I use the pass-through connectors. I really like them.
The great move…
- Thread starter JNDATHP
- Start date
I suffer from neuropathy in my feet and hands so it took a little longer today to terminate the Cat 5e. Without pass-throughs I don’t know if I would have gotten so far.
Making progress…Waiting for more PFB203 mounts.

Do you have a load of goodies coming in from Andy? I also understand that you are going to automate with Z-Wave tech.
Andy is my little friend (said in the best Scarface voice). Bunches of goodies arrived and they are being installed.
HomeSeer 4 will be deployed as well.
Today’s accomplishments include all Ethernet cables terminated and tested. All but one camera configured and switch configured.
Yup, there are 12 cameras including a ZE for LPR so I can go down that rabbit hole…

How are you mounting your Unifi router and switch? Are you installing a rack in or putting them in the cabinet?
Yesterday was a much needed day of rest. Today we hit it running, well I was walking-ish and Stanley was off to the races.
All cameras are now mounted and in Blue Iris. Zoom, FOV, etc. needs tinkering with but a great accomplishment. Remember, I had the unwanted holes from the previous owners’ Lorex analog cameras so some of the heights are not ideal but will do.
This is Stanley, my friend from Reno, who took the whole month off to help us move and get settled.
Eleven 5442s installed around the house.
Here is one of our BI displays.

Looks great! And Reno is a friend we should all have! My friends disappear as soon as they hear the word 'moving'! lol
They usually come around with the promise of some beer and pizza, though.
Yes, we are extremely blessed having Stanley in our lives. Just two years separate us; I am the older at 61 but there is no way I can get up on ladders any more. I have a rough time just walking sometimes. Oh well, beats the alternative.

Sorry, Stanely from Reno. lol
Life can throw us some curveballs and we just need to learn how to adapt. I can't really do ladders over 6 feet due to various concussions I've suffered. I have vertigo where as I didn't before. So I don't and let my friend help me or pay someone. It is what it is.
congrats on the move! This was my escape from southern California almost 6 years ago...
I zip-tied some deer antlers to the front of the uhaul... LOL.
The mistake I made on this was with my little pickup-- I put way too much weight in the truck bed and did not have a balanced load on the trailer-- I had a sway issue right away. I kept my speed low, and eventually made a stop & bought about 8 bags of softener salt to put on the tongue end of the trailer to balance out the load. That worked.
Left at about 6PM on a Tuesday, about 24 hours later we rolled up to Independence Rock near Casper Wyoming.
It took about 15 more hours to go from Casper to Pierre SD, but that included a ~4 hr nap in the truck.
One of the most satisfying things is opening that u-haul door in my driveway at my home...

Took Stanley to the airport this morning. Sorry to see him leave.
One more piece of equipment for the rack and then I’ll take a couple of pics.

I wouldn't say no to the help! But my friend is a bit nuts. I can't watch him on a ladder as my heart is in my throat the entire time.
Finally got all the hardware installed. I balanced some of the cameras so that the overlapping views of one camera is on one switch and it’s counterpart is on another.
Things are getting organized and we’re starting to settle in. Got the big screen TV mounted and have UI3 loaded. Was nice to have while we had breakfast outside.
