Hey Fenderman, Thanks once again for your input. I'm using Platinum tools' EZ-RJ45 connectors, made for their tool. Not sure about the band cable (I'm not at home right now). What brand / type of RJ45's are made for the solid cable? (i.e. have 3 prongs instead of 2).... At least in my...

DaveP....thanks for input. I'm thinking maybe 3 cameras outside; 2 of those at 3mp to help ID any vehicles along the access road which is 100 to 130 ft away, depending on camera location. I can drop to 1.3 or 2.0 mp on the remaining cameras and come up w a less demanding BW requirement.

Thanks for the reply Blake. I ll check it out.

I'm a newbie and this is a great forum btw.... I have small place in a rural location about 400 miles from "home". I had an attempted break in last week in broad daylight; luckily my neighbor (about 1/4 away) just happened to notice a truck at my place and went to investigate. The 4 would...
