Hi all,
There have been a few robberies nearby, which has left me and my family feeling concerned.
We already have one wired Google Ring-style camera with floodlights, and it’s been working well for years.
I need to add two more cameras, but I’m a bit out of touch with the latest technology.
I’m considering buying two more Google cameras because they would all work in the same app and be easier to manage.
However, when I look at CCTV systems with four cameras, they often work out cheaper.
What I’m trying to work out is:
- Which two additional Google cameras would I need if I want them to be hard-wired rather than battery-powered?
- If I went down the CCTV route, I already have Cat5e cables running exactly where I want the cameras, and I’m using a wired network.
- How could I use the existing wiring to combine both a wired network and a CCTV system?
- I’m hoping to avoid drilling more holes into the house for extra RJ45 cables, so is there some kind of external splitter or similar device that would let me do this?
Thanks for reading.
