GREENERY IMPROVES THE SCENERY

[Indycar]

Fair enough. Google netgear Arlo. I got 8 of them. Bloody awesome

 

Nice gear, bill. Great convenience being wireless and own power supply. Though I do have concerns of others tapping into the wireless feed and looking at the same shit the owner does. Wouldn't wanting to be monitoring/streaming a grow room.

 

Still prefer the old school wired systems. That and the Hunting cams would cover my needs.

There's a project for you GQ . Plants or something to screen the view ..

I’ve got wireless as where I am, just harder to cable up high. Thye are expensive cameras and shit even though I have ran cable under the house with more access points. Looks like I might end up cable some wired cameras after all. CCTV better and as you said GQ, then no worry people looking in from outside.

True, never really considered people hacking in to it..

 

I just got them for convenience, and I don't even have them on the plants, they are just around the house and sheds etc. I can check out whats going on at home from anywhere, pretty cool tech.

 

I should mention that you do need to have them within range of wifi, so they are limited in that respect.

 

I have a couple of cheap trail cameras that I put on my dog traps.  The arlo cameras are like watching a HD video in comparison.

Yeah, no doubting to what you mentioned there, bill.They are some pretty cool tech indeed. Great way to keep an eye on things when your away.

 

I was wondering what network and range they operated on. Now that you mentioned wifi, I was thinking you might be able to extend their range with wifi boosters that you plug into household power points?

I’ve tried everything Indy. You in an older house with cladding so the metal sheeting is not good for getting a good signal out. Brick veneer is better. Power line adapters with old wiring is not much chop. I just ran cat5 underneath the house and setup a couple of access points. I think I’m going to end up running wired cameras with my own pvr. Done it before that way and works better. You basically want a router that does AC/5.4ghz but the other end needs to support it and pretty much all good wifi cameras don’t yet. Comes down to your house structure/interference etc.

Yeah, I would've thought the range of cameras that operate on 5ghz would be fairly low still. It would improve their range somewhat than those on 2.4ghz.

 

I'm a bit like yourself, tim. Nothing totally sorted as yet. but whenever something gets opened up or dug up over the last few years I've been dropping Cat6 into walls, ceilings and trenches. I'm onto my 2nd 305m roll already.
