@hmjgriffon Hello, do I need just this Z-Wave Plus® Door/Window Sensor, NO LOGO - Monoprice.com Or do I need other hardware? I presume I will need some sort of alerting device, if the z-wave trigger is signaled? I know nothing about Z Wave Thank you TPW

Hello, It seems that there were several attempted mailbox thefts and maybe more down the street where I reside last night. I do not have cameras setup at the front gate yet @fenderman @nayr @hmjgriffon @Kawboy12R and want to do it right. I have a LTS/Hikvision NVR but can purchase a new NVR...

Thank you, I passed on the camera thanks to your advice

Hello, I have a Hikvision compatible NVR (LTS) and am looking to add some cameras to it. I came across this deal and am wondering if this is a decent camera at a good price? Hikvision 4MP IP Camera DS-2CD2145F-IS H.265 IP POE Outdoor Dome Camera Waterproof Vandal-proof Webcam 1080P 4MM Lens...

@tangent The runs are about 300 ft or maybe 350 ft for one run and then about 200ft for the other run. I was planning to connect the cameras using a 12v AC to DC adaptor instead of trying to power them via PoE because I believe that is more stable than trying to deal with PoE. What do you...

Thank you all. Do you know if these clips will work with CAT6 wire (the wire I have). Platinum Tools® | Products | Connectors | 106140 Platinum Tools 106153J RJ-45 (8P8C). Round-Solid, 3 Prong. 100 pc. Jar I have some of these connectors, would these work? many thanks, TPW

Hello and good morning, My relatives have put the CAT 6 wire in the conduit and buried it. Unfortunately they used not so good wire, i.e. they used wire from the local hardware store Southwire 1000 ft. Blue 23/4 CAT6 Riser CMR Cable-56918949 - The Home Depot Unfortunately, it is already in...

Is this one option to get power and communicate with the router? Unfortunately, I do have trees on site. 1. Plug one end of your 300' & 500' cable into your router. 2. Plug the other end of the 300' cable into one of the camers. 3. Plug the other end of your 500' cable into a small unmanaged...

There is regular 110-120v power available throughout the run, does this help? I just want to power my cameras :) Should I not even bother with the CAT 6 and go some other route? I am so confused now

@nayr how about any of these for the PoE+ extender Amazon.com: BV-Tech Single Port Gigabit POE+ Extender – Extend 330ft (100m) – 802.3af/at – POE-RP101G: Electronics or Amazon.com: StarTech.com 1 Port Gigabit PoE+ Extender 802.3at & 802.3af - 100m (330ft) - Power over Ethernet Extender - PoE...

@nayr I will have electricity (120v) at the spot where I am installing the switch/router, so should I go with a router instead of this more expensive PoE switch? I plan to use PTZ cameras at the end of the cables, so I will need a PoE+ switch... any advice? I also need some good PTZ cameras...

@nayr thank you. let me see if I can find a journeyman not sure but I can try Is the PoE extender something like this Microsemi PD-PoE-Extender Power Over Ethernet Extender - Newegg.com in which I would connect one end of the CAT 6 to one end and the other end of the CAT 6 to the other end...

Thank you @nayr @DavidDavid Would I need this sort of fiber Amazon.com: 1000ft (1000 feet) Bulk Fiber Optic Cable Singlemode Duplex (9/125) 300 Meter: Computers & Accessories what spec will I need? 9/125? I know nothing about this type of wire!! If I do manage to install fiber, will it...

would some hardware like this work Amazon.com: TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Desktop Metal Housing Switch, TEG-S50g: Electronics

Someone told me I should use fiber instead of CAT 6, how would that work?

@DavidDavid so a basic wi fi router can also work as a switch? then is it better to spend $50 on a wi-fi router, rather than a switch? Yes it will be in the field, :) I don't want to deal with CL, too much time and scams for too little savings for this sort of product. Thank you

Oh gosh why is that? Is it not good to run 120v and CAT-6 in the same conduit? or is it detrimental? Do you know of any good switch that is reasonably priced that I can buy on Amazon or in a big box store? Thank you TPW

Hey, I am running CAT 6 wire in my property, in a conduit, to different locations within the property. One of the runs is about 400 or 500 ft and the other run is about 300 ft. I will be connecting IP Cams at the end of these runs, at the fences of my property. I am not that smart on IP...

Hey, I am looking for some Hikvision IP cameras to add to my LTS NVR. The home at which I live at is pretty dark outside, and large. I want to get some of these: i) PTZs that can function well in the dark and outdoors ii) A camera that I can put about 20 feet above my main door, as a...
