    camera suggestion for web cam with advertising

    I am working toward installing a web cam for the purposes of selling advertising. We had one at this location a few years ago but took it down. Still have the original camera but it's old technology and really needs an update. The camera will be mounted to an antenna mast and fairly high up so...

    relative humidity a problem?

    In checking the specs on most of the cameras they list relative humidity as needing to be below 90%. Often the relative humidity here is above that and for extended periods of time. Does anyone have experience with them in high humidity environments? In the summer we're at 90+ on the temps and...

    If I don't yet have an nvr and I install a memory card in the camera what kind of recording capacity does it offer? Is it accessible through the phone app?

    I bought two today also, and a first time user for Ali. Hopefully it won't take too long. Let me know when you get yours.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    @EMPIRETECANDY Hey Andy was checking your Ali site and it shows no stock on the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE do your know when you'll have some? OK, looks like there is a different link for this camera than shown in the post above. They show in stock at this location (though a few dollars more): IPC...

    Also need some thoughts on a camera to get. Since first beginning this thread technology has certainly improved. Prices may be about the same, but camera quality is much better. The one I've been eyeing is the SD49225T-HN or the the SD59225U-HN. I'm going to need something that will provide long...

    I found this wire calculator that shows what bundles of small size wire can equal. I've got four pair of 22awg, in two cables. I could bundle all four out of each cable, one for hot and one from neutral, but I'd still need a ground. Wire Combination Calculator

    Has anyone tried using a buck boost transformer on long wire runs like this? Seems like this would be a good application. The load will be fairly constant. Wondering what kind of power range the power supplies for these type cameras need?

    Long distance camera install guidance

    Well, I'm back. It's been two years and I still haven't done this install. But looks like this time we're going to have to follow through and get'er done. Wife had a bit of a scare last week. Driveway sensor went off during the day, she was home by herself. It was not at a time when the UPS man...

    The POE transformer I'm guessing is 120VAC, so am I going to have to run that to the camera so I can plug in a wall wart? I was hoping I might be able to run some kind of direct power line without having a wall wart on the camera end. If I've got to run 120VAC that far it's going to need to be a...

    No gate, and according to my UPS man I shouldn't consider one. Apparently a number of his deliveries are to people with gates and they are constantly breaking down. Mainly due to lighting. In my case a gate would be easy to go around. As it is, my sensor is fairly well hidden so incoming...

    that 30x ptz is nice, pricey but nice. Probably could get by with a 10x or 20x and it mentions that the lower zoom is better for night viewing which is important.

    OK, I think the fiber is the way to go. I can probably run the last section of conduit right next to a fence line and not actually have to bury it if the rock situation is a problem. With regard to the camera: Don't really need a ptz. The area I want to monitor will be about 1100 ft. and...

    I was looking at those earlier today! Fiber is probably the way to go. I'm on a hill and have had trouble with lightening. I used to have a wired driveway sensor it it was zapped twice by lightening. I"m thinking the fiber should minimize that. I found some pre terminated fiber already set up...

    I was afraid of that. I actually have conduit buried for all but one 270' feet so it shouldn't be too much trouble. I guess I need to know if what I want to do is possible, and if so what kind of hardware would work best. Then I can put in whatever wire is necessary.

    I have a rather long driveway and would like to view vehicles as they approach. Driveway is about 2400 ft. Currently I have a wireless sensor set at the end of the drive and am notified as a vehicle passes, but don't have any way to view. There's a pole about 1000' from the house and this is...
