    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    I pulled 12? Truecable Cat5e to my deck through 1 1/4" and I wouldn't have gone any smaller than that. The Truecable stuff was pretty narrow, too.

    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    In my experience, having done my whole house, avoid using keystones with the face plates. Use something like this coupler below, instead. The keystones are too wide and don't fit side-by-side on the 2x3 face plates. You also would not need a punch down tool if you used these, just the same tools...

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    In trying to find the actual quote from the movie, I came across a lot of posts on forums and Reddit where this was being discussed. So, more than you would think.

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    He is supposed to be an expert in these things and, when being interrogated, goes into much detail about what happened, like he is a crime scene savant, but got something like that wrong, is what bothered me and turned me off. It would be like Sheldon spouting off a bunch of information, just...

    Reacher series - Anyone watch?

    I said the same thing about the Office to my wife. She just needed to get through Season 1 but, other than just not liking the vibe of Reacher, they lost me with these lines in episode 1. "Shooter was someone who knows firearms well. Bullets were small caliber... 9mm, 95-grain. That's subsonic...

    Surely, exporting video events cannot be as hard as I think it is...

    It's not hard at all, but, as far as I know, you are only able to export one camera at a time. You use the crop markers along the time slider to select the beginning and end of the clip you want to export. Click the export button in the top left. Set output format. Set export destination. Click...

    I have used a lot of the IDEAL connectors from Lowes, but got connectors from TrueCable when I made my last order. Both work well. Also, a continuity tester is a must when making your own cables, especially when using a patch panel. It's saved my butt so many times. Terminating CAT cable is...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    That is a job for two cameras. I would keep that one as is, and put a second one next to it looking down the drive. T54IR-ZE will get you to 12mm. Captures are install height of 7ft and distances of 18ft, 25ft, 40ft, and 75ft to the license plate. Distance clarity will be hindered at night...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    This is when "getting good details does not allow you to see everything" comes into play. I deployed a B52IR-Z12E-S2 on the fence to zoom in and give focus on the people on the path. It is a camera with a specific job and specific FOV. What does it see 99% of the day? Trees. Nothing but trees...

    Camera recommendation to mount looking down from 14' high eave?

    I have a Color4K-T180 mounted at the peak of my two story roof for sky/weather purposes. It has a 3.6mm focal length. There is a person in this capture. Can you give any details about them?

    A wonderful clean installation

    That actually wasn't all that bad and could have been way worse.
