Ground potential between two buildings is a thing for sure. Just be safeand put quality surge protection on both ends or do a fiber link between the buildings. Fiber is cheap enough now you might as well.

Ran a Swann system at home for two years to see how it compares to other options I had installed and had zero issues with cameras install was simple. I recorded 24 hours a day and had motion Based text alerts. Mine were only 720p so a 5mp set will be a nice stepup. My only complaint about swan...

**** i was thinking about doing Ubiquity cameras for my parents with the new cloud key gen 2 as the nvr. But thought there was a way to set them up using RTSP into blue iris if we didn’t like the ubiquity software guess ill have to confirm this before we order. Use their etworo switchs and...

probably was just want people to look into their situation before they just assume its fine. Iowa is a one party state but has to be posted because of another law that was at the state or local level. This was a few years ago and impacted public and private systems. I think they were trying to...

If you want to go that way thats fine but if you want to be able to use audio recordings make sure you follow the local laws. All my installs that use Audio have to be posted that audio recordings are used. Video only does not have to be posted but a sign stating Video surveillance is in use is...

My Dad just finished his 24’ deep by 36’ wide and it seemed big until his tools and cars were inside he wishes he had gone at least 30’ deep. 24’ is just not enough for a full size truck and being able to work on it with the doors closed.

Ive done several installs that are combined with traditional alarm systems. We used a IP input/output device at the alarm panel to trigger different zones from the cameras. At the cameras we used magnetic door sensors to send a trigger back to one of the outputs. And trip an alarm as well as...

Switch to 1080p at least adjust frame rate down to 12-15fps in areas that are just being watched. You should see a increase in storage and not a big change in video smoothness. Higher frame rates are good for moving objects ie driveways or doors that people would be walking hp to. Shutter speed...

Id think about re arranging size my dad just finished a 24’ deep 36’ wide with two 10’ doors and 10’ ceiling height. The 24’ depth is tight he wishes he had gone 30’ deep. 30x32 would but you at a 960 sqft pad is your size restriction finished square feet or outside dimension.
