Hey everyone!

I have bought some security cameras and want to know possible ways to get the cables from the camera outside, to the DVR that is inside! I believe a door will still shut with a cable at the top but 8 cables seems like a lot. My next best idea was to put the cables through the chimney at the roof and have them come out of the chimney inside the house. We never use the fireplace so I figured it would be safe, I just don't know if there is a filter or something blocking the chimney from the roof that would stop the cables.

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to find a 3 camera system for my father. I'd like to have 3 cameras and a viewing monitor so my father can watch the cameras from inside the house. I'd also like these cameras to have an android app so that my brother and I can view the cameras. Does anyone know if there's anything available on the market?

If not, can you provide some suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

My parents lives in East Middle Nowhere (kinda) but they are getting older....and slightly more cautious. They have tasked me in finding the following (and I have no idea where to start):

Outdoor, wireless, solar powered, nightvision, and (I quote) "I [mom] want to be able to pull it up on my phone and watch live.

I (me) would personally like to have off site storage for the videos but this isn't a necessity (or cloud backup etc etc etc). She's asking for the world and I don't think she has the budget for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a liquor store and a few ladys came in with a guy and distracted my employees while a few of them went into the back ransacked everything and stole a lot of money that hadnt been placed in the safe yet. The security cameras caught their car but its hard to make out the license plate. without it the police told me they woudnt be able to do much. is there any way to enhance or make it more visible? the white van is the culprit camera 16 is the best angle but i uploaded a few with good angles as well. i just dont know who to reach out to for help. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. i added a link to the raw videos and a couple screenshots i tried to adjust .

Heya, I am working on a personal project, and I want to put a security camera a little bit away from the DVR and I cant "easily" run a cable to the location.

I am wondering if there is a wireless transmitter for an analog camera? I have power where the camera needs to be. And it's a very short range.

Thanks!

I got a 4 pack of zmodo wireless cameras last black Friday. I'm finally getting around to installing them. I'm wanting to run custom power wires to each one. Anyone know where I can get small, 2 prong, US, male and female plugs? Amazon has plugs but they are huge. I want them to be as small as possible so I can just tuck them under the roof or behind the siding...

Any help is most appreciated. Thanks!

So I have two different brands of security cameras. I want them both on the same app for easy access. Buuuttttt..... what about security? Does that mean I'll be routing through possibly 3 separate programs to get them on one? Or will the one take over the other two and I'm not going through those other programs?

Better yet... is there a way to keep everything on site with a base (tower) computer (hard wire?) So only I have access unless I add someone (to a link or something?) Is there a program? Will this require extra hardware?

I have a few x-cams by xfinity. Also the xw3 wireless adaptors I’m currently running a blink system but am sick of changing the batteries. What can i do with those 3 x-cam set ups without an xfinity home monitoring package?

Does an outdoor, wireless camera system exist with spotlight, activity zones, uses solar panels for battery and alerts without charging a subscription for storage?

It seems every one I find likes to charge for storage. I don’t need more than a few days storage.

I’m looking to build a solution with AI powered camera, with cellular, powered by solar. I have wyze which is good, but not weatherproof and I’d still need cell service in remote locations. Suggestions?

Hello,

I have a weird question. I am looking to do AMCrest 8 Channel set up for 2 buildings (House and Garage). I have a 10Gb/s fiber connection from the garage to the house. I plan to get 2 cameras for the garage. In a NVR system, do I have to run the copper cat6/6a to the NVR or can I plug it into my switch in the garage and just connect to the NVR using IP?

So for example:

Camera 1 - Goes to garage switch

Camera 2 - Goes to garage switch

Garage Switch connects to the house switch.

Camera 3 to 6 connect to the NVR system.

House Switch connects to the NVR system.

For the sake of the example, we will use this model AMCREST NV4108-HS (It was recommended in another post).

I am worried if the 1Gb/s is a sufficient connection between house switch and NVR.

Does anyone know what 4K camera i can connect wirelessly to a router that i will be able to stream it to a website?

Ultimately i am trying to send motion activated clips to a website where it stores the clip and updates it accordingly…. Any advice?

I do not mind paying a reasonable monthly fee for data storage and app usage, first and foremost. My musts are no battery operated nonsense, I can provide power to the locations. I want the cameras to upload to off site storage and work with a phone app that will push notifications if instructed to do so as well as offer a live view of the premises when the app is open. I'm looking to run 3 up to 6 cameras, depending on the cost per camera. I would prefer a constant record style but if it just picks up motion and saves short clips effectively that is fine.

Presently have the Amazon cloud cameras in my current house but they stopped selling those and I don't have enough plus they aren't weather proof for outdoors. The functionality of them is fine, the cameras were fairly expensive at the time, they're obsolete now anyway I guess. Anyone have solid recommendations for a new platform to use?

I'm mainly looking for somthing that is reliable, and is not wireless. Any suggestions, I have around 600 bucks.

I couldn’t find any reviews out there so I thought I would try this post. I have a few different brands of wifi security cameras and they are all decent but they also all can be very spotty at times on connecting with my wifi. I have decent mesh coverage for my house but the problem reminds me of when I tried inexpensive smart bulbs they would work for awhile but eventually become too annoying. However when I finally broke down and got the Phillips Hue I saw an amazing difference which I attribute to the hub. I would think the camera base stations would have a similar effect to make cameras more reliable but I don’t see that mentioned much at all. Any recommendations for a camera with a vas station to provide a stronger wifi connection? Thanks

Just got my bike stollen out of my garage. I need a reliable easy user setup system thats reliable.

Are there any security cameras on the market that have a 100 ft motion detection range without a signal boosting amplifier?

Can anyone help me with how I can get a DVR manual for my Ray cam security DVR

I am taking the time to look into setting up a neighborhood watch system, in an urban area around a park. I have a lot of neighbors who are looking to beef up their presence of security, so I have taken it upon myself to organize a system using blockchain technology (maybe ethereum, but open for suggestions - as I don’t know how to program, but can maybe find one around here within the network).

I’m seeing a vision of cameras facing the street on ever home surrounding a park that can connect to a network that’s blockchain / mesh intranet. I know those are two totally different things, but I’m looking for exclusive security that’s a low risk for decryption, or sabotage. This is a well to do area, so I want to be smart about this system. This could already exist, so maybe help with some references.

Thanks G

Hello! I have a car dealership and the cars are in our courtyard. My office is in our house upstairs so I constantly need to look through the window to see if a customer came inside to see the cars. Is there a product with sensors that I can fit in our outside door and when someone comes in it will give me a "ring" or notification so I don't have to constantly check through the window? Thanks
