I haven't had that problem yet but I can see it coming and apparently you already have or are anticipating it. With all the great shims made by 3D printer people I was hoping one would design and print something to guard the bottom area where the pin to unlatch the DB is inserted. A stout...

Does anyone have a solution to prevent people from using a paper clip to pop the doorbell off its bracket? Seems pretty easy to mess with the integrity of the doorbell itself; exposed network wiring, microSD card, weatherproofing, resetting the doorbell itself, etc.

A few things come to mind. Most Smart Doorbells have internal batteries. How long will they last? Who knows, I ran my LaView DB for 3 1/2 years. Not saying that is your problem but worth checking into. Next, I know this will not sound right since it has been working for 2 years BUT, I would...

I'm trying to troubleshoot an odd issue that I am seeing with my Amcrest AD410 doorbell. I've had it connected to my doorbell wiring for the past 2 years without issue, and then all of a sudden in the last week it started acting up and would die about every 24 hours. It would show completely...

Thanks for reply. Always use T568B for my cables. The switch shows that both power and data going to 3 of the problem cameras while only power to the fourth one. Pinging the noted IP addresses fails.

What wiring standard did you use when crimping the connectors on? (eg T568B) Do you mean that the link detect light on the switch is absent on the problem cameras? What is the result of pinging the assigned IP addresses of the cameras?

Well that certainly does create a bit of a problem. The posted schematics above reference 12v but I checked the specs and it is 110. Hrm.

Thanks Thanks Thanks, and again, Thanks for all the help and info! The camera looks more more better then mine.

The junction box is up to you. If you have a big enough hole that you can shove the wiring and pigtail back into the soffit or wall, you can do that.

I've used them on several houses doing lighting in ceilings. No problem at all, easy to use, been about 5 years, not had the first problem. They do make you wonder though, as the contacts just kind of "clip on". I'll keep using them, at least until I have a problem.......

I do believe we're looking at a inside wall cutout in a mobile home of the 70's, what with the 2x2's, thin particle board paneling, etc. Maybe it's furring strips and paneling over a outside concrete block wall to create a space for wiring, plumbing, etc. Hard to say!

I have used them with low voltage alarm wiring with no issues.

I use them low voltage applications with high current draw. 24Vdc MDR power wiring. Also use them in light fixtures. 120 and 277volt. They are indeed handy. But in a branch circuit for Plugs or lights i will stick with mechanical twist and wire nut.

Let's ask the AI .. Ok .. hmmm .. looks like the AI got tried of me quickly .. as on the 3rd try it stepped out of the convo ..

I would be interested in how well they work. I can envision using in an application like wiring a new ceiling fan or an outside light with shallow box. Still don’t know if I have enough guts to attempt it though.

Not sure where to post this most appropriately, so here goes.... Anybody out there used these yet? I kept seeing them used inside cramped switch and outlet boxes in European and SA videos featuring Shelly Wi-Fi switches. My curiosity peaked so when I discovered they are UL-listed I ordered a...

See my edit above.:cool:

Makes sense on the diode. Yes please forward as it would potentially allow me to reduce the complexity of the external wiring at the camera.

WAY out of my league......wow.

Good evening everyone. Due to issues around our neighborhood, my father is now looking at placing cameras around their property. My house is directly across the yard probably about 200-300 feet away. I offered up the idea of wiring some cameras up and then placing beams between our houses for...

I'll add my own project to this thread. Didn't realize the panel only allowed tandems on the lower 5 slots when I tore into it. I did however get around to replacing the 4 circuit 20A quad breaker with proper 15A ones. Apparently my solar installer didn't have 15A tandems when he needed to...

Yup. I installed an Arlo WiFi doorbell for my parents, and it was terrible, despite the WAP being less than 20' away through a wooden door and drywall. So I replaced it with a Netgear WiFi doorbell, and it sucks just as badly. My parents hear "Connected to network" 20x a day. If the doorbell...

Could be....if so it replied back in Sept. '23 to a summer of '22 post, likely triggered by the word "waterproofing". Turns out, the provided link is for waterproofing concrete, foundations, etc....not electronic/electrical wiring or splices. :wtf...

Yeah, well when I first started looking, I was looking at an NVR for around $700 and a Camera for $300 , so that's where I came up with $1000. Obviously if I can do it cheaper that's all good. I've been involved in computers and networking my entire adult life ( I mean like 38 years in my...

Low voltage landscape lighting transformers front and back. From each transformer I buried the wiring to each location to power the IRs.

green cable is positive power + (12v) green/white is négative poser (0v)

Florida....lightning.....70 feet of Ethernet cable in ground outdoors = damage to NVR I think I'd consider a different way to connect that garage cam this time....KEY QUESTION: Is there power in the garage? If so, I'd consider a pair of PLA's (Power Line Adapters), a wireless bridge if there...

Thanks Techguy, your post was informative. I called Lorex and they gave me a deal on a new NVR that's compatible with my existing camera's. I was beginning to believe the POE ports on the NVR may have been the issue. After the strike the 5 thru 8 ports connected camera's weren't working. After...

@wittaj I think I will take that suggestion. So if I were to buy that cam, poe switch, and the software I would be up and running then? Does using blue Iris instead of a nvr cut out any features the cameras may have or could it be beneficial to have the nvr too? @mat200 Good to know on the...

You could partially recess the cabinet (leaving it far enough forward to allow space for drywall and the door to open). Most often it's just surface mounted over top of a large hole in the drywall. You could run your security, network, and coax wiring into a couple of these: 28" Structured...
