    Neighbor checking my pool

    When it says wired it means power wall plug not poe. They have solar and wired. I dont think they have any poe at all. Its all wifi or solar. The camera is in fact, wifi only connection. Wired to a wall using a USB hard wired into the camera. If that makes sense.

    Neighbor checking my pool

    Hey, it's this one. But just a heads up, TP Link integrated Kasa into their line up so any future cameras i buy will be TP-Link and not Kasa. Tp link app adapts for both but the Kasa app won't import tp link cameras. Its 34 bucks and is 2k but does feature person detection which is great until I...

    Neighbor checking my pool

    So i have a cheap tp link kasa outdoor wifi cam until I can run some poe cams. Neighbor stands on mower to see if my pools clean. Years ago when I was changing my liner and it went a week dirty he called the city and they came out to inspect for "stagnant water" which falls under a health...

    Nosey neighbor?

    Have you tried just telling him "Hey I added a camera that only covers the road so we can catch any kids who come in trying to steal from our cars" or something like that. Sometimes it can go a long way. You might even crop out his house and print the picture off or send it to him via...

    Trench fiber, cat6 etc

    I do not. They're not allowed where I'm at in the city. We have an acre, no hoa but the neighborhood behind us is newer, smaller lots with hoa. I've had the city contact me when I started the coop because of a complain filed. I then had to submit a site plan, plot plan, design plan and pay a...

    Trench fiber, cat6 etc

    I think I'm just gonna run 3/4" pex for the fiber in white so it's not blue or red. Then throw down the conduit for the power. Idk direct burial wire sounds alot easier than pvc conduit

    Outdoor ethernet cable questions

    Co Correct, the only thing that would corrode is in the connector. If they cut it half way or even a few inches behind the connector then they will get fresh copper and not have an issue. I'm 90% sure that's the plan. If we couldn't tuck it away we would do the same thing just to keep the...
