1 year agoI crazy glue the cables into the cameras, but I’m willing to reterminate cables if I replace the cameras. I’d also note that a wired cable outside is susceptible to lightning strike, which can damage any other devices inside directly wired in. I isolate my cameras on a dedicated switch, and connect that via fiber. And use a surge protector. This lightning damage has happened to 2 family members.
I do also use Mac filtering, and for switches for this stuff I buy old Cisco 8 port 2960s off eBay for like 50 bucks.
I’d use fiber, conduit and bury it. I got a sprinkler company to do mine. And run extra fibers for long term potential.
