I don't like windows for security anything. If you like it I am fine with you making your choice and I won't insult you for it...

    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    I am not familiar with iris and I personally would never run a camera security system on any windows platform. I like dedicated nvr systems running Linux. Security is better and if you get the right one you get good processing power that can provide maximum resolution on all channels. Some...

    Help with cable run layout?

    I really like TAPCONS since I started using them You don't need an anchor just drill and screw them in with an electric impact driver. - they work for me better than anchors and screws. You can get them in many sizes. I get them at LOWES. More expensive then plastic anchors but they hold. You...

    Help with cable run layout?

    I am not familiar enough with it, as long as it is copper and not copper clad aluminum it will probably be fine but I have never used it so I cannot say.

    Trying to Idnetify an unbranded camera

    You mean SADP does not see the camera? That is strange... then you can try other network scanning open source software. There are several that can get the ip and the Mac but I prefer SADP because it can see devices that are not on the same subnet your pc is on. If you don’t know the up address...

    New home pre wire for outside cameras -Help

    One poster said make sure don’t use CCA , Copper clad aluminum. He is absolutely right. It’s a lot cheaper and a very bad choice. Stay with solid or stranded copper. Also, last time I checked cat 5e and 6 have the same identical specs. Only difference is 6 was tested . Are you going to put this...

    Help with cable run layout?

    NO, not for network cable because you don't want the sharp bend but leave as much loose slack inside Lb as you can so you can easily pull back if you want but the runs you are making really are not long enough to be concerened. You can easily pry the wires up if you need to pull them back out...

    Deterioration in sunlight, metal provides shielding , Far more durable. You will want to clamp plastic at least every 6 feet or closer. The sky won't fall if you use PVC.

    Anyone Running Cat6 Cable & Mains in Parallel

    Good your doing it right. Shielded cable may provide a little benefit but I would not bother unless you have a problem. Too many people are trying to tell other people to take precautions they themselves won' t bother with when they want to try something. If its in conduit YOU DON'T NEED...
