I bought one camera earlier, so I moved it, found a place for it to be placed.
Two or three weeks ago I bought another camera.
And I decided to place them on the terrace pillars.
So that one faces the entrance to the yard and the other faces the entrance to the garden.
I have already installed streetlights on the poles. Since they use two wires and the cable is three-wire, I have one free to use for powering the cameras, and I will take the zero from the streetlight. In our country, the practice is to lead the zero directly to the light and the phases to the switch.
I added a piece of cable and a socket to the existing box.
Since I have three poles, I will place the cameras at the ends
That's how I placed the cables with the sockets
in our case the yellow-green wire is used for grounding. since I don't need it for the lanterns
I will use it to power the cameras and connect it to the phase in the main box.
And the power supply for the cameras is ready. You get a cable with the cameras but not an adapter.
But each camera says what power requirements it requires. I used two adapters from mobile phones.
I temporarily hung the cameras with ties
Until I test whether they will fit there. They are sheltered a little under the terrace, to save them from rain and snow.
Installing the cameras is easy. You just scan the QR codes with your phone and follow the instructions.
I bought one before and one after. So I got cameras from different manufacturers. And they both have their own apps.
I wasn't very patient to try to connect them both to one app. But each camera has its own app, that's how it is.
Next time I'll think about it and buy more cameras from one manufacturer.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
Stay healthy.
Why the cameras? Do you have a problem with potential intruders there? My wife has brought up the possibility of us getting some wireles cameras, but I refuse. Our neighborhood is fairly crime free, so I just don't see the need.
You seem to be handy with electrical work. I am getting some done this week. I am know a little about it, but just not comofrtable enough to do what you did. Especially as unsteady as my hands are these days.
Winter is coming, and winter in the countryside can be problematic here.It's a quiet place during the summer.
Here are just a few events from the past year.
Man had all his cured meat stolen from his smokehouse, even though he had guard dogs.
A master chainsaw repairman had three chainsaws stolen from his basement workshop.
I am an electrician by profession, if you need any advice feel free to ask.
But if you're not sure, it's better to call a friend or a handyman, someone who understands it and can do it safely.
not sure in what country you are an electrician , but tape isn't allowed anymore in my country , they use Wago clamps
I am from Serbia,
In my country they are used tape ,row clamps and Wago clamps
Those wago clamps are good I've worked with them, connecting wires is fast
Yeah I have a professional electrician coming to do some work for me in a couple days. Some of it I am sure in my younger years I could do myself but not anymore.
Better that way.
