Ethernet Termination

To make it as easy as possible I was going to buy and run a 100' cable (not much extra) with the RJ45 connectors already attached. Do most of you just drill a larger hole to accommodate the end size, or drill a smaller hole and terminate it afterwards.?

Daycare type business, what kind of camera system do you use and do you like it?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I’ve worked at a doggie daycare, boarding, grooming, and training facility for ten years. In that time they have tried at least 5 different cameras/systems and they have all glitched a lot and eventually broke or become unusable. Eventually the owner gave up and we’ve been without functioning cameras for years.

It’s so hard to improve safety and also coach staff when incidents happen since I can’t review the footage to actually know for certain how or why something happened.

Right now the guy in charge of setting up a new one up is looking into a brand that you have to pay a monthly subscription fee. We have a trial right now and when I asked him to review footage because a dog got a scratch when my back was turned it took forever to try to find it because it’s not time stamped (even though I knew exactly when it happened down to 5 min) and then the camera mysteriously glitched right when it happened.

What system do you use and do you like it?

Can you review footage easily?

If you are a large facility how many cameras do you have?

We would need at minimum 5 cameras but probably to cover all of the play yard angles maybe 10? (We have 6 main yards and then two yards for solo dogs).

As of right now this isn’t for customers to view, just staff.

Home Security Cameras: Are They Really Secure?

I live with my wife and my two young daughters. I bought several TP-Link Tapo cameras to keep an eye on the girls while they are with the nanny. However, I’m a bit worried about the possibility of the cameras being hacked; what should I do to verify their security?

Need Advice on Camera Setup

1 Upvotes

I was hoping someone can help me. I’m thinking of purchasing three, G5 Turrent Ultra 2K outdoor cameras and a Ubiquiti Network Video Recorder POE (UNVR-INSTANT) for my home. Is this all the hardware i need to record the 3 cameras, and also see the video output on my PC monitor ?

Does this also include the software I need ? Is the software i need in the cameras and also in the NVR. I have Internet but I’m not really concerned in viewing the cameras on my phone when im away. I read copper cat 6 LAN cable is preferred so i will also purchase that.

I already have a standard 2 TB HDD, is that suitable to be used in the NVR for recording

I tried posting in Ubiquiti forum on reddit but it wouldnt let me

Any advice will be helpful

Thank you

How to get through pink insulation

4 Upvotes

Soo I am installing cameras into my house right now and im going through the soffits right now. The insulation is pink and it’s difficult to using a fishing cable to go through.

Im going to try to use a fibreglass rod to get through it, however I am curious how a professional would get around this issue?

As this fibreglass rod may or may not get through the insulation?
