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

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

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

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

Thanks for the feedback. What about the alarm system?

Thank you

Ya, I am able to check the price at Lazada/Shopee, just the labour and installation part not so sure.

I got another quote

4 Channel
DVR HIK-VISION IDS7204HUHI-M1/S
1TB HDD
4x 5MP BULLET CAM NIK-VSION
4x RG59 coaxial

Yesterday one forumer mentioned about RG cable. Are those two system/spec comparable? without price comparison

This is interesting. Actually I plan to relocate my Unifi point to the opposite wall. So I wonder if this is the reason both vendors propose different type of cable.

The first one using cat6 did a site visit and I informed him about relocating the Unifi point. However, the RG cable vendor has not visited my house and at that time, there is no place to relocate the unifi point. Would he change to cat6 cable too if he is aware of the Unifi point relocation? Or the choice of using cat6 vs RG cable is independant of the unifi point?

Are both these system Analog?

I want to install a wifi-based CCTV for inner courtyard. Looking for one that can be installed DIY (beginner level), can trigger notification to handphone apps, waterproof and has motion sensor. Already have a power socket for it and want to point it upwards towards opening at the roof. Any recommendation or suggestion? Thank you

Bump

I just need to fix it to the wall instead of ceiling so that it can shoot upward right

what kind of adapter tapo C500 is using? is it for Malaysian 3 pin plug? From a youtube unboxing video, doesn't seem it is, so just wanna confirm.
Thanks

Tapo c500 is rated IP65 Weatherproof. Is it ok to fix it upside down like this at outdoor?

I intend to place it at an inner courtyard facing the roof..

Hi, should I wait for Unifi to be available before I install the CCTV and Alarm?

All wiring is done, just pending the camera, recorder and sensor installation. TM said the unifi insfrastructure is not ready. The house is currently empty but will start to move in furniture and appliances in 2-3 months of so.

If install now, the cctv can record but I am not able to view using apps and cannot control the alarm too.

Any thoughts?

I went overseas and changed my sim to local sim. Was able to view Hik CCTV, Tapo CCTV and control Blugard alarm using their respective apps. However, all connection is lost on the 6th day. I sent someone to my house to check and confirm there is electricty and wifi, all CCTV and alarm working as normal. I changed back to Malaysia sim upon return and still could not connect to the apps. Only when I arrived home and connect to house wifi, they are back to normal.

Anyone can explained what happened? Is it there is a cut off days that I need to connect to house wifi else everything become disabled?

How do I share my Tapo CCTV access to another user so that she is able to have equal control as I am? Current share function only allow minimal task, the shared user is not able to enter/exit privacy mode.

Is it possible to use my login details on another phone? I tried this but it keeps saying username/pwd is incorrect. Anyone able to share login details on 2 phones? Thanks
