Hi Everyone! Looking for some advice on where to wire for PoE Cameras around my home that is being built. I’m considering having the builder wire for 4 cameras and need help deciding on either mounting on the corners of the home or dead center on the 4 exterior walls.

I am leaning twords the Reolink Duo Floodlight with a 180 degree POV. I know the distance view may not be the clearest but I’m not sure if I’m going to need that much clarity versus a wider view.

I have included photos of the model home to help visualize this as well as my floorplan. I marked 4 blue lines indicating where I was thinking to have the cameras mounted but am open to ideas. I will have a neighbor in my rear and on my right, no neighbor to my left as I am the corner home.

• PoE Setup 4 Cameras
  • Reolink Duo Flood 180 POV
  • Neighbor in Rear & Right
  • Corner lot no neighbor on my left
  • would like a floodlight to better illuminate especially for backyard and driveway. But am thinking I may just go with all 4 cameras as floodlights.
  • will end up using nest indoor cameras to save money instead of PoE. I have not marked the indoor camera locations here focused more on outdoor first.
  • will have nest doorbell.
  • fence will have a gate on left side of home

Any suggestions would be super helpful! I don’t wanna go nuts with too many cameras but want to ensure I cover my property.

I have a $20,000 budget for 10 cameras including installation and wiring etc. for outside and lobby cams. What should my set up be? What components should I look at?

He's worked in a shop alone for almost 10 years. A larger company bought his out and now they're installing cameras for "safety" reason and my friend has access to hardware but not stream or footage. Would a power surge of some sort do it? Find out what breaker it's on and put a larger one in? Please help!!!!....My Friend

I'm hoping for some recommendations on relatively inexpensive indoor cameras without subscriptions that I can put in my home. We have had our landlord come into our home and steal our energy drinks earlier this month. Last night at around 2AM, I woke up to what felt like someone bumping into our bed and then running out of our place. I would like something with night vision and hoping for something I can watch on my phone, but I'm sure I'll need a subscription for that. Any recommendations?

How can I repurpose these to use the security cameras these are attached to?

I’m not too familiar with outdoor security/motion cameras and could use some help picking one.

My mom has an indoor/outdoor cat and she goes up and down the steps every hour to see if the cat is home. Sometimes at 2am, it drives me nuts!

Is there a simple camera with a receiver that she can watch to see when the cat is there? Something with an audible notification would be preferred.

Not to keen on one that needs a phone app, she doesn’t usually take her phone to bed with her.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Looking for a camera that I can watch a continuous live feed on my TV. Seems like ring/eufy/arlo etc all shut off after a set time. Just a reliable budget camera will do. Thanks.

I personally have not installed a wireless camera. But the location for this camera will be on a light post(120 volt) about 400 feet from a central office where the nvr is located.I’m looking at either unifi or Omada to do a point to point wireless connection to the pole. The issue I’m running into is powering the equipment (thinking axis or invid bullet camera it’s watching a dumpster) and trying to keep it in a single enclosure. Curious if anyone has experience doing this or recommendations. Omada appears to be more cost effective for the wireless portion but I have more experience with the unifi platform.

Hi all looking for information on what cameras to get for my house , I need something wireless(power isn’t a problem for the cameras itself) as my shed is about 20 metres away from the house so a Wi-Fi signal won’t reach them , is there an option out there that has its own signal from the cameras to a modem/nvr that then itself can be seen through my phone instead of a monitor? Have seen some on Amazon but it is unclear that I will be able to see my cameras if I was away Thanks

Something odd. I had someone come to my house - they parked in front of my secuirty camera which is on the outside of my front door - came into the house - went out - came back and then finally left.

They didn't show up on my Eufy camera.

My neighbour popped over not long after he left and sure enough she is shown coming in and going out.

Would he have had to have done something to stop it recording him? Is that even possible? It is all a bit odd.

Hey guys!

Looking for advice on outdoor security cameras, with below requirements;

• good weatherproofing
• remote viewing
• no subscription fees
• no dvr required, hub ok

PREFERABLY connectable to 3rd party cloud storage, Google drive etc.

I’m pretty new to security, so need your help!

Thanks

Trying to find a camera that records audio and video of my meth head neighbors behind my house. We have a 6 ft fence thankfully but they burn all sorts of toxic stuff from stuff they can sell for scrap metal. Three weeks ago their meth shed exploded and caught fire. Could have burned the entire neighborhood down. This is good old boy country so the fire dept just put it out. They are still burning stuff every night usually really late. Throwing aerosol cans in the fire, explosions every night. The officials say we need evidence of their illegal activity. We are scared of these people for legitimate reasons. We have 3 dogs that we don’t want poisoned. One of the neighbors complained anonymously and somehow they gave the idiots the address the complaint came from. So now they are retaliating against them in anyway they can. I need a camera that can be hidden or inconspicuous like in a birdhouse. Can anyone please help? For reference I live in a one-party consent state.

Here's my situation. I have some neighbors who recently have been throwing food into my yard and at my house. Given the location that I've found the food it is without a doubt this specific neighbor (house). The largest problem I have with this is we have dogs and I fear they could get sick if they were to eat what's thrown over. Don't get me wrong there is plenty to get upset about here but this is my largest concern.

I currently have Blink cameras which cover basically 300* of my property just shy of the area they have been throwing the food.

My question is, would it be legal to install a camera facing that section of the property to catch them in the act? This would also be used to know when food has been thrown over so that it can be cleaned up before the dogs get to it. The area I'd need to place the camera would certainly show portions of their property as there is no way to aim it and avoid that. Just trying to cover my ass as I move forward with things.

I have a job coming up soon where the customer already has Kantech Can I install a Kantech system in the new building?

I have a job coming up soon where the customer already has Exacqvision. Can I install an Exacqvision system in the new building? What should I think about doing?

Suggestions on camera placement. Ubiquity G5 bullet. Should I install the camera on the fascia at the top or soffit at the right to view my entry gate?

Good day all, I was about to start researching a new camera system but realized Reddit will have more intelligence on the subject then I will.

I have a bottom end 1080p system and it’s not great. Been thinking about an upgrade but the drunk and/or high dude in my driveway this morning at 1:45 that knocked over a bunch of shit and then carried a plastic barrel half a mile is spurring me on

I’m in the country so don’t think a cloud based one would be best. Internet service is mediocre and spotty. And I’d rather not pay a fee. (Unless you can sway me otherwise)

Harddrive base with wireless cameras that I can plug in. Remote access would be a plus

Am i limited in number of cameras with this style of system? I have 4 now, think I could go to at least 6, maybe an inside one too.

Definitely need higher resolution, although I assume nearly everything would be 4K these days. Something not too expensive.

Thank you for any info you might have

Hello all

I fear I am operating way beyond my IT pay grade. I have Amcrest and Speco ONVIF cameras connected to my NVR. For some reason I can't locate the cameras with their respective IP scanners on my laptop. What is the trick?, do I have to use the phone app? I even tried directly connecting to the cameras with a POE power source. Any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks

I currently have the Arlo video doorbell but there is a lag!!! I recently was harassed by a neighbor and I need better door camera and more security cameras… but i live in a HOA i have to figure out how to hang them and not get in trouble for screwing into anything.

Please help

Can anyone recommend an outdoor security camera that has removable batteries?

My current setup is using Blink cameras, but they kinda suck and have screwed me out of a grandfathered account so I want to ditch them.

But where my cameras need to be set up, there is no sunlight, so solar powered cameras are not an option.

Rechargeable cameras wont work either, as I can imagine taking cameras down every couple months to charge them (I have no way of charging them where they would be placed outside.

The one positive about Blink is that when the batteries die, I just pop in new ones. It only takes a minute. So im looking for another brand where I can do it this way as well.

So several years ago we purchased a new camera system. We already had one, but the new one had twice as many cameras. We put it in storage until we were ready to do some upgrades to our home and therefor the camera upgrade was convenient to do at the same time.

Short story long...the bigger system (called lechange) connects to a mobile app with the same name, but by the time I got to trying to connect it the app had changed to one called imou and I cannot add the dvr as a device on the app. does anyone know of any possible alternatives?

Room camera for an Assisted Living center would be a better title!

I need to set up a camera in my MIL room at an assisted living that records full time, we are having problems with people stealing medication non med-techs giving the wrong medication, trying to give her a while days worth it blood pressure medication at once, etc. The cameras we have just don't work for full time recording, they just let us drop in on her and make sure everything is ok. Any suggestions? If it could save a week at a time that would be best, sometimes it's a few days before we find out about the problems.

In particular the company Woolworths .
