    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Mounts for 5442 ZE

    Do most people use a junction box when mounting vertically on brick? I'm not sure its a great idea making a big hole in the brick to push the pigtail through.

    Mounts for 5442 ZE

    Thanks. That is the one I was looking at. Would this also be for mounting on a horizontal soffit? I'm not sure if being able to push the pigtail into the house changes what I need.

    Outdoor ethernet cable questions

    1. About how long should the cable stick out of the wall? Looking at the attached picture, the cable seems too long to me. There is no way to push it in. 2.

    Cable termination at camera end

    I have long cable runs going from my basement to outdoor camera locations. Given these are solid (not stranded cables), is there a best method to terminate the cables at the camera end? I figure you have to use RJ45 so you can plug it into the camera. My understanding is that RJ45 is not good to...

    Mounting server rack to concrete basement wall

    Turned out great. Counterbore was completely necessary to otherwise the head of the concrete anchors would interfere. I also stained the wood to protect it from basement moisture.

    Mounting server rack to concrete basement wall

    Wow. What a great Thanks! This is so detailed and helpful. Do you think I need a washer with the tapcon? Can I just make the size of the counterbore the widest part of the screw head of tapcon? It almost looks like it has a "built in" washer.
