    Camera placement suggestions

    I have not thought about an IP based intercom system but that sound interesting. What would you recommend? Thanks

    Camera placement suggestions

    Thanks for the advice but that ship has sailed, I am already receiving the equipment listed in my previous reply. I could have been more patient but want a system installed before I go on my next extended trip. Lucky for me two of the cameras you recommended I've already ordered.

I had it pre-wired when my house was built and like too many, finally had the system installed after our house was broken into during the day when no one was at home. It has been inactive for a number of...

Is it advisable to have cameras set up to capture license plates as they drive up and down...

    how to make good cat6 cables all the time

    I'll be starting an install for my house next week and am about to order bulk cable, tools etc. Do you have a link to the Monoprice 2-piece "suit"? The terminology on Monoprice isn't clear. What additional tools would I need for building my cables? Much appreciated.

    Asking for camera recommondations

    Thank you catcamstar and SouthernYankee. Seems I have to reading and research to do. I perceive a preference on the forum for Starlight and the low light strengths of 2MP. I am OK with a few but want some higher resolution to be able to pick up details at distance. We have had a few incidences...

    Asking for camera recommondations

    I am considering purchasing a Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E NVR for my house and would appreciate recommendations for the best cameras to purchase with it. Top quality is preferred but I don’t want to throw money away. I understand some on here prefer options other than a POE NVR due to noise and...
