    Cables for less Experiance?

    I ended up finding new Trucable Cat6A for $125 per spool. Its yellow. I got one and kinda thinking i should go back for the 2nd at that price its more than half off. I wanted purple for cctv but it doesnt really matter.

    Cables for less Experiance?

    Yeah im going to run 23awg cat6 unshielded incase I change any of the cameras to ptz and want the extra headroom for power needed. Cat5e is way more than whats needed for almost any case except a very power hungry ptz. However, with a $30 difference ill just stick with the cat6. Shielded seems...

    Neighbor checking my pool

    When it says wired it means power wall plug not poe. They have solar and wired. I dont think they have any poe at all. Its all wifi or solar. The camera is in fact, wifi only connection. Wired to a wall using a USB hard wired into the camera. If that makes sense.

    Neighbor checking my pool

    Hey, it's this one. But just a heads up, TP Link integrated Kasa into their line up so any future cameras i buy will be TP-Link and not Kasa. Tp link app adapts for both but the Kasa app won't import tp link cameras. Its 34 bucks and is 2k but does feature person detection which is great until I...
