[@carsonmtech]

Common questions: ANSWERED! [Open for Q&A's] Q1: Why did you not use the ethernet cables that came in the box? A1: Plain and simple: they were too short for my runs. If I was wiring a smaller building, I would have used them. They come with the camera kit. They work. Q2: How big of a hole did you drill and how? A2: You need at least a 1in hole. I used a regular hole saw. Q3: Shouldn't I worry about aluminum reacting with the steel? A3: No. With the way that I painted the metal piece, I am not worried about the two reacting. Q4: You didn't show how to setup the NVR and ethernet stuff enough. Could you make another video about this? A4: Yep! I already have. Check out my other security camera installation video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6O7cnWappuXZ80

[@eduardborukhov1928]

Where was the hole saw used ? I saw the drilling in the suffit. Did I miss the 1" hole saw?

[@nightfury0003]

Does the power also supplied by the Ethernet cable? 🤔 I noticed the other cable was just hanging when you installed the camera

No fancy music, no excessive random off topic conversations, clear audio, no shaky camera, specific instructions. Probably the best instructional video ever made. Great job and thank you!

[@carsonmtech]

I very much appreciate that! Thank you! I’m glad I was able to help you out :)

[@Dougalthepit]

YES! I just wasted 20 minutes on this drum-beat-background idiocy that all but presumes you’re mounting cameras on one table. Turn the drums off and say something. Thank you, Carson and thank you Kevin for succinctly stating the problem with most ‘how-to’ vids... Jeez, what a relief!!!!!

Good call on not including the actual unwrapping of boxes. That was a very considerate editing choice and is definitely appreciated :)

[@jesseanderson6603]

Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for securing your home from danger without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin at very last got astronomical success with it.

[@dantreview4698]

Unboxing videos are catastrophically overrated

[@bigbirdmusic8199]

He did let that curb meme play for about 10 seconds too long

[@eckathewrecka]

I'm with others here in that it is refreshing to have a clear and precise video without the annoying music and gimmicks, well done Carson :)

[@steveofsd]

Finally after an hour of searching I finally got a useful video, thanks for get to the point and not beat around the bush. No wind noise, no annoying music just pure instructions. Thank you.

[@bobby6322]

totally agree

[@49764tyler]

Direct, concise, with no frills, or wasted time. Probably one of the best instructional videos I've seen from someone without a production team. So well done and keep at it man, people appreciate the the style and format of the content👌🏻

[@poindexter1387]

Thank you for posting. I purchased a Swann 8 camera system. 5 years ago I am just now opening the box . I have been dreading running the wire but your video made me get off my LAZY procrastinating ass...... It's not as bad as I thought. Again thank you for posting a non b's video .......😊

[@CoreyStup]

The DIY soffit bracket is a great idea. Thanks!

[@sj7601]

Another great tool to have for running cables through drywall is the Magnepull. It's a bit expensive but works pretty well! I've never ran cables before and it was fairly easy once I learned about fire blockers (horizontal studs) in the walls :/

[@EpsilonFilms]

One thing to consider is that by mounting it up so high, you're less likely to be able to identify faces. Cameras can only identify within a certain distance, and by mounting high you are sacrificing some of that ID distance.

[@awsok1992]

Working in the industry and having seen some footage, this is a balancing act. If the camera is low enough, it is more likely to be noticed and vandalized as well.

[@henrynicholson7574]

Very well put together video! Thanks 😊

[@LafDDlafcam99]

amazing video honestly this is one of the example for everyone that try to make a good youtube channel, listen and learn.

[@lernealbanisch217]

[@kazee123]

Nice. I liked seeing your method and I will incorporate parts into my installs. The metal strip that slides into the soffit is super smart.

Good job bud. This is the way I wish I could do mine

[@honkie247]

Great video, one of the few without annoying music. However, you should use something to line the hole where your wire goes through the aluminum soffit to prevent abrasion. No need for that on vinyl soffits.

Well number one you are the KZbinr I watch every day and gives way too much info which I like

If you’re replacing an existing wired system, the best fish-tape.... your old line. Plus, you can generally pull through the entire length.

[@SteveV2023]

Love my wireless, records to micro SD card, no issues at all!!! The 56g card lasts a month, no fees!!

[@carsonmtech]

There are no fees with this system either and you don’t have to worry about a faulty SD card ruining your footage or just 30s clips of events! This allows for 24/7 surveillance which you can watch every moment of without missing a heartbeat

[@coziii.1829]

Security for me is Probably about 10-15 cameras 3-4 on barn 2 on each side of road 4-5 around house 2 down driveway 3 in back yard 1 on flag pole 3-4 on and in garage And also motion sensor lights as well And chimes

I wish you would spent more time on how to set up the receiver . I`m still having problem with my cell phone to set up with the the receiver . I have an NR31P8-8 . It`s working great except I don`t know how to set up my cell phone or my loptop . I don` t know who to call because the technician don`t want to deal because I did most of the work . Besides that you did a marvelous job on explaining all , specially to people like me. Great job young fellow .
