT TIME TESTING
- I will place the camera at each location previously OK'ed during day time testing and leave it there over night
- I will act as the intruder and walk all over the fov of the camera
- I will review the footage the next day and ensure I make the proper adjustments
- I will then move the camera to the next location and do this until all locations are tested
I want to streamline this and have it completed in about two weeks time so I can get the cameras placed. Please advise, thank you!
