The sequencing of various trades is important. It's not uncommon for plumbers, electricians, and hvac to get in each others way and NONE of them will care about your wires. It's best if you can do your part after them, but then you have less time. Also don't do anything stupid like drill...

I replied to your post in the other thread comparing two different system (Qolsys IQ Pro and Vista 20P). I prefer the IQ Pro over the 20P but if you want self-monitoring with the Envisalink than you need the 20p. Keypads- Honeywell 6160 for standard keypads or Honeywell Tuxedo or 6290 for...

New construction home. Framed but not drywalled. Windows installed. I'm looking to install the security system myself. I am a big fan of Home Assistant which I understand the Honeywell Vista 20P has an integration using via Envisalink (eyezon EVL4 module). I'm happy to wire as much as...

"It seems weird to just have an ethernet cable hanging outside for many months waiting for the final camera to be mounted."... Most of the time, that's what I dealt with in new construction. Many electricians in my area for whatever reason treat LV cabling as not real electrical work, and they...

welcome @squbbles Looks like a nice place .. Try drawing a few spots on the image for cameras you'd like to place ..

Hi all, We are just starting a new construction home and I am looking for recommendations for camera placement. It is a small home, but I want the entire perimeter covered. The driveway is only about 30ft to the street. Currently leaning towards PC running BI setup. Any input would be...

On that scale, it's probably worth it to buy those bundled cables that combine RG6 and Cat5e/6 inside an outer jacket. You could also pre bundle and respool the cable with some electrical tape every few feet, you can even do that from the comfort of your favorite recliner. A helper is worth...

@JohnKol I commend you for sticking around for 6 weeks all the while getting beat up. Trolls tend to lob a comment and then slink away to their parents basement. I don't think it is fair to call you a Troll. You put up with a lot of abuse. This discussion avoided me when it was volatile but I...

Another reason why late night posting is a bad idea. You're right and my brain was mush. I did get the 5442 Turrets and IPC-Color4K-X 2.8mm & 3.6mm cameras. Sounds like there is a bracket that might work...

I thought from a previous post you bought cams from Andy? Anyhoo, what specific model(s) of Reolinks are you wanting to mount to that circular ceiling box?

Cat6a shielded cable is intended to run network speeds up to 10G, and the bulk cable is very stiff and hard to work with especially installing the shielded connectors.. I've found the manufactured and pre-terminated lengths of Cat6a cable are much easier to manage and are more flexible. I...

$156/500ft The cat 6a shielded 1000ft was $255, but too many reviews of needing "special" connectors due to cable diameter, and the "stiffness" of the cable was a concern, since I am not doing a new construction install. Question; What RJ45 connectors would people recommend, or should I stay...

...I assure you they will not be "too close". After that it really just depends on what your goals are. Since this is not a "new construction" situation, you can install cameras as you see the need. Many people are going to want 1-2 cameras at the front door. One that shows the people...

True, I have already seen new construction homes this way.

I agree POE is not a great when you are replacing an existing doorbell. But running a network cable to the doorbell location is becoming more and more prevalent in new construction. Eventually it will become the "standard" and using a old doorbell with a transformer will be the "odd ball"...

No, I have installed an RJ25 socket unit in the back of a cupboard. The faceplate allows four sockets to be installed. Unless, of course, that is what you meant. Unfortunately the boat has sailed in terms of the cable used and already installed. With UK building construction, there are not...

Looking for a solution to for a small/medium 1700 sq ft house on a busy city street. Alerts and monitoring are important, but do not need license plate recognition or full color at night (since I don't have any artificial light sources other then a few wall lights). I did a bit more research and...

The ban on NG furnaces is the scary part. As if they didnt increase our energy costs enough....Bottom line is this, the folks that make parts for the NG appliances, the NG suppliers, pipeline maintainers have learned what can happen if you dont grease public officials. Other industries better...

If the Feds back off of this, Mommy Dearest here in NY already has spouted off about doing this for all "NEW" construction in NY. No Worries though, she is doing a study to get to the root cause on why people are leaving NY. Makes total sense, I sleep well at night knowing we are in such good...

The push in connections should be illegal! I really like the receptacles with the side clamps. I always sort of hated the loop around the screw, even though it does make a good connection if used correctly! I'll pay more for better devices to get the clamp type connections! They're what I've...

building a new house on the water -- around 7,000 square foot, three stories. Here's the footprint, I'm thinking around 6 cameras or so from andy on the first floor should do it, where I put the arrows, then maybe a camera on the second or third story on the front/back/side of the house to get...

^^ Ooo, Smart Idea I hadn't even considered. See what wiring the house already has and see if you can take advantage of that. If there is a room near by that has wire ran already

All new construction here in the Houston area is brick veneer. But as @Firefighter stated, it will not be a smooth, easy fishing experience. I will bet that there are LAN jacks in every room, some rooms probably have more than one. If you can get from the outside to one of these, you can place...

There are so many possibilities. First, it is always better to hardwire something rather than use wireless. So if this is for a current building being constructed, you want to try to wire as much as possible while you can. On the other hand, if this is for a existing structure, then wiring...

Same thing they're doing with the electric cars. They drive up the cost of gas now to herd the sheep into electric cars, then when there's critical mass, they'll drive up the electric cost to sheer the sheep.

It is just another way to generate revenue for the gov't. They know that if you have solar, you will be paying less tax on your electric bill. So let's tax the solar, and while we are at it, charge even more!

Gotta love the libs. First they force you to get solar on new construction, then turn around and tax you for having solar. What's wrong with that picture? Nothing at all in the mind of a mindless liberal/Marxocrat/Socialist.

Understand the Starlink v2 rectangular antenna have a detachable connector (like micro-usb type). The customer will bring the hardware (antenna/router + two mesh). The objective is to install several cameras around and existing house, while adding a new construction to an adjacent property...

I have a BNC system that I want to upgrade and am in a similar situation as you. I want to keep the current wiring since it was put in with new construction. My plan is to go with the Dahua ePOE system, which will allow me to use a smaller/cheaper device pair (LR1002) at each end of the coax.
