    They did power trench from shop to house today. I will also put a 2” conduit in there exclusively for the dsl/century link cable from road to shop to house. I will also need conduit for: (1) cameras from shop to house (8 at most), (2) gate camera (450-500ft to house/network room), (3) gate...

    I want the best Dahua

    Electrical work comes easy to me for some reason. I wired my shop and wiring my house. I also “wired” my camera system, but that was as simple as pulling wire through studs and connecting to the receiver. Networking has always been my Achilles heal. Not sure why but I can’t really seem to grasp...

    @tangent I didn’t mean solid copper vs cca. I meant solid vs stranded. Stranded Solid Driveway might be 200-300ft long. Less from the hill that worries me. Here are a few pictures of the shop, the house and the driveway. First one are 2 cameras that I want to keep from the shop. One points...

    @tangent thanks for your valuable suggestions. I did, indeed want a gate/intercom and a camera. It’s a long driveway so it will be some money trenching and running conduit. I had been looking at solar gate openers. But I have a feeling you will recommend something different and better. Security...

    Walls are up, we are dried in. Installing siding currently. I’m doing the electric myself so currently pulling lots of wire. Same for speaker wires. I have around 3 weeks before I insulate, which i’ll Do myself as well, so I have some time to plan this out. Let me get some pictures on imgur and...

    TYVM @mat200 . I will watch that video now. I have a pretty good sense of where to put the cameras due to 3 years watching footage of current cameras and things I wished I would’ve done differently. I’d like to know which cable to run, though. Ethernet the way to go these days?

    I want the best Dahua

    Thx @tangent for your reply. So these days cameras are powered via Ethernet cables and not via the Siamese cables that have one for power and one for video? I mount my cameras to studs through siding. The cameras on my shop are holding strong this way. Then I run cable from behind by drilling...

    I want the best Dahua

    I’m building a new house and I'm overwhelmed. Between electric, insulation, sound system, HVAC, wood stoves, etc I’m drinking every day starting around 9:30am. I’m hoping to catch a break and saving some time and headache when it comes to security cameras. Currently running an amcrest system...
