| Cat 5e CCA vs. 100% Copper for PoE Cable Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:04 PM PST I have seen recommendations to use 100% copper Cat5e cables instead of Copper Clad Aluminum. What impact would using CCA have on images from the camera? Any other reasons to use 100% copper over CCA? Thanks, [link] [comments] |
| Hardwire a battery powered smoke detector? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 06:05 PM PST Really want to replace the hardwired First Alert smoke alarms in my home with new Z wave models, but they only make them in battery powered versions. Are there any adapters or any ways to hardwire battery powered smoke detectors? I know some companies like Ring make battery powered listeners but I'd rather not mount another device on the ceiling if I don't have to. [link] [comments] |
| How can I temporarily stop a door censor from pinging (Ring) Posted: 05 Feb 2021 09:50 PM PST So for context I live in the garage, im 18 and live with my mom. My mom sleeps very early and Im a night owl I like to go out to the living room get some snacks to take to my room and sometimes I need to simply take a piss. Theres a garage alarm door censor that was put there before the room got built into the garage so now it's unavoidable that there is that annoying ping sound every time i decide to go out of my room so my easy fix was that I just leave the door slightly open until i decide to go to sleep to not bother my family with the pinging, she hates that i keep the garage door open so every night she gets mad and tells me to shut the door and then before that solution i was just opening and closing it everytime i went in and out, she hates that too. Is there anything I can do to the alarm like tape over it or put a sticky note so that it doesnt ping while im up at night? TLDR; Is there any way I can temporarily cover or disable the censor to a door to avoid a bitching from my mom every night when i need to get food or use the bathroom [link] [comments] |
| Some essential cybersecurity advice Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:33 PM PST So having seen someone on here lose a shit-ton of money from overcomplicating their network and getting hacked, I felt I should make my advice generally available for anyone on here. Hope it's useful :-) I am fairly knowledgeable of cyber security and here is my advice for how to be nigh unhackable:
If you follow this advice I literally can't think of a way someone could hack you or defraud you. Note, if you hook up internet-connected security devices to your network, you'll need to make sure they're properly configured. I can't help you with that, but this will cover you in computer terms.

| Trouble with home security company Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:47 PM PST Recently I signed a contract with a security company to install a security video vigilance system. They said they were going to install this bullet model But they ended installing this domo model: They said the domo model is better but I am not sure. What do you think? It is for a garage with not too much light. Thanks in avance! [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a simple, single-camera, offline-only setup Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:28 AM PST Hey everyone, I'm looking for a pretty barebones security camera setup that respects my privacy and doesn't require a smartphone app or need a working Internet connection to function. I can't run power to the camera, so it would need to be battery-powered. I want the camera to be outdoors, and I would like a base station / camera pair so that if the camera gets stolen, I don't lose any of the footage. I don't want "cloud integration" or "mobile notifications" or "an app". A functional web interface that works on my local network would be perfect. I just want to be able to save my video to a SD card, USB HDD, or NAS. [link] [comments] |
| Motion detection alarm on timer? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:19 AM PST Hi all! I'm having trouble with folks in front of my business at night doing illegal activity. Is there a motion detecting alarm that can be set to only off during specific hours? We are in operation after dark so one that's based on sunlight won't work. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
