if installing network cable in new build (estimate year end) , is Cat-6 still the way to go ? Worth to go for Cat-6A / Cat 7 ?
mainly to connect NAS to Home Office and room media player. also for IP CCTV (Hikvision or Ubiquiti ?) |

QUOTE(yop da great @ Jun 26 2020, 08:41 PM) It is always worth to go for the latest standard if you have the budget because it is not easy to change in the future.. requires hacking and it's super messy with all the dust.. thanks, I've been reading up these few days. Still seem Cat6 (not even Cat6a) is OK ?  1gbps should be good enough for NAS to "Home Theater" (cheapo projector) ? QUOTE(adamw @ Jun 26 2020, 11:07 PM) Ip camera can consider Dahua or HIK. Even mat salleh don't really go for UBNT which is over price. I have 1 existing installation of UBNT and 1 with HIK (separate location, each about 20 cams). Both 5 years old, UBNT didn't need to replace anything yet although 1 cam IR dosen't work. HIK had to change 2 cameras. Yea cost wise I can buy a whole new set of HIK comparing with UBNT ... but just wondering if there are more "premium" model for HIK that lasts longer ? since this is for my own house, prefer something with least hassle / highest reliability. |

QUOTE(adamw @ Jun 28 2020, 01:15 PM) Yes, entry level Dahua/HIK reliability is a big question mark but if you can afford UBNT then search for the project models of dahua & HIK. Yours is dome or bullet? you mean for UBNT ? I use both, dome for indoor and G3 for outdoor. Problem with HIK is tough to know if it's a more premium/highend model or seller just marking up the price  |
