" ... It is best to ensure that wire cannot be cut by an intruder. ... "
" ... A Perfect example is the power cable with it’s 13/16” diameter plug that will not fit through an existing 3/4” diameter electrical conduit opening requiring drilling out the opening with a 7/8” masonry hammer drill bit on a ladder up about 20’. ... "
" ... Just be sure that you choose the right location with consideration of the hole, length of cable and electrical outlet. ... "
" ... My particular location for the camera allowed for an easy connection to power that the power cord is hidden, so all you see is the camera. ... "
" ... We had to drill some rather large holes in our house in order to hide the cables and whatnot cleanly. ... "
" ... Long cord which is typically what you need outdoors. ... "
" ... While the tradeoff is that you have to find an elegant way to route that wire so it looks unobtrusive, in my opinion that's way better than having to replace batteries endlessly on something mounted high outside your house. ... "

" ... So cams went from being good and easy to use to not being able to use them at all, could not zoom in or out or move pic around and everything started going to my E-mail, so had several dozen e-mails a day on movement witch got old fast. ... "

" ... To me this feels like buying a vacuum cleaner, that works for a month as advertised, then sends you a message saying you can no longer store any dirt in the vacuum, and the motor will no longer turn as fast, and will only be functional as a heavy broom at best until you purchase the subscription to the hardware you already purchased and own. ...
