    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    I did mention the roadway to the right of the canopy. And not only that, but cars can also pull in and out of the property from the other driveway and never have to go through the left side. Your suggestion involves putting a camera about 4ft up a pole. Isn't that not ideal as far as preventing...

    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    What specifically about that set isn't right for me? I've read the Cliff Notes and I don't think I'm violating any of the considerations/recommendations in it. I've looked at the Dahua turrets on page 15 of the Cliff Notes. It seems I need to build a system of fixed and varifocal lens PoE...

    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    Cameras at the ground level basically? That sounds ripe for getting running over. And I would need wifi for anything like that and I don't want to use wifi. Also why not bullets? Bugs and webs haven't been a problem for the LED wall sconces.

    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    Yes and no. Cars usually pull in under the canopy in front of the office. A camera could be placed at the edge of the overhang to grab plates. BUT, cars also just as often stop beside the canopy or go to one of the parking spots beside the metal roofed carport. So it's not quite simple. The best...

    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    The property presents very little security risks with it being a courtyard motel and clear visibility of the whole property from the office (except behind, which is fenced on the left side and the back side nothing to worry about). There has never been a major issue in our 18 years here. We...

    Hello from coastal Georgia. Please help me secure a large motel property.

    Greetings, IPCamTalk. I'm doing a camera system for the first time and it's a large area so I need help coming up with a layout and then picking a specific system to buy. I do have experience installing the wifi network myself, for which I use Ubiquiti's Unifi system, but the camera system does...
