Hello,
I posted on the New Members Introduction section but in hindsight that was not the right place for this post.
I bought a small cabin in the mountains and I would like to put together a small system for peace of mind.
This is what I'm thinking:
I understand these cameras are considered budget cameras, but after some reading I'm ok with the price/value ratio.
When it comes to run the ethernet cables, I would have to do it externally - crawling space + walls + eaves
Do you see a problem running regular cat6 inside a hard conduit? (pvc or metal) Or should I only consider outdoor rated ethernet cable?
Thanks in advance!

I bought a small cabin in the mountains and I would like to put together a small system for peace of mind.
This is what I'm thinking:
- Buy 1 varifocal camera and use it to calculate fov for the rest (HDW2231R-ZS)
- Buy 3 (IPC-T2431T-AS) in either 2.8 or 3.6 depending on the initial tests.
- Optiplex 3020 (i5-4590) with BlueIris. This pc has 16gb but I’m also planning to run a hyper-v and a vm with HomeAssistant and a few other containers for automation.
- I haven’t decided on the switch yet but I’m considering the ubiquiti us-8-60w or the netgear gs108pp.
