My name is DRZmaui, I’m an IP addict.
After filling up all the slots on my second switch, running out of 1000 feet of Cat5e cable, and being on a first name basis with Andy at Empire Tech, I admit, I got a problem. Just installed my 19th camera.
In the shooting communities, it’s said once you need a second gun safe, you got problems. Think this is a similar situation.
My brother tells me my house is starting to look like a drug dealer crack house. Think my neighbor are kind of looking a little strange at me. (I’ve included some shot of my place, what do you think?)
What started my spiral fall into the rabbit hole was two things;
My wife is alone while I work nights,
There were some car break-in’s in our neighborhood.
Like many on IPCam talk, I think were pretty much similar; Middle aged to retired, keen enthusiasts/hobbyist, and came into CCTV with no intention to be so obsessed.
Before you all flame me about the height of my cameras, they serve the propose they were intended. Placing them lower would have looked pretty ‘getto’.
BTW, since placing my cameras, no break in on my side of the neighborhood. Maybe all the cameras are acting as a deterrent? The IPCameras have caught all kinds of crazy stuff (see some of my other post). And we live in a great neighborhood.
