...poe connection and camera tail and are an absolute pain to mount large turret cameras while on top of a ladder because you can't premount or prewire anything due to how large the camera base it, it covers all the access holes to mount to junction box plate so it must be done in order while up...

Hey Yall, I posted awhile back over in installs that I convinced a buddy to allow me to prewire. Luckily he did and we wired for 16 IP Cameras. 16! lol He doesn't live close, so I didn't go the BI and Empire route like I would have preferred. He bought a Lorex kit. I'm just happy he did ANYTHING...

It would be hard to wrap the cams I think. Masking them for painting is kind of a pain too but I've done some. Kind of comes out as well as you do it. There are fixed versions of the 5442 cams but you won't save all that much. Around $30-ish less. Some other 2 MP and 4MP cams that are less...

...that route ) I'll check it out, thanks. Edit: Is there a fixed version? 175 a cam is more than he'll spend. I'm lucky to have gotten him to prewire for 16 cams. I won't get him to spend $175 a camera. Yes, I'm 100% aware you get what you pay for. It's not my build. I'll see if I can find...

...to run the remaining lines. So, my question is, can I run a CAT6 from an open port on the NVR to a Poe switch in the onQ panel and power the cams on the prewire? Moreover, will said cams automatically populate on the screen. I know this is a simple question, I only ever ran everything from...

...pivot point far enough out that the camera could get to 100 degrees before the camera body itself hits the wall. I could ask the builder to prewire towards the edge of that column wall instead of the center, but that would look terrible to anyone who saw the house from the left side and I...

you are welcome @ah6tyfour Run the cables now, you can decide to leave out cameras now if you want, and add any later if you feel the need. If you like, you can paint the camera bodies to match the house, and they will be less noticeable.

...plus a video doorbell), I guess I might as well just add another set of four points since the two points individually will cost more than putting in four. So I guess I can prewire for that room and decide if I want to use it later. Or put another point inside for an extra wifi access point.

...boxes to house the cable ends until the house is done, using blank cover plates. Then all I’d have to do is mount the cameras to the prewired boxes, but I haven’t found anything that talks about doing the work like this. The only type of camera “box” I’ve been able to find a junction boxes...

In my case, I just left the ethernet cable hanging out of the wall. The hole was about 15-20mm, put silicon in the hole. When the house was complete, I used the Dahua wall mount brackets, that covered the hole and wire. The camera then attached to the wall bracket. The silicon was easy...

Hello again! So the prewire is about to be done and the installer wants to install electrical boxes with wall plates where the cameras will be on the brick. So by the garage light sconces (#2, 3 and 4) and by the window on the left (#8). Does it make sense to do that from aesthetics perspective...

I was going to potentially go with the vendor's cameras (from what I have been told 1080p varifocal Speco cams) but given uncertainty on what I need, will probably pass and do testing first. Don't have access to electrician, unfortunately. Only after the house is done can hire someone for any...

Are you having to pay someone to do the prewire or is this something they builder will allow you to do yourself. I totally agree with the idea that you want to prewire to ANY potential location. This means wiring for a full blown, cross coverage system. Odds are you will never install that...

Glad it worked out for you. Makes you wonder about certain skill sets of so-called licenced tradies. Was he (or she) embarrassed that you suggested the fix?

...rewire my cat5es to 568B to test it out, even though he insisted it wouldn't make any difference and that he'd be surprised if it worked. The prewire tech said it wouldn't work either, but low and behold it did. Worked right off the bat and have a solid crisp picture all day long. Thanks a...

...pay him by the hour if needed, and also have the option of buying equipment from him. He did a nice walkthrough with me and gave me several prewire tips and is familiar with the local providers and how they handle their own demarcation and such. I've pretty much wired for cams (although...

...a motion detector floodlight but unsure if we should get a solar powered one separate from the camera. I will see to getting pics behind the prewire plates and maybe shoving either the AT&T box or NVR onto the closet shelf outside of the IT box. Maybe it's easier to get a longer cable for the...

...I'm hoping doing ours as residential will be far simpler. Unsure if this is the way to go for us. My biggest concern is the placement of the prewire above our garage door, it is in between the 2 car and 3rd car doors so is there a camera that would have clear vision for the entire width of...

...sebastiantombs for the info! I will go with putting the cameras on a separate network then. I attached my crude paint drawings of where the prewire locations are outside the house and a picture of the IT box. The AT&T box is huge and takes up a ton of space in there. Please let me know...

...to read the plate so it looked like a big white rectangle. I will look through the info provided! I like the idea of my posting pics of our prewire locations and the IT box. We may go with the NVR solution over purchasing another laptop so I will look into those, so that narrows it down to...

...Don't ask me how I know. Of course that's just my suggestion. Other may have ideas better than mine. Good Luck. I envy you getting to prewire your new place. My house is 60 yrs old and wiring anything is a female dog. P.S. Racks are like toolboxes....Always get one twice as large as you...

...to get everything run from attic, upstairs, main floor dropped into the basement where organization and clean up could start. 8,600 Ft of prewire includes - Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, 16/4 speaker wire, RG6, 22/2 and 22/4 alarm wire. Majority of everything was color coded - Red (Wireless AP's)...

Ok, so some of your mission is defined: Do not want to get a PC with Blue Iris, do not want to buy storage or POE switches. The other parts seem not well defined yet. Just what do you intend to use the cameras for? Specifically? Are you looking for peace of mind by having some cameras to view...

KB definitely are mounting these without any expertise or thought behind them with regards to camera applications or practicality. I did get one by the front door, and they mounted it also high as well approximately 15 ft up I would estimate. Will get some pictures up soon, thank you mat200

KB homes "KB Secure, Camera Prewire" fails to run cables to appropriate locations on new home construction in Las Vegas. IPCT member Vg247 encountered the following issue: KB Homes sold an option to pre wire for "KB Secure, Camera Prewire" for $145 per location ( one cat5e/6, one coax cable...
