Upgrade Dahua Cameras.

[RDB85]

I’ve decided that I want to upgrade my Dahua NVR and Cameras. Unfortunately the other half decided they wanted a Gazebo. The camera is mounted on the UPvC Fascia. So it’s a new piece of Fascia or change the camera.

I know there are the 180 camera from Dahua but I’m looking for recommendations. The other camera is covering the Patio Doors as it is a blind spot. I’m also looking to add another camera. To cover the garden.

I’m not fussed on price but I would like a top end NVR and cameras. Any help would be great.

I'm not understanding.

You want a camera that will somehow see through the Gazebo roof?

No, not through it, as it’s fabric, but maybe something that looks down. I’ve seen the 180 degree cameras and was wondering would that be work?

Can't you mount the camera on the bottom?

 

[bigredfish]

Can you not adjust the existing cameras "down"

Mine all adjust 180 degrees any direction

No, the 180 camera wont inherently solve your problem

Below it is a k render wall. It’s not an option.

I can try and move it. I was just seeing whether another camera could work.

Lower the camera and/or put it at a different spot.

I can’t lower it. Also to move it would require the holes filling where it’s being screwed in.

Pic of the mounted camera?

Move the light, buy another base and a cover plate, buy a conduit, cut it in shape and connect the two base to lower the camera to where you want it.

It’s okay. I’ll buy a new piece of fascia. And do it properly.

Any suggestions please for the cameras and an NVR?

Remove the current camera and junction box. Get a "L" shaped schedule 40 connector to go into the hole where the junction box was. Schedule 40 conduit... one end connecting to the L connector down to where you would like the camera. Mount the junction box back.... conduit going into the side of the junction box and the camera back on the junction box. Have an RJ45 coupler and a patch cable on the existing network cable to extend it to the new location.
