options to stream 1080p to an NVR in the attic?

sk8board

Hi,

I'm keen to set this up myself, but before I buy something like this https://domar.com/1-all-in-one-4-channel-poe-built-in-full-hd-mini-nvr-complete-system-px1-1f-4c.html ), I have a quick question

I can use PoE to connect the camera directly to my router, but can I plug in the NVR elsewhere in the house and stream to it using my wifi network?

I won't have any Wi-fi signal issues, its strong all over the house.
thanks

It's hard to know if that would work or not . You would need to add a WiFi adapter to the nvr and you would be configuring all devices within your home network IP range.

Just be aware that high temps in the attic over the 'summer' months will shorten the life of equipment there, particularly anything that already includes a fan for cooling.

bought and installed the domar dome camera and 4-channel NVR at the weekend.
I ended up installing the camera under the eve of hte house and using fishing wires to pull the PoE cable into the converted attic.
I'll keep an eye on heat, but after the first few days of solid operation its not getting very warm. I'll raise it up a little higher by putting it on some sort of legs.

as for the 1080p camera itself, the quality is fantastic and set-up was pretty easy, motion detection, email alerts with pic, streaming to phone/ipad too etc..

set & forget.

It's when the attic gets warm that problems may arise as the NVR tries to cool itself in an area of very high ambient temp.
