I’ll add this is also why every commercial, enterprise, and military installation pass through RJ45 connectors aren’t used. Using a dead end connectors provides a measure of protection for the copper wiring. I shoot some dielectric grease into the RJ45 connector before the wire / load bar is...

The manual / video isn’t very clear about this. As the the DB2 is advertised as a battery operated doorbell. But, has the connection points on the back to interconnect to an existing mechanical doorbell?!? A mechanical doorbell would / is connected to a 16~24 VAC transformer to operate...

Thanks for the info, hope I'm still around in more than 5 years and it's still working OK! :lmao:

One of my POE trail cameras went offline, two days ago. As I was thinking of all the possible points of failure, I mentally ruled out the "waterproof" coupler that I have in the middle of the long run, where I changed my mind on camera wiring 2 years ago. Well, after 3 hours of troubleshooting...

Are you using a known good factory ethernet cable? Or is it a cable you made? If you made it, did you terminate it using the 568B wiring standard?

+1^^^. Cameras and DVR/NVR's at HF are all analog (use BNC connectors) and are crappy at best, non-functional at worst....save your money, add some to it and purchase a name-brand NVR and compatible cameras Continue to read here on IPCT to help determine your needs (number of cameras, focal...

Thank you, would a hikvision camera automatically switch to the external microphone if wired properly? I wire it just like your photos, but it still insists to use the onboard crappy microphone. Is there some software setting you must change on the NVR side?

For the benefit of others these are other methods of wiring an external microphone when 12 VDC vs POE Splitter is being used.

On the camera the audio should be set to Line In vs Mic In. For best compatibility use G.711ulaw audio encoding. Wiring should be like this as seen in my photo based on the hardware on hand.

Yep, their gopher cousins would chew the thermoplastic on the traffic signal wiring in the underground electrical pull boxes. In 31 years I pulled dozens of their electrocuted carcasses out of those boxes. From what I understand they like it because of the soy content. Red, orange and similar...

It's a chipmunk. They like to chew on anything plastic including electrical wiring when they find a way to get to it. One year when we put some Christmas lights out early (the ones that look like a one inch ball in particular). We had a strand where a good number of the lights were chewed off...

Just wanted to chime in for the usual (Safety Nancy) feedback. If the motion sensor is 120 VAC ensure the Ethernet cable is well isolated from the high voltage line in that box if they are going to coexist! It’s illegal and not to code per NEC / CEC to have high & low voltage in the same box...

haha Just what @tangent said, there is no solution like you would have want it. Wiring to alarm input of NVR could work. If your NVR supports such linkages, which i highly doubt. What you need it custom solution service which will handle everything i mentioned above. I have already done...

One thing you could try: hook the keypad to short wires directly at the control panel, disconnect in-wall keypad wiring. I doubt it's your problem, but it's easy to eliminate a wiring issue causing problems on the bus at large. Some panels are more sensitive the resistance and capacitance of...

I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL ColorVu 8MP Panoramic Turret IP Camera and a DS-7604NXI-K1/AP NVR, but I cannot get them to work with or detect an external mic being plugged in. I have tried the hikvision branded external microphone just to avoid an questions of compatibility, but it...

They may want consider skipping straight to the Qolsys IQ Pro, which is basically a merger of the Neo and IQ with a built in communicator and easier installation. Not sure how the panel cost compares exactly, but they should absolutely try an IQ Pro. https://qolsys.com/iq-pro/

I help a small company do alm wiring that has used the DSC legacy systems. The NEO is what they're starting to use. If all else fails call their tech support. My boss was on the phone with tech support on a NEO programming issue the other day. He said the tech support guy said he liked the NEO...

Just some thoughts. I have a couple of cameras running reliably near the 100m limit, with a couple of differences from your installation: (1) The wiring is 23 awg solid copper cat6. Your description left open that yours could be CCA. (2) I'm using a business class POE switch, which could work...

Hi, I tested the cable plugging to our normal gigabit switch and made a speed test. The speed came as full our internet speed (80mb Download + 20 upload) As far as I remember the data speed was 100mbps, but it would be down to the laptop itself, it may or may not have a gigabit ethernet card...

I think that both those statements let out PoE voltage drop as the issue, assuming the 12v adaptors were local to the camera. It seems to be a data transmit problem, not a PoE problem. What was the full speed? What type of ports was the cable connected to on this test, eg 100BaseT or Gigabit...

not to take this thread off topic, how exactly do you use the dielectric grease on the connectors? Do you literally apply the grease inside the connectors? or Outside to cover any "holes" that air/moisture might get through ? Got a picture of how it's apply?

Even though you said "the deck rafters are storm proof", I'd at least consider using dielectric grease on the Ethernet connections (male RJ-45 on cable, female Rj-45 on switch) to help mitigate corrosion from moisture. :cool: We've seen recent damage from ants getting into a switch that was...

I've been using Arlo cameras as a temporary measure, as they are easy to install and the notifications work. I've never had any luck with Notifications and my Hikvision cameras. I think I need to upgrade my NVR though. I was going to run three camera cables through the attic to the POE switch...

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.
