There are a few cameras out there that send both power and signal through the same RG-6 line: http://www.amazon.com/Net-Media-CAModulato...r/dp/B00006JPV1

A compromise between a splice in the wall and a new line would be to do the splice in a j-box depending on where the box would have to be on the wall and how unsightly it would be. If you ever have a problem with that line, you'll always be able to check your splice rather than have a nagging...

I've been using a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 in my home for about 4 years. I have 6 in my family and about that many computers. Anyone in the family can login to any of the computers and have their My Documents and email available to them. WHS is built on the SBS 2003 platform but...

Thanks! The "You've Got Questions, We've Got More" product worked. However, it decreased the volume level a bit too much. Are there other higher end isolators that would affect the signal less? I actually wanted to use a Nuvo system, but the wife factor liked the looks of the LyriQ module...

I recently installed a 4 source 11 zone On-q whole house audio system in my house. I've connected a CD deck and an Ipod to On-q's single and triple source input devices with very good results. However, when I connect other devices like a TV, cable box, or a boom box using the same cables at...

I just installed two of the Greyfox / OnQ Cat5 B/W bullet cameras. Right now, while the house is under construction, they are hooked to the video distribution module and then to a PC, which is acting as a video server. When I move in they will be hooked up to the Greyfox in-wall LCD monitors...

I'm using webcamxp on a PC to act as a video server for two cameras at my home that's under construction. The cameras are connected to the PC via video capture cards. I can send you a link to the server at the construction site if you PM me. I also use webcamspy on a remote computer to...

I feel better now. I had to quickly run security wire to accomodate a change in the drywallers schedule for my new home. I've wired all the contacts and devices and the wires tested OK, so if a wire is damaged down the road, I can only blame myself. However, I will likely include EOLs for my...

I just finished installing speakers for my whole house audio system. For larger rooms > 14x14, I installed at 8" ceiling speakers. In smaller bedrooms, I used 6.5" ceiling speakers. In great rooms, I installed multiple 8" speakers. For the master and family rooms, I'm using the 8" ceiling...

I just installed cameras in my home under construction early due to some jerk stealing some tools. I was going to buy a DVR, but then I thought, what if someone breaks in and steals the DVR? Instead, I used one of my old PCs to act as a video server and then used a remote PC to record the...

Here are kidd proof outlets: http://www.smarthome.com/22490w1.html Maybe that is what he/she was asking about.

I'm ready to hook up my structure wiring enclosure for my home under construction. It is a Greyfox Titan enclosure and there are about a 100 wires terminating in it, so it’s quite crowded. I would like to use the cute matching Greyfox 5 port switch or even their 8 port router but I need at...
