Hey guys and gals, Yes, another one of these threads. Looking for some input on where to locate cameras around this house. Its not my house, this is a clients house that is new construction. All my experience has been with buildings that are already built so this is a little out of my comfort...

I feel your pain. But at same time, I understand that camera manufactures realize that 98% of residential folks in need of a doorbell+camera seek a wireless option, not hardwired. The higher priced doorbell+camera models are more geared towards a business (think backdoor of a warehouse) or a...

New construction project finally wrapping up. Video Security: 12 Dahua Starvis/Starlight cameras - mixture of 2mp, 4mp, and 8mp. 16 Channel LTS/Sapphire (Dahua) NVR Networking: Ubiquiti Dream Machine - Security Gateway and Cloud Key in one with 8 port switch Ubiquiti 24 Port POE Gen2 Switch...

Morning Everyone, So I am a complete newbie when it comes to home Security systems. This is also my first new home and I have been given permission to run my own CAT 6 cabling throughout. I plan on running a 8 Camera System for now exterior / Garage only at the moment. I have linked some...

Hi. Really hoping to get some experienced opinions on this setup before I pull the trigger. We recently moved into new construction at the edge of a very large development (~1000 units in 15-20 subdivisions). Our property is on the corner of the last side street before a dead end at the edge...

lol... oh, you'd be surprised at what they can screw up on... Here's a good example of a walk through on a pricey new construction home: and...

I think it really depends on your own setup. I run one cable to my shop and then have 6 cams off a couple of POE switches there. I would believe by running a cable to each camera you could say you are not relying on just that one cable too, BUT in the end I am still relying on just one cable to...

The walls of the house are all open (like new construction) and I would like to place cameras on the outside of the walls. I can not horizontally mount at the soffit because I have open soffits. - I have wood siding. I would prefer to put the box on the interior, not surface mounted on the...

Very helpful, thank you. I did forget to take into account the additional costs of UPS, rack hardware, labor, etc that it would take to manage a second closet. I do have that issue of difficulty running a lot of wires into the existing home.

1. No. It for centralization of those lines and a single management point. I don't see troubleshooting changing much. 2. Yes it would/should easily handle the traffic (That I could imagine one to have in a house) fine. If you have physical constraints to running the wire that's another story...

@triplec, Could you sent me a link to the type of junction box you are referring to for the vinyl soffit?

So I've finally started a new thread in the installation area and will be posting the blue prints soon. Thank you for all of the warm welcomes. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-construction-planning.44665/

Well it took me a few days but I have my prints in a small enough file to post. I will also include a small survey of the property. I am currently most interested in how many cameras I should plan for and how many boxes to order. I am good with the wire but on the fence about NVR vs. Blue...

Home builder here and new to the forum as so many folks want this now so studying up to offer better product and retrofit for my own home. What we do in new construction is set a 2x4 in the soffit area from the end of truss outlooker if vinyl soffit then hang a weatherproof junction box and pull...

Hey all, Having had a porch pirate experience recently, I found this forum and thanks to Andy, got started on my LPR journey with an IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E. At this point I have the camera mounted in front of the garage, was able to capture my first license plate today via OpenALPR but I see a...

Hello! I’ve got my cameras all picked out and ready place an order but having difficulty picking the right mount for the camera. My house is a new construction and I had the builder place 6 drops around the house for cameras. I’ve attached photos of what the drops look like. They’re...

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...

Hi @Vg247 Thanks for sharing this. This is actually a very important subject as new construction purchasers will expect a company like "KB homes" to be the expert on building homes and the options for the homes. Clearing KB homes has failed in this case. Those are not "security cameras" in...

You've already done the hard part.

Many thanks, I totally forgot about the cliff notes..will read this in detail mat200. Unfortunately, I am out of town at the moment but the cable they ran look generic , just white colored cables with a bunch of numbers on them. They ran the cable home runs into my designated room, and the...

HI @Vg247 1) "..the new construction home electricians just installed them based on my designated areas.." This just shows that you can not trust others to do a good job. At this point, you want to check they used quality cable. Can you take a photo of what is printed on the cable? How does...

Thanks for this great advice.. i never gave it thought as the new construction home electricians just installed them based on my designated areas, and did not specify a height preference etc. I would like to ID typical standard images to capture clear people or issues should something not look...

Thanks! And I agree with your last statement. My inclination is to go down the route of purchasing the cams anyway and see what happens. Partly because over the past few days I've resigned myself to having new cables run in the worst case scenario. It won't cost me anything because I included...

Options as I see them: Borrow good hardware [work, friends, family, neighbor, student]. (Doesn't have to be a laptop though it would be easier to transport and setup of course.) Continue your tests. Be "that guy"* and "borrow" from an evil big box store you don't like with a generous return...

Here's a few more pictures of that Dahua gang box adapter: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/review-pfa200g-gang-box-adapter.39519/ In the pictures I used a 1-gang old work box (low voltage) to make it a little easier, but you could also use a full old work box too. I'd attach the Dahua gang box...

Looking for References for a reputable security camera installation shop in the Las Vegas area for my new construction home. It is already pre wired for 9 POE cameras, so I’m looking for someone to install the cameras and set up the NVR etc. Thanks in advance for any leads.

What kind of cameras are you looking to install? Post some pics of the boxes

Bought a new construction and when they pre-wired the home for security cameras, they enclosed the network cables in junction boxes. I've been searching for something that could attach to it so that the camera can go over the box. Trying to achieve a clean install. Does such a thing exist? Or...
