I’ve been reading through your review quite a bit. Just posted on that thread. I have a 4w Tendelux that I bought last year. Just bought one of these 10w versions to compare. May get a 20w also, depending on what I see once installed and running. Thanks for the heads up!! Sent from my iPhone...

My original plan was to use the splitter and ONLY power the IR with that. I’d have 2 Ethernet runs to the location, 1 for the camera and 1 for the IR light. After a bit more reading and education on my part, I’m going to run to 16/2 wire to each location I plan to place an IR. I was originally...

I have one of the 4 watt Tendelux models and just bought one of the new 10 watt versions. Still working on installing everything (cameras included). Do you have any pics with the 20w versions? I’d be interested to see how much 2 of the 20w IR’s light things up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One more question. If I end up not powering via POE and run a 16/2 or 18/2 wire, are there any issues running those low voltage wires in the same conduit as my Ethernet from the attic to the basement? I know running the Ethernet next to standard 110v lines can cause issues. I do have multiple...

I’m planning to run some IR illuminators around the house. We have no street lights and it can get quite dark. I was planning on installing the illuminator on the eave. What is everyone else doing? I’ve attached my camera mounts (pfa-130) to aluminum stock and tucked those in the eaves. Should I...

Thank you for your input. Greatly appreciate it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I initially posted at the end of June about input on different camera locations. Here is that link: https://ipcamtalk.com/index.php?threads/Camera-Placement-Questions.57273/ Well, unfortunately, life got in the way and I wasn’t able to install anything. Have I mentioned how hot an attic gets...

What UPS does everyone like? In my searching here, I see mostly APC and CyberPower recommended, with what seems like more issues reported with CyberPower. Basically, is there a reason to go for a rack mounted UPS vs a free standing model, especially when an equivalent rack mount model is...

Here’s a couple pics of the house if that will help. Front-right Front-left Rear-deck Garage-entry door. This is the one that’s a bit tricky. Whether a wedge or turret low, one in the garage looking at that door or both? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your input. Sorry, I guess I did post a small book for a question….[emoji23][emoji23]. I guess you could say I’m getting excited to finally start testing everything out. The 2 trees in the front yard should be far enough north of the driveway and the corner I’d be mounting that it...

Any thoughts? Thanks! Erick

Hello all! First, I wanted to thank everyone for their help with my questions thus far. The expertise and willingness to help on this site is amazing and greatly appreciated. I ordered my first camera today, an IPC-T5442T-ZE. My plan is to use a test rig (like mentioned many times here) and...

Thanks. Right now, I’m leaning towards the managed route to give me the option to learn in the future, but don’t want to try to tackle a vlan just yet, thus the idea for a second NIC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I posted a few weeks back about a computer recommendation. While the specific one I posted about went higher on eBay than I was willing to go, I did finally get an HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF i7-6700, with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro. Just need to get a WD Purple and a second NIC and I...

Based on what I’m seeing, it’s the 8500, not the 8500t. You are correct, the WD Purple drives are 3.5”. I was just saying there is room to expand slightly if needed, with the 2 3.5” bays, not that they’d go in the 2.5” slot. Apologies if I wasn’t clear (very possible as I’ve been either on calls...

The specs show 1-2.5” internal bay and 2-3.5” internal bays. The 2-3.5 bays should cover 2 HDD’s correct? https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06047207#AbT10 Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you both. I did forget to include that I would add a WD Purple HDD, probably 4TB. I have not seen deepstack, so I will need to research that. I appreciate the feedback.

Annnnd... I realized I probably need to give more computer info.... HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF, 256GB SDD, 32GB RAM, i5-8500 Thanks Erick

Hello! Quick question. I'm in the process of setting up a camera system for the first time. I've been reading through this site for a while now and am now ready to pull the trigger. I've read the Wiki multiple times and have a decent idea of where I'm going to go with things. My plan now...
