    How to determine if my ethernet cable is bad?

    Alright everyone, per recommendation above and even though I tested it, it was the camera side connection. I replaced the end and it now functions as expected. I appreciate everyone's assistance here and it goes to show, you can't always trust a cable tester...

    How to determine if my ethernet cable is bad?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will put on a new end on the camera side first. At this point, if that doesn't work I will probably re-examine the line for any kinks. If I do find a 'bad' kink, will it be sufficient to use a female to female coupler and cut the kink out? (Ex. Revo RJ45...

    How to determine if my ethernet cable is bad?

    Yeah, I just didn't do that side because I was able to test it with the cable tester this morning and it checked out. My cable tester blinks green in sync on both sides. I will reinspect the cable later today again prior to ripping it out.

This is my private home and I’m upgrading from Arlo’s to an IP system for the first time. I purchased both the faceplate and a PoE switch...

    Running x8 Wires to the NVR from the Attic

    Hi all, I have an AvertX 16 Channel with 8 Cameras from Costco arriving this weekend. My question to you all is, how did you manage to run all your cable to the NVR? It’s going to be located in my office and I was thinking of installing a 12-Port faceplate then running a short length cable to...
