    Dahua NVR One Cable, Two IP cameras

    I’m just about finished with installing and fine tuning my system. Sadly, it would be extraordinarily difficult to get a second cable ran to two areas where I need two cameras, so I’m looking for suggestions on how to go about running two POE cameras to my NVR. I purchased the Dahua splitters...

    If NVR is primary storage, what is secondary?

    Well, I disappoint myself more and more as I continue getting my Dahua NVR and camera up and running. I made the assumption that the Dahua cloud allowed for video streaming of “x” amount of video storage monthly with the old rewriting the new, paying “x” amount of dollars monthly for the...

    Weatherproof Inground Cable Boxes?

    Hi all. Is anyone aware of boxes that can be buried or at least flush with the ground, easily accessible from the top, and strong enough to withstand driving a mower or side by side over? Going to be running Ethernet cables and will be housing connections in here. Thanks!

    Installing cameras far from the home on outbuildings

    What’s the best approach for installing cameras on barns and outbuildings when they are between 350-450 feet away from the house? Ideally, I would like to get around 4-5 down there. All cameras at the house will be hardwired with PoE if that influences the decision.

    New Camera System Install

    I posted here several months ago. Have done a bit more research since then and tried to find individuals who have more knowledge than I do on system set ups. We built our home two years ago and had the electrician hardwire 11 individual CAT5 wires to predetermined locations. Hindsight is 20/20...

    Help with a hard wired outdoor camera system

    Hello all! I was referred here by another forum. I’ve done a lot of reading but sadly there is a mental block between me and everything IT/tech, so I appreciate the support and elementary explanations. We built our home last year, and during the process, we had our electrician run (11) CAT 5...
