    Outdoor PoE cam install and wiring question

    only downside about using these dahua ones is they only have 1 hole. if they had 2 holes opposite from each other, i would have probably bought these. But since im looking to run them inline O--------O--------O---------O kind of way, it wouldnt work :( sad face again. back to HD/Lowes it is Lol

    Outdoor PoE cam install and wiring question

    yeah.. i was really hesitant about that idea when someone on the thread suggested it. I had saw other amcrest ones or dahua ones were like in the mid 20s each. HD/Lowes is like little under 7 bux each non-metallic, more for the metal one
