@TonyR Thanks. This is one of the areas that is a pain any time you are learning something new... terminology. I don't care what industry you are learning about, it takes time to figure out the terminology and what it means, how different vendors use it, and how vendors use similar...

Yep, my wife has taken to reviewing the previous nights activity when she gets home from work each day or first thing in the morning on the weekends. So far we have had multiple cats wandering around, 1 cat playing with a mouse, a raccoon on the deck checking out the bird seed storage...

@TonyR I purchased a smaller box of the Monoprice "Riser Rated" cable from Amazon a couple of weeks ago, and was happy with it. I was hung up on the one I linked not be "riser rated" until I found something last night that indicated that CMR was the same. I purchased 3 for my initial runs - I...

Additional question, is there any difference between the cable I linked to in the original post from trueCable and this cable from MonoPrice that I needs to be taken into consideration? Monoprice Cat5e 1000ft Blue CMR UL Bulk Cable, UTP, Solid, 24AWG, 350MHz, Pure Bare Copper, Reelex II Pull...

I think I have the locations of the cameras nailed down, so now I need to get cabling and run it. Before I purchase a bunch of unecessary or wrong stuff, I am looking to the smart folks for input.... I have the Klein Ratcheting crimp tool (VDV226-110) and the Klein Lan Scout Jr 2 cable tester...

@looktall - Thanks. For now it be will going on a shelf.

Since it going to be down in the basement in an area that we usually aren't in, I am not too worried about noise - at least until it becomes an issue :)

I replaced the Amcrest cable with a MonoPrice Cat5E Solid, and the problem seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I pasted the wrong link. Dell Networking X1026P Managed Switch 24 Port GbE PoE 2x Gig SFP Ports

Anyone have any knowledge or thoughts on this switch: Dell Networking X1026P Managed Switch 24 Port GbE PoE 2x Gig SFP Ports Thanks, Eric

@bp2008 - Thanks, that makes sense.

@looktall - Wouldn't a single switch be a single point of failure the same as a one switch in the connection having an issue?

@bp2008 - Thanks for all of the information! I think I found a place that I can put the switch and the BI machine that will not be where noise will be an issue, and will allow me to more easily run the cables to than my original idea, so I don't think the fans won't be a problem. I figured for...

@wittaj Thanks, I'll look at that. @looney2ns - I got the cable when I got the reolink cameras, before I found this site, and it would fit through the hole to the outside of the house where the cable came in, so I used it. It is/was always (after finding the information here) only temporary...

I went ahead and added a new user to the camera, then deleted and re-created the camera in BI. The BI Camera Settings -> Video -> Find/Inspect did not recognize the camera (it did the thing at the end of the dialog where it has various models with a "?" and then did not fill in the streams with...
