@CapStar3626 ай бұрын
i have a Alibi System, and it does not require a subscription, its included and they even give you a free NO-IP DDNS account that is permanent until you leave it idle so that you can view your cameras via Web-HTTPS, i even viewed them over Putty once ( a bit finicky ) and even open sourced apps like Guardian or Owler live and in real time. I also mirrored my Alibi NVR to my private cloud server for redundancy and it has 24 TB of total storage allocated to it for 16 cameras with 6 of them Facial Rec Enabled and 2 PTZ's ( Yes, I am a authorized individual to use Facial Recognition for ID Purposes if someone commits a criminal act within my property ) 24TB gives me a full 45 days of all 14 cameras ( if i wanted to ) to run 24/7 at 1080p resolution to be recorded, but only 4 of them actually do this. the rest are motion triggered.

@@nics-systems-electric if you ever upgrade ubiquity and mid tier hikvision cameras are better than lorex. They all work but ubiquity works with your network and I have installed Hik in multi million dollar houses including a house belonging to one of the most recognized names in the USA possibly the world. Either way if you ever upgrade I would consider ubiquity cameras and their NVR, if you have a UDM PRO/SE it already has a drive bay. Entry Hikvision systems are over rated but their mid tier to high end stuff is some of the best on the planet.

Getting the wiring of those cameras through a tight hole is a PITA. I found two ways that work for me: 1. Cut off the cable before they split up and reterminate the 4 wires that are needed to an RJ45 plug (you need one that works with 28 or 30AWG which is difficult to find), which does void the warranty. 2: Drill a big hole into the top of a surface mount electrical box and mount them to the top so you can terminate the cable and store the slack inside the box.

Very nice job! I agree about keystone jacks being much easier than RJ45’s. What I’ve started doing is putting keystones on each end of the cable then using a 1 foot premade RJ45 jumper to connect the jack to the device.

Nic as I'm sure many people have told I have started using Reolink for all of my security cameras as the all locally record in conjuction with using a third party software NVR system called ISpy Agent. The other thing I love is they work locally for my smart home system as long as you buy the correct models. I personally love the ones that have the spot lights on them and my newest ones are all POE powered by Ubiquiti Unify POE Switches. I've haven't used they're NVRs but even without the NVR they still work great and I've slowly started replacing all of my old Foscam cameras with Reolink. I would suggest using micro SD cards in each camera if possible with the nvr because then if your NVR hard drive fails you have a backup and from my experience it doesn't affect the streaming quality.

On time-lapse 28:39 there's a little bag you keep putting back in the box. Inside those bag are little RJ45 covers that should be installed to keep moisture out of the connections. I've seen enough cameras without those covers. And they get oxidized and stopped working due to the cover was never installed. Not sure how to install them? You slipped them onto the Cat6e wire before you install the RJ45 connector. And the cover are for the outside camera. Inside cameras don't need them. But they are nice to have on the inside cameras just to keep the connection from coming undone.
