installation camera

[henkthailand52]

Hey. I have a question. is there anyone who understands how to install security cameras?  I pay for the installation and the travel allowance.

There are 100s of shops that specialise in security cameras and the installation etc. Find your local IT mall. Not sure why you would want to pay a westerner to travel and do it for you.

There is also some pretty easy DIY options, wireless, recording, watch on your phone etc.

Have you noticed that whenever there is a news thread where CCTV cameras are mentioned that it says the cameras were not working?

I have asked two people from two different camera shops and they both have no understanding and the description is only in English and they do not understand ..

the people at the camera shop sell four different types of cameras and they know all about those cameras but other brands cameras are alian stuf for them so they print on some icons of the installation program and see what happens. . it did not help them either

I live in a small village so here you do not have 100 shops

yes I know that those possibilities are there but if you do not know how to install it I will not get any further. I have already connected the cameras and can watch them but that was it. I do not even know what IT mall means or DIY options so that says enough how much I know about it

By IT mall, I mean most towns etc have a mall with computer shops, phone shops, cctv shops but if you are in a small village not an option. DIY options, you can buy a central unit, cameras, cable, power supplies all ready to just plug in and operate.

The installation is pretty straight forward, mount the camera where you want it, a cable (coax or computer network cable) or wifi back to a central unit that displays and stores the video (also can usually display and store to the internet, phone etc). Also power to each camera, either plug into the closest power point, or a cable to a central power unit or power over the computer network cable. most new systems are a single cable that carries the video and power.

The technology is the same no matter what the brand of camera, its all just plug and play nowadays. Of course the shop would be interested in selling you their brand of camera, but they would have no problems installing others.

 

Is it more a case of the shops are saying they cannot install, or connect to, some cameras you already have, which maybe the case if older technology. You may have a central unit that only connects computer network cable and a camera that only has a coax connector, adaptors are then required.

 

Maybe explain the setup and equipment you currently have and what you want to achieve and can point you in the right direction.

Sorry your photos are not clear enough to read.

I have a 150 acre farm and want to install long range security cams for security and outdoor viewing purposes (whitetail deer monitoring--during daylight and night time). 

I'm not sure if it's even possible or practical, but is it possible to run a 8-16 cam system at distances that might reach 2000 feet? 

I've researched it quite a bit, but still unclear about the specifics. From what I've read so far it looks like I might need RG11/U coax cable (I read somewhere that this was necessary for distances up to 1500' but didn't find any more information on cable for greater distances)? 

I do have a home in the center of the property so have a power source as well as internet. I want to install 4 outdoor security cameras right outside of the house that are attached to the house and only for security purposes. I'd like to be able to record those images the cams pick up for security purposes (if someone were to break in so I'd have the evidence). I also have a gate at my farm entrance that I want to run a cam to. 

The remaining cams I'd like to add slowly and maybe would add any where from 4-10 outdoor cams, again, for outdoor viewing purposes. I've even looked into a couple of the more expensive PTV cams just for the fun of it. I'm not loaded but am willing to buy a couple each year as a hobby. All the outdoor cams would average about 1300 feet. In an ideal world I'd like to have 100 yard viewing capability with the outdoor cams.

So primarily my questions are where do I start and is running cable to those distances going to be able to pick up video that far away and if so what sort of cable/size cable do I need? Is it possible or even practical enough to do? I'm not new to electronics, am not a genius but tend to figure most things out when I put my head to it. Just looking for some help. Thank you!

Find a solution!For my security cam.

Blue square=property
White line=about 2500'
Blue circle=house security cams
Green circle=gate cam
Red circles=outdoor short distance cams
Yellow circles=possible PTZ cams/overlooking larger areas
Pink circle=house

For frame of reference upper left field is about 10 acres, upper right field 5 acres, and lower field is about 25 acres.

Just has some line laid for TV/internet from pink circle (home) to green circle (gate) as well as for phone access to gate and it was measured at 1300 feet.
