    I would mount one over my garage looking out. I would see myself backing out into traffic every day even though I have room to turn around and face out. There have been a few near misses as everyone speeds on my road. PS this is an amazing forum for beginners to learn about the surveillance...

    Thanks. Is shielded cable the best one? . Most on Amazon don`t specify shielding ,only Cable Matters. Most of them say copper.I wanted to buy the lengths all ready made as I only need a few.

    Can someone recommend the best wires to use for my cameras? I see Cat5 to Cat8 round and flat available. Is one brand or specific type best for best quality signal and durability?I`ll probably go with premade lengths. Thanks

    Hi Can anyone tell me if I purchase 2 of these: IPC-HDW5831R-ZE from Andy what it means that "stream 3 from them is not supported" by Synology NAS DS718+ ? Does it mean they are not usable or compatible or functions won`t work because of this?I was trying to avoid the brands / sellers...

    I have new LED motion lighting installed. I`m thinking if it is triggered there will be alot of light. Will this lighting help me choose the camera? I would like to take advantage of the latest technology. But compatibility with Synology DS716+ is something I have to clarify. I will probably...

    Thanks I was hoping for someone that was utilizing a Synology DS716+ . I am using windows 10 .Could you go a little more into your set up ?I had no idea 10 cameras could be plugged into it. I need to research a POE switch which I guess can power multiple cameras that my DS716+ cannot do. How...

    OK Just reading further I found the Cliff Notes. Didn`t see those before. I`ll spend some time with those. Looks very informative. I would like to avoid known issues and eliminate crap equipment and bad techniques if I try to install.
