So, in my mind, I have the same thought process as you. I will put the PoE switch where the NVR currently is and plug all right camera wires into it. The uplink will go into the rear of the NVR in the basement in Port 1. I did not think I would need to reconfigure anything. Side note, the new...

As per the manufacturers website... 12VDC: 0.5A, max 6W; PoE (802.3af, 37V to 57V), 0.2A to 0.1A, max 7.5W. Is is safer to assume each camera is pulling 8W, since it looks like 7.5W is the highest they'll go? Thanks!

Can I use any brand PoE switch? Any recommended wattage?

Hello All, My NVR is currently located on the second floor of my house, where all my CAT6 camera wires run to. I am looking to relocate the NVR to the basement of my house. (I have several unused CAT6 wires going from the second floor location to where I want the NVR in the basement) Can I...

Yes, 3’ deep vinyl fascia underneath the roofline. I know junction boxes are an option, but I don’t want to add the weight or height of junction boxes. I feel junction boxes take away from the look of the finished product. A lot of people like a flush mounted camera. I’m one of those people.

Before posting, this was going to be my method of attack. Basically make an 8 with the original hole and new hole touching either other.

At 4 of my 7 camera locations, the cameras will be mounted to the underside of an eve. “L” style mounting brackets will not work in those positions. I’m not really looking to add to the height of the cameras by adding junction boxes. I was basically looking to see if anyone knows a way in which...

So here's my situation... Did a renovation to my house and was able to run CAT6 cables to 7 locations around the house for a new 4MP camera system. Contractor sided the house and pulled my CAT6's through the new siding but it wasn't until I received the new cameras (this week) that I realized...

I short stretched on two of my runs to my NVR. It is too late for me to re-run new CAT6 at the correct lengths; the walls are up and painted. Is it OK to use an CAT6 inline coupler to extend my mistake(s)? In theory it should work fine. Just asking if anyone has used them before. Thanks for...

Hey All, I will be completely ripping out my old home CCTV system in the next month and replacing it with a HIKVision NVR setup. Below is the setup I am strongly considering, any suggestions or feedback would be great appreciated. If you have experience with any of these items, please let me...

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. I ordered a 1000' pull-box of the CAT6 cable from CablesAndKits.com. And just for clarification, I will be running the CAT6 on the INTERIOR of my house to the 8 new IP cameras which will be installed on the EXTERIOR of my house. I was never considering...

Hi All, I will be installing 8 IP cameras throughout the exterior of my house in the next few weeks. I am interested in purchasing bulk cable from Monoprice. Should I be purchasing CATE5e Riser or Plenum cable? I'm thinking Plenum because it can be ran between floors (I have a split ranch...
