We'll I have got most of my security roughed in. I still have some aux zones and wireless, and my panel to wire. But my wife is on me about a few cameras (she is very uncomfortable after the breakin).
I can't go too cheap, or I'll hear about it. I want to be able to view the cameras from iPads within haiku, and on a separate HDMI or monitor as we'll. I have pulled 7 camera locations (cat5e, RG6QS, 4c18 beldon). I think a mix of 480 and 720 would be ok. I don't think they all need to be 1080 or anything. I'd like them fluid, not 10fps. I think I'll start with 3-4 or so. Front door, front garage, back deck, and maybe back corner garage (to cover side door) What are your recommendations? Here is what I have...
- OPII
- Haiku
- Haiku helper (waiting on Mac mini to arrive)
- Synology DS1813+ 8 bay NAS with 4x3tb in raid6, 6tb current, 18tb max if I add 4 more drives. (it can run surveillance station service app
- Mac mini (bought for helper and iTunes only, 2.6ghz quad core)
- 8U 19" rack with 1U used by 24 port gigabit switch
- 42" Leviton structured media enclosure empty as of now
- cat5e, RG6QS, 4c18 beldon to each location (marked by red dot, back deck is long enough to get anywhere in x. Deck is covered 12 above deck, 15-16 above grade. It's 17'x7' covered. May extend out in spring.
- front pots on house, side garage man door surface mount, and back deck pots will be motion activated. I have a street lamp on corner of lot 60' from house.
I have no issue running more wire, buying more drives, or more equipment.
Another issue, my front porch is also 12', so that's a pretty steep angle. I know there are peephole cameras that go to screens on the door, but is there one that is wifi I could tie into? I can not fish wire to my front door. It has a large window above, and a narrow window each side. If there was a system that I could also use for a wifi camera or two that would be great. A few temp for baby's room etc would be good. But not interested in long term for those.
