    Does the wiring pin out posted by the OP apply to the NH818 camera?

    Fiber to detached workshop options

    That was a great reference article thanks for taking the time to share with the forum members. As it relates to armoured fibre I wanted to call this out as we’ve seen a few cases where proper grounding wasn’t followed. ‍♂️ The vast majority of the general public just hear fibre - so it must...

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    1) I did some research and it seems that RJ45 plugs are the least reliable type of termination and accepted practices dictate to terminate the in-wall wiring at a punchdown, then use a patch cable from there. Yes. Ideally you do not want to minimize the movement of solid wires from the cat5e/6...

    System Upgrade Recommendations

    Yeah I already figured that. It's easy enough to crimp the connectors on. Just need to see if the other end is T568A or T568B first.

    System Upgrade Recommendations

    That wire definitely says Cat5e and the listed specs match normal cat5e specs, so you should be able to use that wire for other IP cameras in the future. However it sounds like you are going to need to re-terminate all of the ends because of the "unique" wiring job that you currently have. So...

    System Upgrade Recommendations

    I definitely agree with everything you said......especially the much to learn part. Two of my cameras that aren't protected have already started to fog up light car headlights. I didn't realize domes weren't good for outdoors. Like I said, I didn't install this system - it came with the house. I...

    System Upgrade Recommendations

    Much to learn you have.... Are you sure that it is truly Cat5E wiring? Some systems use "proprietary" wiring and won't run a true POE IP camera. My neighbor just found that out with his old Zmodo system that looked like it had ethernet wiring. Domes are not recommended outside unless it is...

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    Little by little I'm planning for my IP camera install and have another question. I did some research and it seems that RJ45 plugs are the least reliable type of termination and accepted practices dictate to terminate the in-wall wiring at a punchdown, then use a patch cable from there. I see...

    Waterproof Junction for 4 strings of POE?

    Lookup French drain ... I would take a home depot bucket and cut out the bottom .. French drain to one of the hole in the brick work .. put the bucket on top of that with smaller rocks .. thinking French drain bucket bottom .. and have the wiring at the top of that with the bucket there ...

    Network Setup - Questions about running multiple IPCs through a switch into 1 NVR port

    Hi everyone, I've attached a photo of what I'm trying to do, which includes the camera models and NVR model I'm working with: I'm wiring my IPCs myself. I have a plan to get three 3 of the cams into the front end of the house and into my network cabinet in the basement. I also have a plan to...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    I'm not sure I follow what you mean that "I'd hate to think of trying to do it without". Do you mean you would hate to think about mounting an external camera without a junction box? @Heavyopp - How do I know what bullet (for pfa121) and turrent (for pfa122) is compatible? Are any of the...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    The wiring tails for these cameras are very large and I struggled even to get them into a junction box. I'd hate to think of trying to do it without. I'd suggest mounting it onto a junction box for that reason. It doesn't add much to the camera visibly but will make your life a lot easier. Also...

    Review- IPC-WL46A 4MP 2.8mm Floodlight Wifi Network Camera

    I am in the US and still have mine. That is the same screen. Mine does find my 5G and actually prefers it. It will use the weaker 5G signal over the stronger 2.4G signal all the time. The camera itself does not have a filter by signal. It will just show whatever it can find. Just like any other...

    Requesting advice on new installation

    Welcome @folk Looks like you've done some good research already .. my quick take on this .. as you are in Norway, low light performance matters. Thus I would try the 8MP 1/1.2" or 4MP 1/1.8" sensor models .. and also, many of us do not like dome cameras outdoors due to UV / heat exposure. As...

    IP Camera with webserver - recommendations wanted

    I totally agree with your description of the problem. The only consumer priced camera I am now able to find that has a built in web server is made by amcrest. Yet even that is not great, because it won't work as a reverse proxy on my website like the older simple ip cams. Fortunately I have a...

    Question on changing a Motorized lens between 2 4mp cameras

    So I have a good many cameras. Back some time ago I bought a few cameras for a property in Az, I have since sold and removed all my devices from the property and wanted to get some feedback on an idea I have. So one camera is a 1/3 Cmos 4mp with an F1.4, 2.7-13.5mm Second camera is a 1/1.8...
