corviarbob 0 Posted December 15 i had a 20 camera system 8 bullet cameras and 8 foscams and 4 bullet cams just as backups to the foscams in 4 entry locations. all hard wired and it worked great, but i had a house fire and that took out the system of course. so when i get rebuilt i'm thinking of just going with 8 wifi cameras/dvr. i had wifi cameras before and i had so much dropout that i went to wired cameras. but i wonder if i was to get one of those wifi systems that pair with it's own dvr if that works to prevent those dropouts? i can get a 8 camera wifi system to replace the 8 bullet cams and have the house wired for those locations for power. but i'm not getting good answers to having the house wired for camera feeds. so that is why i'm asking about wifi cameras and using there won dvr if that kind of system does not have any dropouts on the feed. thanks.

Hi. Then this is the right time to wire your house for cameras … just use cat5 wireless cameras with dvr have never been reliable. Analog wireless are proprietary so don’t last once cameras start to fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corviarbob 0 Posted Monday at 10:13 PM ok thanks. like i said i do not know if they will rewire for the cameras. i would have to use the bullet camera wire and they may not want to run it. and i bet they will not let me do it when the sheet rock and siding are not on the studs either. but i will redo it as i had it before with wire and not use the wifi. that is why i asked. again thanks much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
