Hi guys!

I'm building my dream house now (currently in the early stage of foundation and ground beam) and expected to start the electrical wiring within 3 months. I will use my wireman to pull cables for alarm n cctv. btw He doesn't know how to setup the alarm n cctv, so I'll setup myself.

So my question:

1. I have no experience in cctv or alarm installation, but I consider myself to be quite good in following manuals and quick learner in IT stuff haha. (btw I setup my own networking in my offices and home. with mikrotik/ubiquiti hardwares). How's the learning curve in setup the alarm and cctv?

2. Alarm: I'm considering the Paradox Magellan wireless alarm system. Is this okay? I really do not mind changing the batteries. The convenience of no wire is very appealing to me, is there any other concern with this system?

3. CCTV: I'm planning to have IP based cctv, with 8 indoor and 8 outdoor cameras. My whole house will be wired with cat6, so I think I should just go with poe-powered cctv? Any recommendation of system/brand?

Thank you! smile.gif

1.It's not that difficult to DIY.
2.Have you look into Smart Home solution with Alarm?
3. You cannot go wrong with POE IP camera. Of course I would say my IP Camera is better than Dahua/HIK consumer series. brows.gif

Thank you so much for your reply!

1. good to know this!

2. Is "Smart Home Solution" a brand? if not, any specific model/brand that I can look into? And I forgot to mention I need everything in English only.

3. Interesting, do you sell IP Cameras?

Thank you! smile.gif
