A few months back the power supply on my Linux based BNC camera system at my shop shit the bed. I took it as a sign to ditch the old analog ways and decided to go with all IP cameras. Also we closed on another building for storage two streets down with roofs that are in direct line of sight of each other, so I planed on tieing in the second building into the same 16ch NVR.
I began pulling all the old analog coax/power cable and replaced it all with solid copper Cat6 and ran a few other lines to new locations. I currently have 6 cams up and running (Five 3MP & One 5MP), & another 3 are still set aside for this building. Additionally I have run a cat6 line up through the access to the roof for the Ubiquiti wireless bridge to aim at the other building about 200yrds away. That building will get an additional 7 cameras to complete the 16ch capacity of my NVR. I ran though one rough draft when terminating the cat6 lines on the data/telephone panel and decided on a new location for the POE router to allow more room for the wall outlet router down below on the panel. I think I did a decent job considering I learned how to terminate Cat6 just for this project. I will update this thread as things get added. Pictures of what I've got so far. Most cameras on this building are 3mp box in weatherproof housings.     Rough Draft (1st location of POE Router)   Location of NVR (underside of the wrap around back portion of my desk)   |

Final POE router location
 NVR has a HDMI output that I split to the 3 TVs in the office areas, this is the one in my office.  Progress as I was setting up  One of my workers close to the camera, detail is amazing. (Resolution is reduced for the 1080 TV)   View from Phone  |

That's VERY nicely done... if you did that all yourself, that's one of the most outstanding DIY efforts I've ever seen.
Seriously.

The Nano station radios are great. setup properly and with line of sight you can easily exceed a 10/100 port. If you have any specific questions let me know. I'm pretty good with them. |

Put the 50" 120hz TV I had in my office upstairs for view of the cameras when working in the A/Ced storage area where we keep all our inventory that needs to stay in low humidity.
HDMI leads downstairs to the NVR's HDMI splitter     New 55" 240hz Samsung to mount in my office once I find those damn shorter screws I had for the wall mount. Worse case I'll cut the screws I have down to proper length.  |

Haven't updated any new camera system work because the outside of the office area in the new building was looking a little ratty as you can see from the upper pictures. So I made a small project out of it this last couple weeks refacing it with some hardie board and 1x6s.
Now all the walls have been painted I can start lining up the zip tie holders around the perimeter to hold the cat6 & alarm wire. Blah  Much better   I've got 100 of these to get lined up a foot apart  ETA: actually the epoxy floor needs to go down first, tile red w/clear top coat. (Internet image)  And the office trim will get a matching red on the 1x6 trim. |

Picked up the cameras for the new building today
Three of these varifocal 3MP IR Bullets   Two of these 2MP PTZs for the interior cam of each building, and a third with a wall mount and neck for the front of the new building.  And two of these 2MP for the front and back door of the new building.  |

Those PTZs are Dahua. I actually have one of those deployed right now.
Use the H.264 setting. The MJPEG setting caused weird artifacts on the video for me. |

Been a bit busy with the other building. Mini Split A/C install, had the floor ground by a pro, and have been repairing the drywall in the office.
I did get the interior PTZ up and running in my office building. After deciding to upgrade to a PTZ that required a POE+ I had to buy a POE+ injector to keep it clean, and run off the same battery backup. The progress on the building... Concrete    A/C compressor  LED ceiling lights came in   POE+ injector install     |

The night performance of that PTZ is quite good, BTW. Consider throwing an area-coverage IR illuminator inside that building... I think you will be pleased.

I finished up redoing the wall outlet router. Previous IT guy left 3 of 8 with shorts....
    The new building had the concrete degreased today and will be epoxied & cleared by the weekend. Then by Wednesday of next week it will be able to handle my manlift so I can start running the cat6 and alarm wires. |

After painting the floor, assembling the cabinets, and setting up the racks I finally have some time to run the cat6 at the new building. With no rafters in this building I had no where to tuck the wires in so I drilled and set a zip tie saddle every foot to make a nice "harness" of it all.
I will be finishing up running this section tomorrow.

Originally I was going to run all the cat6 into the office and mount it all to a panel on the wall like the other building. But I realized I have a "Black Box" Hazard Location electronic cabinet that would be perfect for this. Instead of running the A/c in the office on low 24/7 I can just let the cabinet keep the POE router, Battery Backup and this building wifi router perfectly climate controlled.
