    Installation Woes (too much $$$)

    Fortunately, I have a street light directly across the street. I have also seen (here) numerous IR floods and spots, if I need extra night lighting. Glad that I mentioned how helpful dalepa had been in the past, and glad to know he is still around.

    Installation Woes (too much $$$)

    Regarding the monthly charge, I had to ask my wife, approximately $30. She asked why, I told her fenderman on the ip cam forum asked. "Great, now we are going to do the camera thing again!", she said, as if I told her I wrecked her car. I had her look at Nelly's page NSC-2X4-DM 4MP WDR EXIR...

    Installation Woes (too much $$$)

Both my previous and new home were/are new construction with high attics, so plenty of room and ran whole house fan prior to going up top, so the air was cool. If I...

    Installation Woes (too much $$$)

    I am just north of Sacramento, Ca. I was astonished at the cost, since I paid $2000 to have my custom home alarm installed (all hardwired, no wifi): 12 windows, 6 doors, 2 motion sensors, smoke/CO2 alarm, and three keypads. Thank you all for letting me know my area isn't too far out of the...

    Installation Woes (too much $$$)

    There are no security system installers in my area, but many electricians and telcom/electrical contractors that offer installation of owner supplied equipment, but no support & no "fine tuning" of equipment, just install and gone. I have no problem with software, since I use Blue Iris, yet...
