Is he a frequent visitor? lol. Can I ask, what IR floods are you using and how are the powered? That one in the backyard seems to do very well especially since you describe the extreme darkness back there
Thanks.
I appreciate your input.
I was trying to avoid this because I’m lazy around the holidays but With some elbow grease, I could technically get network cables from my four cameras in garage area down into my basement, and then simply plug them each into the back of a POE NVR. Likewise, plug...
So in this scenario, would this work. I swap out my POE switch in the garage area for a regular switch and plug all those cameras in the garage area into that switch. Then run the cable from that switch down into the basement and connect directly to one of the POE ports on the NVR. Purchase a...
thanks @wezal15 Now that I think of it, the set up videos I have watched were PoE NVR which obviously can put cameras on its own seperate network since it has a built-in switch right?
@wittaj @Ri22o @bigredfish
could I please get your input on this so I can start to run more network cables if that’s what’s needed? Any network suggestions much appreciated
thanks in advance!
Thanks for the reply. Forgive me in advance for my lack of networking knowledge ( still learning lol) but if you are asking could I remove the connection from the PoE switch to the asus node (loft area) and instead run another cable to connect that switch and the other PoE switch (basement...
Hello,
See attachment please.
As the title suggest, I am trying to see if this setup will work to add a EmpireTech NVR 8XCH-AI (non PoE) and some Andy cams to my existing setup that includes Cat6 cabling thats already in the locations listed and existing PoE switches.
I watched the NVR setup...
I have a MacBook Air 2020, M1 running Sonoma 14.1.2. I have the same cameras and NVR on order. Do you think I will have full access to setup and features or will I need something else?
thanks!
Yea, I see its really popular and probably offers more features than I would ever no how to use...Im more of a simple man and probably would be content with a NVR unless I am missing something obvious that makes an NVR a non stater for some???
@mat200 @actran
Also, I forgot to ask.. In the Wiki I was reading about the NVR and PoE vs Non PoE. I have never had one... I got the impression from reading it's almost better to have a NON PoE. I currently have all my PoE cameras in the front area of house (3 of them ) connected to a PoE...
Thanks and yea I have seen some members not so happy with that camera. I just like its small form but really after I think about it, I am not sure I will be happy with it and dont think its all that capable to reach that far into my front yard with worthwhile footage. Are you thinking the...
Thank you @mat200
Do you have any recommendations for where to mount the camera near my front door and for the camera to the left of the garage. Hopefully if you look at my pictures, you can get an idea of possible mounting locations. Also with the turret style camera, if I end up mounting...
After reading some more on here and looking at some other members installs and posts, @ICPete @Ri22o , @wittaj , I’ve come up with a tentative plan for a few cameras and install locations in the front of the house and would like your thoughts please. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Good day and thank you for allowing me to join the group!
I have spent the last week or so reading multiple threads within these forums. My gosh, some of you are truly amazing and knowledgeable when it comes to home, security cameras, and all the hardware and technology behind it.
In some of...
