Today, we will talk about wired security cameras. There's different types that it can be confusing. We will talk about each of them and see which is the best option for you. I will also show some wiring methods for these cameras to minimize showing the wiring and for it being unplugged or cut and overall a cleaner looking security camera install.

Really clear overall explanation of the various types of wired and wireless camera options

[JohnDoe-peiu]

One of the best videos with clear explanation of the options and considerations. Well done and thanks!

[randm]

A lot of great information. Thank you!

[BrandonDoyleMN]

Great information as always! We’re still using Reolink PoE with a couple trackmix in backyard where we couldn’t run Ethernet

YES!! Finally, someone who agrees wired cameras are way better than wireless. All these new wireless camera/security systems irritate me. I want POE cams, because no interference from weird things like walls being in the way. "But wires can be cut!" people say. If you route your wires properly, it'll be a real PITA to do it.

Great Information and even better video 🙏

Thanks and you sound like you’re from the Philippines 🇵🇭. ❤️👍💯

Is there any way to determine the wifi range on any of these cameras? Any built-in antennas? My router is 30ft from my front door where I want the camera

LifeHakster! I watch a lot of your videos and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on which brand is better. Lenox or Reolink. I’m looking to put 4 security cameras around my property. I would like day/night vision, cat 5 wired for power and viewing. I also want the ability to check video feed remotely. Pan and tilt options are definitely nice, but great video quality is a must. Auto tracking is also another good option to have but not completely necessary. Please let me know what you would suggest. There are so many options out there it gets overwhelming. I thank you in advance.

Wait, so Wired POE cameras don’t allow you to get notification/alerts??

I am installing Eufy floodlights, doorbell, solar camera, too. My first time. It seems hard. I am replacing the floodlights but I am sure if it has a junction box. I do see a circular plate in the eave. I might need to buy a junction box. Not sure. I guess the solar batteried I can mount it anywhere. My limit is the height of the ladder.

What would be the best set up for a closed circuit (non internet facing) security camera system, with night vision capably? (Budget under 1200$, preferably under 900)

I am looking for a system but want 2 non wifi powered by network cable and 2 cameras to be wifi with power cable only. I want a box with hard disk and internet connected for viewing when away from house. Is there a system that will do this?

[QUWASH]

Can you make a video about conecting non reolink cameras to their nvr=

[SimonElias]

Do I need the splitter? Can I just plug a ethernet to usb (and then to usb wall plug) on one end and an ethernet to female usb to the other (and plug in usb camera to it) to power the ethernet cable? Would this work?

What brands do you recommend for wired cameras

[Starship]

EUFY STARTING to offer decorative outside lighting with camera solar/wired vs flood lights with hidden camera

[Keepingthefaith]

I've just replaced a Reolink PTZ camera which I have always had trouble using with Alexa for the Tapo C325wb, The nighttime footage is amazing. It's at the front of the house where there are street lamps which make it look like daytime in full colour just ordered another one taking advantage of Black Friday deals with £30 off

[dansarfert]

Excellent explanation. Thank you. You cleared up a lot of details I was lost on.

Should also recommend wifi mesh systems. Get a good modem and a good mesh wifi system.

With some high download AND upload speeds.

Wifi cameras definitely need a good network.
