Wireless Is a GREAT idea, thanks for that.
I hope Takex do them because I've been told they're the best on the market.

I have two TAKEX 180 beams now for the front and back. I tried tricking this be but now success. My german shepherd roams the area without triggering the beams. He does however trigger it if he goes bonkers for someone walking past the gate. He stands on his back legs against the gate, he is almost as tall as me when he does that so it's normal that he does trigger is in that instance. Do always happen.
I have not had any false alerts from these beams hence I rather want to beam to do it job and not purely rely on cameras that my send false alerts all the time. The AI although go does not seem fool proof yet. I will implement it when my cameras come but won't be my main source of intrusion detection.

Look at Communica they stock them. The wireless version is priceyWireless Is a GREAT idea, thanks for that.

Thanks for this Communica give great service.
EDIT: Whew, they are pricey! I'll have to start with 2 for the front garden, luckily our neighbours at the back have good security.

2. RLC 810A
I can now zoom in with software and far more detail.

Certainly looks much better clarity down the road... would be interesting to see how far you can spot number plates etc...Photos

Also glad they FINALLY arrived
Edit: Would you mind doing a short review of the 810 va 410?

Will check out. Strangely enough number plates still look poor. But could be sunlight as camera faces south and cars heading into the sun.
Camera to gate is about 10m but should be fine. Can zoom to guard entry and see way more legibly.

When did you order? Give about 7 to 8 days before DHL actually gets it. Then 5 to 7 days for DHL to deliver.
A week ago.
5 days ago? incl. weekend, so give worst case scenario until Thursday. Beyond then, escalate. In fact send a query now already.
Weekend? Here I thought China never sleeps.
I already sent a query. How long does it take to handover a few boxes to a courier.
Stated previously normally about 7 days before DHL gets it. Then about 5 days by DHL.
It is indeed on its way. The carrier just didn't update their system. Shipping labels have been created. Should be handed over to DHL for shipment.

Will this Switch work for the camera. Will be my first time using a POE switch, any switch for that matter.

Yes it will - its limited to 100mbps but that should be sufficientWill this Switch work for the camera. Will be my first time using a POE switch, any switch for that matter.

I have a 200mbps connection. I dont see the need to dedicate more than much bandwidth to 5 cameras. Just to find network cables now.

Yeah and typically the bitrate on the cameras is way less than 100Mbps - not sure about the 4k ones though.
Dont think I will install 4K cameras anytime soon just does not make sense for my use case.
