I have installed lots of multi-camera DVRs. Wiring is very different with each home. Most of the systems we install use the "Siamese" type cables. The plan is to have the DVR either in a closet, and wire through the attic, OR wire to the DVR in the basement. Your video is good for rookies. Cover all entry ways to your buildings.

That HikVision camera you have in your hand absolutely can be mounted on a wall and still adjust up and down, left and right. There is no need for a bracket. There are three axises you can adjust...rotate base...swivel camera...and rotate camera. This allows for flat mounting to roof OR wall.

Hi. Best explanation video yet, so thank you for that. I bought a wired system that was rated #1, and it came with 10 cameras total. Eight bullets and and two domes. I’m wanting at least one camera inside my attached garage, and my pole barn this way if someone broke into either... I’d also see and have proof of what they stole. Now would you recommend a bullet camera inside each, or one dome in each of them???? My system came with the 10 cameras, but has the capacity of 16 channels and a 3 TB. ** Another issue I’m running into is, where I want and need to install them would mostly only be supported by soffits under hang overs. What would you recommend?? Please help and advise. I thumbs up, and now a new subscriber. Thank you.

@@HomeTechDIY That was my situation also. I have a 16 channel Lorex system so over time I've added cameras to back-up each other, works very well. I have no blind spots and mix dome/bullet cameras to take advantage of their individual characteristics. One other advantage I have is neighbors with virtually the same system, so our security overlaps to the point of being invincible. Also, if you can afford it, install a PTZ camera, at an optimal location, so as to zoom in for better face/license plate recognition.

@HomeTechDIY

Ideally, I like to place cameras out of the sun and somewhat protected, like under an eave. I have used that wall mount DS-1258ZJ and it should last outside for 7-10 years. It's plastic, so it will eventually get weak with the elements. I have cameras exposed to heavy rain, wind and snow and I have yet to experience any issues. Check out my video where I install a camera on a fence with no protection.

That's a tough one. There are only a few options that come to mind. Maybe install them in the higher spots from the ground (not around the stairs/doorstep where someone could reach them easier), plant a thorn bush under the camera to make it more difficult to access, install vandal resistant domes, install them into wood and not just the soffit (like I do), install cameras so the scenes overlap, use decoy/hidden cameras (like the trail cameras or the camera hidden in a fake rock). Hope this helps.

Regarding #4, I like to ensure good face images. As a result I risk vandalism to some inexpensive bullet cameras by placing them in unusual locations (like attached to trees, in planters etc) where even if someone is wearing a hoodie or a hat I am still likely to get a good shot of their face. The trick is to make them blend in which works well with bullet cameras. The mount and size make them easier to overlook.

The main thing I did was to place 2 at every one of the major corners of my house. This way they protect each other as well.

If you are using a PC as an NVR, tryTeamViewer for the time being. Look up videos on "Setting up TeamViewer". That might be your easiest solution for now.

Making my own video on these options and using domain name services (myipcamera123.com) is on my list, but it may be a while. You can get more info by watching videos "security camera port forwarding". Hope this helps.
