mark auto Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Need to install cctv on a new build domestic, chipboard floors etc so lifting the floor isnt happening, and the external walls are insulated with board type insulation i believe also, so fishing up cavities would be very difficult. Added to this, we want to keep the cameras at a reasonable level, ie not just slapped on soffits, this house is on a slope so it appears to be 2 storeys from the front, but its actually 3 storeys when viewed from the rear. I toyed with one of the hik dome cameras that had built in wifi, but it seemed very unstable even sitting on my desk, it would work for a few hours through hik connect (which i think is awful BTW), then it would drop off, never to return until i defaulted the camera and started again, putting it back on our wifi network etc. I have thought about using IP cameras with POE injectors/PoE switches, network bridges etc, ie drill through a wall near a socket, camera outside, PoE inside, wireless link internally to the router, or use TP links or similar, but it all seems a bit messy. Is there an easy way of achieving this that im missing?

petrolhead Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Are there gutter downpipes near usable camera locations? Run some ali tube or colour coded placcy conduit behind the downpipe. If the homeowner isnt too fussy you could cabletie external cat5 behind the downpipe but 20mm conduit looks better. nvr in the loft, wireless mouse, technomate 1080p modulator and your golden. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41500-wifi-cctv-system-for-domestic/#findComment-467649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) NVR in loft? Blimey. Today I installed an Axis M7014 in a loft as a last resort (best place where all 4 analogue cables and a decent net point were) and wondered about heat, and that unit is basically a giant metal heatsink itself. And it wasn't even that warm today. Well, tbh re-using old analogue stuff was a last resort but that's another story. At least the 2 additional cams were mid range Axis. Edited August 21, 2017 by datadiffusion So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41500-wifi-cctv-system-for-domestic/#findComment-467650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not a problem we face in scotland, never had anything fail due to heat. Leaks yes, heat no.

mark auto Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Gutter/downpipe idea may be do-able, havent been to the house for a while so would have to see if its feasible or not, good idea though Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41500-wifi-cctv-system-for-domestic/#findComment-467659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
