My question is, What is going on with that 5881 receiver??? Lol 😂😂😂
Everything is a hammer at least once
Cheer up TEMU version of Lilly from AT&T, there's a new service plan 😂
Expect to be asked to go to the truck and bring the wire stretcher, if your colleagues have a good sense of humor 😜
WATTT???
Who's watching them freckles when them tiddies are popping out like this?
Seriously 🤣🤣🤣
Hmm, I see what you did there
Based on The wire, the transformer itself, the sticker on the bottom and Flathead screws I could tell that the house most probably had an alarm system in the '80s OR '90s,
Even though the old alarm panel might have been removed the transformer could still be there because the previous owners did not know what it was and the person removing the panel didn't bother looking for the transformer
If you disconnected the transformer from the wall, just cut the wires off and bury them in the wall with the blank plate over, it is safe because the transformer was the only device for power to those wires,
With the transformer being removed the wires are basically dead. Without the alarm panel the other end of the wire is probably just buried in the wall somewhere on the other side
I doubt it, the panel is powered by 16.5 volt AC from the AC input and the DC input is on the battery, completely separate and if you unplug the Transformer you will have zero voltage on it
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven through the roof of a Home Depot and landed on your face in nuts and bolts section?
The stove is all induction, and the AC is a heat pump, we are in South Florida
Standing bidet could be safely called a shower
The only difference between them is the color and possibly shape, other than that the input and output is the same. Whenever you're replacing you can always go with more amps, if you can't find exact replacement
Bidet when possible
Go for the school bus drivers, they're most at least 250 and up, with a golden tooth
What can I say to a nerdy weirdo that hasn't been said to them during high school years? Lol
You look like a nerd snowman with boobs 🤣
You have seven potential points of failure (PPOF) between the camera and the monitor, that's too much for a simple setup you have,
If I were you I would first think on how to keep PPOF to a minimum
In this case you might be able to run straight rg59 wire inside the wall and then crimp new BNC connectors on it, eliminating the f connector adapters, also you can obtain a direct BNC to HDMI (or DVI) converter
If you want to keep your setup then you have to test to trace the video signal from camera to the monitor after each converter or device to see which one is the problem, I'm sure it's probably one or two
We only have one cat5e cable
Can you use it as a guide to pull out the cables through? Could be an option
If your brain going a little crazy trying to read my English that's because it's my second language 🤪
Hope it helps
Wow! Doesn't your toilet has a water tank above it?
Can someone please explain to me why is this bad?
I'm a low voltage tech and I don't do installs, so I wouldn't know right away
Hi,
I will not be able to help you with everything, but there are a couple of things to consider and there are several things that are not mentioned:
Not mentioned:
What is the longest wire run?
What are your expectations on video retention?
How are you planning to back up the power?
Are you planning to use any switches?
Are you willing to consider using other cameras?
To answer your questions:
Not necessarily because your cameras do not have SFP ports. SFP ports can be used in long distance transmissions using fiber converters, if not utilizing fiber then there is no need of buying switches with SFP ports
You do not need to use media converters, the video signal gets encrypted at the camera and gets decrypted at the recorder, anything in between is just Network (ones and zeros)
Yes, you can daisy chain, but switches only. You will need to home run cameras to the switch. Also be aware of the distance from device to device if using copper. 330ft/100m max. If you're planning to daisy chain fiber then you will need switches with SFP converters, (you'll need special termination tools so unless you know what you're doing it's not recommended in your case) If you are planning to use just CAT5/6 network cable, which you should be okay with only 32 cameras, then you do not need switches with SFP converters
Yes, there is a better way. If it is too much of a headache for you, consider calculating your budget, time spent and potentially getting the job done wrong or just turn it over to a professional installer who is doing it on a daily basis and will make it easier for you
Now, if you still decide to go along with it and do it yourself, here's my scoop:
If running new CAT5 or CAT6 cables, make sure that the distance from the switch to the camera is no longer than 330 ft or 100 m. Some manufacturers will guarantee a longer run (switch to camera) so make sure you verify with manufacturer's installation manuals
Make sure you calculate total wattage on the camera and do not exceed the budget on the switch, actually do not exceed more than 90% of the budget. If you're daisy chaining switches from the far location then after your Poe switch with cameras connected, switches in between PoE budget is irrelevant
If you're planning to use a power backup you will have to calculate for the amount of hours you want the system to operate without power in the event of a power outage, and if you want cameras on remote switches to operate too then UPS power backups must be considered to be installed at each remote switch location
Think about if you want your system to record continuously or on motion, and do proper storage calculations and buy the drives consistent with your storage expectations. SSD is the new way to go now
Call your preferred manufacturer and use their resources for proper camera selections, once you buy it before you test it make sure you have an adequate return policy in place just in case something doesn't play out the way it's promised
What's the point of using PTZs? Are you planning to set them off on a guard tour or Auto follow? Because if not then they are just big bulky dome cameras. Also, keep in mind that you can use smaller dome cameras, unless you want your property to scream that it is under surveillance
If you are in a lightning prone area and will be trenching and running a copper CAT5/6, keep in mind that it is strongly recommended to use a surge protector before the wire touches your recording equipment because induction is a real thing and will cook your recording equipment. You can also use two switches with the SFP connectors and a short fiber patch cable in between them, a very effective method too
I probably missed a thing or two, but this is what came to my mind when I looked at your post, so I hope my answer helps
To all the pros: If you find any mistakes please feel free to correct me, I am always willing to learn something new
Best of luck!
