    Camera placement

    @samplenhold Great way to test cameras and locations! Question- I'm located in the USA, is that a standard or metric socket inside your plastic container?

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

    If I were redoing my home, then I would use 6a, but the 5e is currently doing well. I hope my 10/100 cameras don't push the limits of the cat 6 :) I was seated when I googled the Levitron connectors price, since we have their panel, and being seated did not help. Purchased True Cable's...

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

    $156/500ft The cat 6a shielded 1000ft was $255, but too many reviews of needing "special" connectors due to cable diameter, and the "stiffness" of the cable was a concern, since I am not doing a new construction install. Question; What RJ45 connectors would people recommend, or should I stay...

    Is the NEW Dahua Mini-PTZ 52C432GBNR better than the SD4A425DB-HNY?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Quick shot from driveway with MiniPTZ location seen (red). I am also having our Color4K-T180 mounted in the center above the garage door(red). The blue line above the large front window is tentative location Color4K-T (if wife approves).

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I took a photo and mark with red the approximate wall location I was hoping to place the MiniPTZ. B&H $92 Oh My! I think they saw duplo's post and jacked-up the price. Edit: I want to put our Color4K-T above the large window (pfb203 approx 7ft) but my wife "needs to think about that location".

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    "the PFB211W and the ptz next to each other but not fully assemble together yet." That is the explanation exactly, thank you! If the only issue is cutting/removing the piece for cable pass-through, then I will verify exactly what to order, then visit Andy's shop. Edit: Ugh, attempting to locate...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Reading the original PFB211W instructions, what is "Also this one need waterproof-cable-joint-kit , like PFB203W/PFB204W for 5442-series." and Is the gap observed in #23 pic normal?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    At least she approves of the cameras, and I don't feel dirty looking at the camera forum thinking "one day i can get a camera, too!" I want to put the PTZ on the front corner eave of our house, and I'm trying to keep the camera installations looking cohesive and fluid.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Your installation is so clean that my wife said this is the only mount she approves of using for our MiniPTZ. Andy's store has the PFB203W mounts for my Color4k-T180s and Color4K-T, and the mount you used would match perfectly. Does anyone know if there are any mounts for this camera that are...

    I verified that Andy has my email, since he sent my ticket numbers directly to me. I'm waiting patiently for my email, unlike some eager beaver line cutters ;) Edit: I received the emails! I'm just poking at you because you said 14 cameras, then bought 20!

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    "ass crack high"? Terrorized by roaming plumbers :) I followed your T180 saga, which was one of the reasons I bought two for our home, so thank you.

    Color4K-T and (T180) Wall Bracket

    It's Andy's ad/web that state PFB203w, I foolishly listened to "The Internet". Funny how amazon really pushed the 205 which is $30, instead of the $20 203. Clerical mistake I'm sure.

    I need to buy three PFB203W mounts for my new Color4K-T and two Color4K-T180s. How many tickets will I get for the mounts? :lmao:

    Color4K-T and (T180) Wall Bracket

    I understand that 203 is recommended, yet amazon has the PFB205 listed as bought together, weird.

    Color4K-T and (T180) Wall Bracket

    Is the PFB203 wall bracket the recommended mount? Attempting to have a clean look on the exterior of the house. I understand that the hole pattern appears different between brackets, but found three separate brackets listed for the cameras -PFB203 -PFB204 -PFB205W-E

    Thank You, Andy! My experiences regarding purchases from Andy's Fall Sale have all been great. I purchased directly from his web store. The cameras were at my door in less than 36hrs! Now my wife is asking why I had them shipped so fast, and am I installing them today? @AzN_NiNjA01 You said you...

    Viewing Camera outside of my network without portforwarding.

    I use the VPN on my router to access my LAN. I setup OpenVPN and WireGuard for redundancy. The RPi using PiVPN (OpenVPN) is used as a backup/another access to LAN. I do not use a vpn on my nas. I plan on storing video on camera AND with surveillance station. The moment you get your vpn setup...

    Viewing Camera outside of my network without portforwarding.

    @Onlooker777 IMHO the use of all the Norton products could/should be reduced significantly! I use OpenVPN and Wireguard on a Pi4 and on my router without any problems. After reading this thread, my question is " why haven't you tried Synology's VPN"? Edit Synology has OpenVPN in DSM 7, and I was...
