Thank you everyone for the great tips/feedback! It has been very helpful in thinking through the best way to approach things. After doing some additional testing last night I am inclined to forgo a little bit of perspective in order to place the camera at door frame height (slightly below) in...

Does a doorbell camera cover either of those scenarios or is a doorbell camera more of an additional/supplementary camera? Because I also have a PoE doorbell going in which is on that left wall if you are facing the door.

On the left side of the door you are saying? Yeah it would definitely be cleaner/less noticeable, but I will lose a little bit of the approach because of the wall/vantage point. It may still be a good option though, as soon as the person turns the corner and sees the front door we should get an...

Unfortunately it is a 2 story house so there is a floor above with no direct access, just the garage (and attic above the garage) which is why the line is coming from the left. The installer is coming on Wednesday to run the cat6 so I can discuss with him, maybe there is some way it could be...

Just wanted to follow up here as I have been giving this more thought. This is what I am currently thinking. Either running conduit as in the below picture, or maybe just bare cat6 as long as I have a proper drip loop and everything else weatherproofed appropriately. Am I on the right track...

Hey everyone, So I will be installing an IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 on my front porch (disregard the camera currently installed) and have a few questions regarding placement, junction box orientation, etc. For context I also have an overview camera that can see my whole front yard and beginning of...

Sounds good, thanks! I was doing some more reading a found some posts on this forum as well as several on Reddit that are making me second guess my decision to run copper outside/underground around my house due to electrical interference, lightning, etc. As I live in Florida and we get our share...

Got it, will do! Do you know if the conduit needs to be a "more or less" closed system? I.e. using elbow joints around corners etc. so that the entire pipe is sealed other than the beginning/end? Or is the primary reason to avoid physical damage like accidentally cutting it with a shovel in...

Thanks everyone!

Hi All! New member from Florida here! Want to start off by thanking everyone who contributes to this forum, I have found it to be a wealth of information over the last couple of weeks. I am currently going through the process of designing and setting up a new security system for my home in...

Just wanted to follow up on this thread as I received an update from NX Witness support. Apparently it is a limitation of the Dahua API where it passes the metadata over the event notification message instead of using the streaming protocol. This means that a rule must be configured in the...

Hello everyone, New here, just getting in to the world of IP cameras and have already learned so much following this community, so thank you! I'm not sure if this post should live here or somewhere else but figured I would start here. I have an EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T flashed with the latest...
