camera on main door

[IVB]

IVB,

I am also interested in this camera you have. Can you provide a link to where you got it from? I am wondering if a porchlight would be enough to make a person visible at night if they are standing at the front door.

I bought it from toymaster. It was part of a larger order [i got 3 more of the current vitek cameras too], so he created an invoice and sent to me.

ToyMaster: Is this up on your site?

I'm taking Fri->Tue off to do a variety of Elk/CCTV stuff, this particular camera is near the top of the list, so i'll post pics and my impression then.

so guys, what wires should I run? If at all possible, buy a not-so expensive reliable camera that integrates well with ELK.

Here is a link to the Color Camera/Motion Sensor the IVB got from me http://www.vitekcctv.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=187

Since there are so many different camera options depending on needs, wants and mounting location I do not list them all on my site.

That's a cool camera. What wire does it need? Where can we use the motion sensor if it's outside the house such as in porch, main door?

EDIT: How wide can it capture?

Is there room inside for a video balun so you can run it off a single Cat-5 wire?

Yep, there is huge space in between 2 studs. If you look back at the front of my house, either behind A1 or G1 is a 16" hollow. Can that balun work though for the camera that toymaster posted?

And will that camera/motion be good for A1 or G1 location in the front of my house?

It needs everything a vidcam & motion do, which is power/video/motion.

In my case, as i've got all this dang cable that I bought before I heard of balun's, I'm going to run a combo RG59/18-2 cable and either 22/4 or CAT5 [after this weekends debachle, i'm not trying 18-4 again ]

No idea on the width, i'll post pics once i've got it up.

so upstatemike,

how much do those baluns cost? Or is it going to be cheaper to run wires?

 

[upstatemike]

They cost between $12 and $25 apiece (and you need 1 at each end of the cat-5) so running wire will usually be cheaper. I have to do a lot of surface stuff so it is worth it to me to reduce things to one thin cat-5 cable.

Ok, I will lastly install the wire for camera. If I have enough RG6,18/4 and CAT5E, I will use this instead. If I don't have enough of those, I will just run 1 CAT5e towards the headend.

And also, do I need to put a single gang box facing the outside? I mean, facing the aluminum sidings or do I just create a hole in the OSB board and stick out at least 10 inches of those wire?
