    Driveway alarm? 1,200 feet.

    Anyone have any luck with a long range driveway alarm? I have tired one or two but they never work very well.....no alarm at all or false alarms. I bought cheap models $40. I wonder if the more costly models would be any better.

    Can you use a poe hub with swann camera system?

    It’s a nvr. I wonder how one would do in a attic and can you replace the HDD with a SSD I’m not sure where the software to run the system is stored might be a issue if you changed the storage.

    CAT5e or 6 for outdoor run?

    LOL yes this would be underground ran and crawl space ran to single IP cams well under the 300 ft max.

    CAT5e or 6 for outdoor run?

    I'm out of CAT5e outdoor cable is there any use to buy CAT6 instead? It cost a little bit more but will it ever matter for IP Cams over a distance since CAT6 can't do it's higher speeds at a distance.
