I have some questions for you guys--
I recently bought a 3-camera wireless system, and have now discovered I will get the coverage I was really seeking by adding a wired camera to a tree which will show all of my drive, etc...
(From another topic, I see that changing the wiring on a 'wireless' to a 'wired' will void the warranty--which I don't want, so I'm needing to add a wired camera to my system.)
I've read these posts, and I don't have a clue as to what y-splitters, & the like are.
I want to be able to attach at least 150 foot of cable to the wired camera: to run from the tree, into the house & into my DVD recorder/player (or, tv??) for recording when I'm gone.
Is there already a tab (like on a phone) connector on the camera itself--or just how does this work? Do you simply connect the correct wires at the base of the camera, and then attach the tab to the other end? Or, am I needing the type of connector used for 'cable' & satellite systems--I'm not connecting this to my computer--but to the tv & dvr. & I haven't noticed a 'phone' type port on either unit.
I understand 'wiring' in general--I can match colored wires--
I haven't hooked up the motion detector yet, and after reading several posts--wonder if it is too sensitive for what I'm needing--I've lots of fir & pine trees which move almost constantly in the wind--will this keep the motion detector constantly recording??
I need this system set up--like last week--I've both a crazy next-door neighbor and a relative I'm dealing with--& if I can get them on camera--they're busted for violating restraining orders. Can anyone help me decipher this?
Thanks---
