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...

Great find ty, we are running 50 drops in new construction. Big TY !

Besides issues of electrical noise, there is a matter of safety. Imagine if someone were to accidentally drive a screw or nail into the area where the power and network cables were. You could end up with dangerous high voltage in the network cable which everyone assumes to be safe. This is...

Welcome. Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk If you want audio: Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE | IP Cam Talk If audio isn't needed: Review-dahua-ipc-hdw2231rp-zs-starlight-camera-varifocal You want to know who did it, not just what happened. Any cam above 8ft...

Welcome @Rich.L 8-10 feet high is typically too high for many cameras to provide the coverage you may image to help ID suspects. I would highly recommend at this time buying a good IP PoE varifocal camera ( like a 2MP Dahua OEM starlight model ) and a POE power source and testing the possible...

Hi everyone. I am looking to get some advice to design and install a wired security camera system at a new construction house. With out knowing too much about system design, I had our builder install 12 cat 5e cables for security cameras around the house and run them all to a closet that we...

Since this is new construction, future proof and make your data runs now. CAT6 is cheap (i'd personally go with CAT7), wiring your whole house (even spots where you may never use it) is worth the investment. I'd run a wire in each corner of the house, any doorways, and probably the center part...

If you are really set on a PTZ (which is not needed most of the time) This might be an interesting options. Its an indoor camera and will do fine in the garage. Here is one on andy's store...

Looking for suggestions for a couple of Starlight cams for inside a garage. New construction and breaking ground in a month or so. 3 car garage and workshop area, wide open space. Garage is 26’ deep x about 40’ long. I was thinking one mounted in the workshop area close to entrance into house...

Nobody appreciates slack until you need some and it's just not there. And pull strings. To some guys out there who I'll never know, thanks bud! ; )

lastly, if I were to wire my new construction house, all cabling pathways would be REQUIRED to be in J-Hooks. No staples, not laying on roof insulation, no mounds of rat nested cables knots, 5 feet of slack left over at the faceplate terminations, 5 feet slack service coil near the patch panel...

The main thing is just not to let them do anything too stupid when it comes to routing their wires. You also need to be aware of spaces that are reserved for plumbing, ductwork, or electrical on the blue prints if the other trades aren't already done. If other trades are done, you'll want to...

hello all .. I am a newbie when I come to home security. I am building a new house and running wires through the walls to have everything wired. Cat6 solid utp is what the vendor provides. I am trying to figure out where all to put drops for the video cameras around the house and what cameras to...

Hi and welcome @omyliver Over cable. You have imho too few drops. Also, plan for internal networking drops at this time. Front door - plan for BOTH a doorbell product and a mini-dome wedge at face level. ( door bells are normally mounted too low imho for those to press the key, and you want a...

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone could help. Purchasing a new construction and I am planning for a camera system. I came up with this layout and wanted to get advice on if this is any good. The placements are marked with green squares. I don't have one set for the front door because I'll have...

Lol, yup got all the product info and went over all details of the location of all the proposed sensors. They said their new command system is nothing like their previous systems of the past. If you have experience with it, by all means, please give your input. They assured their hardwired...

If the sensors are zwave they are wireless. Get some bids for an alarm prewire for new construction from several other companies. These all-in-one touchscreen alarm systems typically have no or very limited support for hardwired zones. In some cases there may be devices that can connect wired...

I wouldn't choose the garage as a cable termination point. Especially not in new construction. (Garages have fire rated walls and ceilings )

Random thoughts: There are no such things as "safe" neighborhoods. First thing you need is a good monitored alarm system for the house. Cameras are mostly like cops, they are helpful after the fact. When seconds count, the police are minutes away. Find a local NRA instructor and you and your...

Hi all, my name is Mike, and I'm brand new to the world of IP cameras. I have vaguely considered putting in CCTV for the past year, but didn't get serious until recently. This time last year, my wife and I were getting ready to welcome our first child into the home. My wife planned to stay home...

You might want to look at this thread: I want the best Dahua It has quite a bit of information on cabling in new construction.

Have you ever terminated Ethernet or Coaxial cable before? Installed alarm sensors? Speaker wiring? Here are some good videos on networking Here are a couple of useful websites: Structured Wiring Overview Structured Wiring - How To - wire your own home network, video and telephone It is...

Perfect, Thank you.

Hi @nakashima There's a number of options. At this point TEST the positions you are considering, remember to pay attention to future light fixutres... see this Light fixture causing washout (photo) Depending on the construction, I would consider: For a new construction, especially due to...

My home is just past the framing stage and the electrician just finished up. I will be running my low voltage wires for the cameras very soon. I just have one question. When i run the wire to the exterior of the home, how do I terminate the end considering I won't be installing the cameras until...

That VIVOTEK tool link fails. This is new construction so, not sure if the site (mentioned in cliff notes) would work being that gmaps etc., are not updated. Perhaps my description of location is wrong. Imagine you pull up on a driveway and garage doors are on your right. Little further...

Well I did find something, I logged on to my cam itself and checked to see if the sub stream was enabled. It was enabled however I went to video-->setup-->snapshot and saw it stays at the mainstream resolution. If I went back to the mainstream video settings and turned it down to 720p, the...
