    Cable - CAT 5, CAT 6 CAT 7 or CAT 8 Too many to choose for a noob

    Ya, my runs are very easy, running from poking a hole in the soffit and then running thru the attic to a wall with a 3 inch hole for all the cables. :) I have built many cables before I just don't like doing them and trusting my work.

    Cable - CAT 5, CAT 6 CAT 7 or CAT 8 Too many to choose for a noob

    I agree, and that was the reason for the post, wanted to get what others have bought and know is good. I am not one to do terminations myself so hoping for some already pre-made cables I could purchase.

    I do not see CCA in any description and I do see Material】Flexible protective PVC jacket, 6.2mm cable diameter, and 23 AWG conductor gauge. Any good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YWMJTND/ref=ewc_pr_img_3?smid=AO9MIPGVNFFEB&th=1

    Cable - CAT 5, CAT 6 CAT 7 or CAT 8 Too many to choose for a noob

    Looking for suggestions of 100' run of cable with ends and waterproof connector on one end for an attic run? Too many to choose and I am lost at what CAT I should get for 5442s and the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL 4K 8MP ColorVu 180. Any help in providing suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    I love this site and all the help so quickly. I wish I found you all prior to the hours and months with The Hook up. I like the guys presentations but it sounds like he needs a bit more details in them. Those camera selections are all you wittaj and the videos the Wildcat_1 did. Thank you!

    Alternative to the Blue Iris mobile app

    Hi, Is there any alternative to the Blue Iris mobile app? I see it is $10 but also the complaints are huge, and very low rating. I need an app for my phone to see the cameras (when I get some and set them up) and get alerts\snapshots. Thanks in advance.

    Lost in the maze. Looking for help

    Thank you Mat, I think I will order 2 of 5442s as those will not be so high as the back yard is part hill so the cameras are about 10' high.
