Bennington Nebraska after the storms last Friday. Its the backside of the garage in the video posted above.

This was the backside of the garage on Saturday AM when we were removing some of the debris. 5 Harleys and the Vette made it out with minimal damage.

The siding on this house is Hardie board.. and it stood up fairly well, only exception being where it took direct hits from flying debris. the splatter paint look is from flying mud and leaves.

The customer did lose power about 5min before the storm hit the house, but the only camera that lost video feed at that point was the doorbell. the rest of the cameras were powered off the NVR and POE switch that I had connected to a battery UPS onsite. I was impressed that the UPS actually...

Awesome video Andy!

I freakin' love this idea!

The only thing I would caution you on this approach would be that I have ran into instances in the past where connecting a 100mb device on the outfeed of an AP will sometimes default that entire AP to only 100mb instead of 1GB. I recently completed a similar install to what you are doing, but...

I would buy the 5442s and NVRs from Andy at Empirecandy all day long. Over the past several years I have purchased probably 200 cameras from him, and always received quality products, great and fast support. You will not find better service or product. I have dealt with several different...

I prefer the older design as it was cast metal instead of just the plastic mount/base as well. Seems to hold up better in the elements outside.

I have been running pfSense for the last 3-4 years as well on a Protectli Vault at our house and love the flexibility and stability (can be a bit overwhelming at first) For clients, I often use the Ubiquiti UDRs for ease of access/manageability as well.

Make sure you set the doorbell to utilize a static IP address as well to prevent it from dropping later or rolling to a new IP address.

Over the past 3 years, I have bought approximately $40k worth of cameras and hardware from Andy and have yet to have an issue. Any time that I have ever ran into an issue, I have reached out to Andy and he is more than happy to help resolve any issue that I have, or that my customer has ran...

I have installed close to 30-40 of these doorbells, and have had zero issues until this situation. I have tried replacing the doorbell with a brand new one thinking it may be an issue with the doorbell itself. The issues still persist. I have also tried to configure the doorbell with two...

I have ran into this issue when the iris of a camera goes bad.
