Imilab EC4 with solar panel, can use or not?
or better pull 1 external socket and buy Xiaomi PTZ 2k pro instead?

Feel like wanted to add on 2 additional wireless CCTV infront of my house gate (probably setup on awning metal support)

Power Socket always the best

Add on Audio camera + Rm50 For 1 Unit

Normal or expensive.

I feel want to setup IP Camera, with all POE cabeling. But feel like budget does not allow me.

And IP Camera will more relay on my WiFi right?

On the high side for analog camera, POE camera won't affect your wifi, if you can pull your own Cat6 cabling buying everything online will be very much cheaper.

Depends on what system to use, installation work, etc..

Hello there. You mentioned this would be much cheaper if everything was purchased online. So I was looking online, and chanced upon this;

https://shopee.com.my/Hikvision-DS-2CD1063G...db-52c08c57ae64

Where the cameras are RM260/unit. Getting 8 would set me back for RM2,080.

The recorder would be this

https://shopee.com.my/HIKVISION-8CH-8-CHANN...e1-43e35166cdd0

RM814

And the cables were about RM360

The power supply about RM100.

The contractors are charging me RM2,000 to pull the entire thing.

Is this a solid price? I'm not terribly budget constrained, I just don't want to be spending money frivolously.

You shopee link is 6Mp & IP camera with some simple AI it's like day & night compare to what your contractor has quoted you. Try look for simple 5Mp IP camera for comparison, image wise still will be much better than analog.

I see
I'm about to bite the bullet and get 4 cameras first. Currently deciding between

https://shopee.com.my/Hikvision-DS-2CD1083G...1e-494f6832b31e

8MP, with night light, and 12-15FPS.

https://shopee.com.my/HIKVISION-4MP-DS-2CD1...74-f147ed848339

4MP, with ColourVu and 20 FPS

Having seen the cameras running at 15 FPS, it seems sufficient for outdoor monitoring usage.

They also have an 8 port smart POE switch for sale.

https://shopee.com.my/Hikvision-8-Port-Giga...1f-77b7e7d69e0e

Do I need this for anything or is the NVR sufficient? I'm bound to get into some complications as I try to learn how to do this myself, but I'm trying to minimise that.

https://shopee.com.my/HIKVISION-8CH-8-CHANN...e1-43e35166cdd0

This is the NVR i'm planning to get. Not sure what's the difference but this says it can record up to 4K

The NVR already built-in POE so no need to buy a POE switch. I prefer turret over vandal dome because with the round plastic cover if IR mode it tends to give some distortion especially later on when it becomes dirty due to environment.

Got it. I’ll make the adjustments. Thank you!

My CCTV guy said need 2 power sockets for the CCTV system. Can the 2 share the same socket using multi-plug socket?

Is vibration sensor waterproof? If not, any suggestion on how to prevent rain from affecting it? Thanks

Adapter for cctv is low current, so no issues at all. Not too familiar about alarm but waterproof vibration sensor should be available in the market.

Hi all, any comment on this quote? Price and spec wise

So cheap??

What would be a fair price? if this is considered cheap.

Analogue cctv but use cat6. No wonder cheap cause use analogue and use cat6 instead of of RG cable. Probably installer plan to use balun instead and you prefer cheaper option. 3300++ if need to hack to conceal the cable. When i install 4 low end basic IP camera without HDD somemore and all surface piping already 2200 i charge my customer.

Means Cat 6 is a cheap type of cable? I am not really knowledgable on this networking stuff.
