    Shielded cable help

    So, for our shielded runs, should we or should not terminate the cable on the camera side like this? Just wanted to clarify because one here said to terminate the cables the same way on both ends and someone else said not to. And thanks again to everyone for your input and help!

    Focal length?

    When trying to figure the focal length to ensure you get the correct fix lens camera, how is the height of the camera mounted factored in?

    Shielded cable help

    Appreciate you starting with the basics! So, yes, both ends of the runs will have shield RJ45s or Keystones. As @tangent mentioned, maybe the correct info I'm needing to learn is how do I terminate the foil and drain wire on each side of the run? For the Ubiquiti POE injector to antenna run...

    Question about shielded cables

    Good morning and hello! I'm fixing to complete a camera install in an industrial setting. About 85% of the cable runs will be in areas with high-voltage wiring and large electric motors, so I will purchase all shielded cables. My question is about the 15% runs where I will not need shielded...

    Would a boobie cam be the best in this situation?

    Thank you, everyone, for your time in leaving your feedback/suggestions. I was definitely thinking of a fisheye and 180deg camera, too. But please correct me if I'm wrong; the fisheye camera does not play well with BI and I would have to somehow mount the 180deg camera sideways to possibly get...

    Would a boobie cam be the best in this situation?

    We need to monitor the product in the trailers and the area where the drivers/workers are when unloading (red line on this pic). Thinking of a boobie cam where the green dot is up higher on the wall.

    IPC-Color4k-T question

    In your opinion or experience, would the 3.6mm IPC-Color4k-T be a good option to cover the entry/exit of normal size doors? Or would the focal length be too far off?

    Next time you are there, push for a varifocal with the 1/1.2" sensor instead of a stinking color! :thumb: ;)

    Quick question, we are selling our home

    And we have five cameras we bought from Andy... Is the proper thing to do is leave the IP addresses and passwords for each camera for the new buyers? Is there anything else you recommend we should do to help the new buyers out?

    Cable question

    The runs for the cameras will be in a warehouse where during business hours, the large doors will be open. The cables will not be in direct contact with rain or sunlight but will be exposed to humidity, heat, and cold... Do you feel we'll need any special-rated cable for this environment? Our...

    Little future proofing for a home build

    Hope this works out!! While installing our water line, we decided to add another trench for two, 1-inch PVC runs. The plan is to use these 1-inch PVC runs for ethernet so we can have IP cameras at the end of our driveway sometime in the future. Speaking of this, what ethernet cable would you...
