How do you protect your cameras from storms?

[Chase]

I'm talking lightning storms in the area. Is a dedicated surge protector with your NVR and a dedicated surge protector with your POE Switch enough?

Now a direct hit to the camera is a different story, obviously.

How do you guys protect your system?

ground everything

Use an excellent noise/surge-filtering power center like the Tripp-Lite Isobar to power your POE network switches.

I use smaller POE switches that have SPF uplinks and connect them back with fibre.
If something takes a hit, damage is limited to a handful of cameras.

Also earth everything.

Do you need to ground for indoors?

Always good to have it, just in case something shorts out.

I use these standalone ethernet surge protectors - Amazon.com: APC PNET1GB ProtectNet Standalone Surge Protector for 10/100/1000 Base - T Ethernet Lines: Home Audio & Theater

This is also a great option as well: Ubiquiti Networks Ethernet Surge Protector ETH-SP B&H Photo

I had a lightning strike through my cable line. Fried 1 ethernet port on each of my devices. Modem, Router and NVR. Oddity is the NVR port still sends power but no video.
