    I advise wearing knee pads and a hard hat when working in attics. For years I did as this guy. Then I crawled onto a nail. Another time, I bumped the top of my head on a nail from a shingle. These injuries required a trip to emergency medical services. Since then, I have purchased both, which were inexpensive. Second, it is a good thing to have a half sheet of plywood. You can move it around as needed and either sit or lay on it to work.

    Great video! My only suggestion, is add some survalence cameras that look like surveillance cameras. The deterant factor is the real advantage at preventing a burglary. You want to deter the common criminal. Nothing will stop a pro, nothing less then a S&W 😅.

    I love your installation you do great work. Nice and simple and clean but almost all the installation are in the same type of homes. Attic above the garage where you have plenty of room to run wires. But much older homes are not configured that way so installation is much much more difficult

    Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.

    Be aware when you place a camera under a roof, to check the image quality during night time to verify that the overhanging roof doesn't reflect IR light, reducing image quality significantly. Same goes for wall mounting.

    I guess the new iCloud+ feature: Homekit Secure Video solve this matter perfectly. Question: does your camera support Apple‘s HomeKit?

    • @headsoftech
      @headsoftech  3 роки тому +5

      Nah, they haven't integrated Homekit support yet, just Google and Alexa, but to be honest with you I prefer to keep my security system offline and instead have a secure private VPN based solution for backup and remote access.

      I just used the basic wall plugs provided and they're still holding strong. But, if you're nervous you can always use wallmate anchors instead, they're rated for 10-20kg each.
