    Want to mount Dahua Turret under slanted eave...

    you can rotate the turret within its mount to pretty much any angle. shouldnt need this. doesnt matter if mount is slanted if you rotate camera to level.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    either of the above would work -^ I have a 24 port non-poe with injector, so dont have my own recommendation for a poe switch...Just consider that you may one day want more cameras, so think carefully before going with only 8 ports. This is what I bought: Amazon.com: Cisco SF300-24 24-Port...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    This is a good case to not use a POE NVR. Get a standard NVR, separate switch, and separate POE injector. Might be a bit more money up front, but it makes accessing the cams directly much easier AND if any part goes bad, you only have to replace that bit, not the whole NVR. Three different...

    im sure you can setup your network however you feel comfortable. nayr just points out that wifi isnt rock solid. but if you think your extender is solid enough for your needs, go for it.

    Really wish people would just shut up about purchasing comments in here. Go to PM or piss off. Mods should just delete the posts and be done with it. See no need to entertain those entitled babies. edit: got my spanking. sorry for the additional clutter.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    This cam barely uses any power. Any POE switch or injector will work the follows the standard listed below.

    Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS)

    Maybe no big deal, but also pointless. You're just going to have to add more equipment on the camera end to force the usage of that external power. Why would you want to buy a converter box for each camera? Just use POE!

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    What is the power output per port and overall max of the 16p model? Can't seem to find the info in specs. I know most recommend getting a separate switch, but I'm trying to budget all options. Thanks!

    nayr's home automation build out...

    Cool updates. Some questions: 1. I understand the need for most of your tripwires, but what do you use the ones on the middle-left picture for, LPR? Does that wide camera alarm and trigger a different zoomed-in camera? 2. What are the green boxes middle-right?
