Good stuff Amanda! Can I ask what PC software you are using to monitor the boxes? I am moving to a surveillance type system for next season. Currently playing with iSpy, which seems OK (especially since it is free), but interested in other options.That screenshot was from my iPad. I have 15 camera in all, some hikvision cctv and the others are wildlife. I am using a Hilook NVR (which is a hikvision rebadge) and I use the hik-connect app on my iPad. I leave my camera’s on 24/7 all year round.
I can just look on my iPad using hik-connect to see live streams or motion detects, so don’t use any streaming company, my NVR does all that for me.
The cameras I am using are:
I have found a great solution to run 2 camera’s from 1 cat 6 cable. This runs 2 of the birdbox cameras. The cat 6 cable goes to a POE switch box. This is great as I have been able to make use of the cables already outside.
The LINOVISION Mini Passive 2 Port POE Switch has made it a lot easier to add extra cameras - which Paul might find handy if he expands his IP camera range.
Theses are the POE switches I use (I have a few of these!)
Give me a shout if you need any help with anything
