    CAT5e ok for cams?

    CAT5e it is then. Is the jacket on cable that is CMR more tear resistance? I know it's a fire rating. I could see a need for CAT6 with all the cams being 4k maybe? I have a outside POE switch that all my cams run to that are outdoors then a single cat5e cable runs into the house to my switch...

    CAT5e ok for cams?

    I need to buy 1,000 ft of indoor cable should i buy CAT5e or 6? CAT6 seems like a waste since IP cams will never need 6? Suggestions?

    How to install Cameras in Vinyl Vented Soffit.

    Umm yeah that is what i have been doing.....but i guess you could leave out the gang box to make it easy. I have a hard time screwing in the 2x4 as there is no room and you can't get to it on the in side of the garage to many nails from the roof. I have been driving in a screw at a angle it's...

    How to install Cameras in Vinyl Vented Soffit.

    My garage has Vinyl Vented Soffit installed and each corner has a motion flood light. There is no wood above the Soffit to secure a camera to except the ends of the garage where the flood lights are installed. I installed one camera by cutting a 2x4 and installing it above the Soffit with a one...

    Dahua mounting options one gang box?

    It's just around my house not worried about a vandal the pigtails are in the gang box under a eave never had any issues over the past 20 years with them in there, It's just so much simpler to install in a one gang box. I did buy The extra junction box but it does not align with the two holes...

    Dahua mounting options one gang box?

Here is the video of what i am talking about camera model is IPC-T2431T-AS skip to 4:45 min in the...

    Is ColorVu any decent or more of a gimmick?

    Going by Dahua website the IPC-T5442TM-AS is at it's end of life? Is it still worth a buy or would i be better off buying whatever it's replacement is? https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/33357?us

    Is ColorVu any decent or more of a gimmick?

    That's almost a 2 to 1 price difference. How much of difference would you notice in the dark? Looks like it has a larger sensor and the IR distance is greater? BTW what dahua model is that? How do you know who makes what camera anyway.

    Is ColorVu any decent or more of a gimmick?

    I made the mistake of buying cameras with no IR in the day great picture but at night you see nothing un-less the flood light turns on but not every spot has one so i bought some IR lights and would still like to have them back on the camera itself. After searching i found this cam...

    Is ColorVu any decent or more of a gimmick?

    I guess i need a normal IR turret by the sounds of it. Any suggestions? Not sure how i feel about the led lights on a camera if you turn them off no color at night?

    Is ColorVu any decent or more of a gimmick?

    Been looking for a 2.8mm hikvision turret camera just wondering how good they are at night. It looks like all they do is use LED lights. I have LED motion lights so the LED would not benefit me in one case others it may. What is the best 2.8mm turret/eye for day and good night vision? I'm not...
