Like every other rookie on here, I am trying to soak up the wisdom from all members. Rather than learn stuff the hard way, I will take full advantage of previous trial and errors. Almost complete with building my home, with pre-installed wire to the specs in the cliff notes (thanks!). Looking to install 4-6 cameras on the main house and another 4-6 in the horse barn. Horse barn will be run back to the "main hub" via underground wire. All wires are run from crawlspace of home into 2 dedicated "network" closets. This also prevents the clowns at the cable company from drilling through my water main (unfortunate true story).
Where I am really going to lean on the wisdom from this group is the unique situation I have. We built on 30 acres, with a 4000 ft driveway that is shared with my in-laws future home, my home and the barn. So I have to decide where to start my video feed (LPR) and where to start detecting people at the house. I am in the security business, but I stick mainly to Intrusion Detection using hard wired systems, not many cameras in my world.
