Just double check the specs of the camera to check they are the same, with a dome camera someone couldn't easily adjust but with the bullet camera if it was lower down, you could hit with a stick to point in another direction. My preference is the dome camera.

I really would appreciate if you reply to this question. You mentioned the camera does not require dc power and can run off network cable. Can you explain this a little bit more please and thank you!!!!

[@GeekStreet]

It uses a technology called POE which stands for Power Over Ethernet where the ethernet cable from the NVR which is the recorder provides power directly to the camera avoiding the hassle of needing a power socket near the camera.

[@phooogle]

This is the same as the RLK8-820D4-A?

For better night vision on ANY camera, buy a I.R spot light off of Amazon. Go from 25ft to 300 ft.

Is there any difference between these cameras and the turret ones of the 800 besides aesthetics? Also can the cable be removed from the camera?

[@GeekStreet]

Both are the same from what I recall. Most people get a junction box and place the bulky connectors in there then they just drill a hole big enough for the ethernet cable only hope that makes sense.

I watched another KZbins channel video that featured these cameras, Lifehacksters and he had far better night vision images. So wondered if you have found a different setting since this video that has improved the image? Could different ethernet cables help? It just seems weird how his picture was so much better than yours for the same camera. I was keen on this setup until I saw the poor night vision in your video. Thanks for the review though, it was extremely helpful seeing all the settings and options.

[@goodtimes5716]

I want to buy this system I'm just worried taking cables through the house for each every camera

[@GeekStreet]

It can definitely be a hassle.

[@69Dartman]

I run my cables through holes that were already drilled into the floors for TV cables and run them underneath the house in the crawl space. My security dvr I have now has the small bnc cables so for now I ran them out of the window and the back door we don't really use. I just ordered one of these units so I will probably run the cables under the house or through the wall seeing how they should be much smaller overall and much easier to deal with.

[@Tjup]

Funny you tell length, width on everything, but not on the most impotent, the length of the cables...

[@kazutirudy]

Great video, but why did you feel the need to wear a mask outdoors and in your own home when no one else was around?

[@larryvaughn5843]

I have the older system and 8k is good, but spiders spin webs over the camera lens. A convex surface like what comes with the arlo ultra 4k cameras is needed or you will see nothing at night except the spider webs and spiders walking the lens. Or you will have to constantly clean the lens. The problem doesn't happen with arlo cameras, I have both types. Don't buy the older models because shadows from clouds will set the alarm off. You soon won't bother to respond to the hundreds of false alarms. Their domed model cameras might be a bit better with the spider web problem, but I have not tried them. This is why these product reviews are not really very helpful unless they are tested over time in a real situation.

Not pointing fingers at the channel, a review I saw had the same quality of night vision and they called it top of the line.
