Hard-wired security cameras have several advantages over wireless security camera systems. But ease of installation is not one of them. Today we show you how to install an ONWOTE 4K PoE NVR hard-wired security camera system yourself and help you decide if it is worth the extra effort involved.

DIY Smart Home Guy creates how-to videos for smart home automation centered around Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control.

I have a similar system from Lorex. NVR is in basement. Monitor and mouse in kitchen connected through a KVM transmitter through an extra cat 5e cable that I pulled 20 years ago.
4k? quality looks like a potato show in the 80s. This is why I don’t trust sponsors videos.
Yes, the quality is bad. Though that doesn’t dismiss the possibility of this being 4k. Resolution only defines the upper limit of quality.
That said, I agree, one should look at it with a grain of salt. The Ring doorbell camera clearly shows the face when he’s close. This one, because of the light, does not, since the camera ‘blinds itself’. The face is all-white, except for a single brief moment, during which the motion blur is too severe to make out any details.
A camera that doesn’t allow you to identify a person that you don’t know is pretty useless.
its a great video and would greater if you had just lost the light egg crate reflection in the what looks like a microwave
If at all possible, do NOT use wireless cameras. The high-end houses in my normally extremely safe neighborhood are being broken into by illegal aliens that use a jammer to disable the wireless systems. This is happening across America so it’s not limited to just my area. If you are unable or unwilling to hard-wire your cameras then consider hiring a low-voltage cable installer.
I guess the question is if you want to view it remotely outside of your LAN, you would need cloud access. Does that mean that certain TCP ports would have to be exposed in order to view it remotely (e.g. TCP ports 80/443)? There could be some serious security implications once cloud access is enabled.
I got an unplanned 4k poe camera while the system was running and plugged back in that camera. I never worked until I put a new camera. I don’t know what went wrong. Let me know if you have a clue. Thanks
Does this NVR works with other cameras? I have an existing cameras installed already and just want to change my nvr.
You can use a combination of wired or PoE cameras, and wireless cameras with your own in-house NVR, without a subscription.
Batteries are a pain in the arse, especially if your wireless cameras are installed at some height requiring a ladder. You can buy solar panels to power some cameras (Blink).
Many NVR kits come with just 4 cameras but many can support 8 directly hardwired cameras and even more network attached cameras (wired Ethernet or wireless WiFi).
Thanks for the overview.
Are there any recorder systems that allow one to remote connect to the system from a PC in another room through the local area network (Ethernet or WIFI)? That would be convenient because you could access it from any PC without dedicating a monitor (and perhaps a mouse?) to it, and actually remote connect through the internet to your home without needing a service from the company.
Does Onwote cloud service also ping your mobile device like a ring system?

6:40 that was pretty funny. I lolled
Hardwired in today’s world is the only way to go because criminals have jammers that completely interfere with wireless cameras. I will be changing to a hard wired camera system.
you need a separate monitor for the NVR??? thats insane, i’m sure you can access the feeds just on your PC if its in the same network?
Also my man, just grab a few thick and wide boards to lay on top of the joists so you dont have to mimic a bird
How about a standalone wifi camera to receiver (baby monitor type) then from receiver to bnc that plugs into early type dvr in my case swann brand . Any thoughts people?.
thanks, great overview !!
How do you capture historical recordings? Local data storage?
Yes, it comes with a pre-installed 2TB hard drive for local data storage.
Does anyone wrap the network cable in electrical tape? I’ve seen some installers do this.
