    Recommendations for camera locations requested

    Thanks @mat200 . I jumped the gun and forgot to add the locations of the entrances to the house but have now updated the diagram. There is an entrance at the front of the house just to the left of camera location "2" and a second entrance on the bottom left corner of the house (left of camera...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    Re: They don’t come with an Ethernet cable, so you’d have to provide/wire. Thank you. What type of Ethernet cable: Cat-5, Cat-5e, Cat-6 or ? Is there an advantage to one over another? Thanks again!

    Yard sensors- Laser perimeter sensors or ?

    Haha, that's there as well. We'll be working out of a city of about 60,000 so it's a little more developed. The house is actually quite nice and the area is beautiful.

    Yard sensors- Laser perimeter sensors or ?

    Hi Tangent, We're renting a home and are fairly open as to what we can do to the property assuming it doesn't negatively impact the property. Aside from a couple photos we have limited information but know someone who has lived on the property recently and did not have any incidences. Attached...

    Yard sensors- Laser perimeter sensors or ?

    I'm sorry for the confusion, the security is for our place in Uganda, not the US. To the best of my knowledge, there is a 360 degree wall that surrounds the property with barbed wire at the top but despite these measures, break-ins are still occurring fairly frequently in similar properties.

    Yard sensors- Laser perimeter sensors or ?

    Thanks for the suggestion GCoco. I've looked into similar technology and was a little concerned about false alarms with motion type systems. There's quite a bit of wildlife that will likely be in our yard so I thought they may set off motion type alarms. What are your thoughts?

    I'm looking to add two general, reasonably priced cameras with good night vision to my Lorex system (4K Ultra HD IP NVR System with 4 Outdoor 4K 8MP IP Cameras, 275FT Color Night Vision, Real-time recording) and am considering these. Can anyone confirm that these cameras are compatible with my...

    Yard sensors- Laser perimeter sensors or ?

    Hello, My family is moving to Uganda in a month where we will work as missionaries for the next couple years. There has been an uptick in home invasions/robberies over the past couple months so in addition to my Lorex camera system, Ring alarm and LED motion detectors I'm looking for additional...

    Laymen Dahua Starlight System possible?

    Hi, I'm not super tech savy and am looking to install a basic security camera system to watch over our property while our family moves to Uganda as missionaries in February. Good night viability and app notifications of potential intruders are important. Also, internet is spotty at best so I...
