Building a house. What do we need to have the builder do so I can mount a few cams on the outside of the house (front porch, back porch, driveway)?

you need an outlet for the cam, discuss whether you have it exterior or interior, we have our cam plugged inside, so had to drill a hole through wall to the exterior where the cam would be hooked up outside.... we had our cam successfully connected to a wired network, but not wireless because of the type of modem we have, so its also important to contact your wireless provider and discuss the type of security camera's you want to use and want to make sure you can access the modem by computer to set up wireless access for the cameras.

it depends on where you are mounting the camera if you install it on the outside of your home just use three wood screws also drill a small hole for the tube to fit into so it will look like you have wire running into your house

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

This is copied from their faq: Can I place my VueZone cameras outdoors? VueZone CB indoor cameras and VueZone CM motion-detection cameras can be placed outside for temporary use such as verifying a package delivery, watching your children, or keeping tabs on your pet while at work. If you intend on placing a VueZone camera outside for an extended period, you will want to place the camera in one of our outdoor shells. Learn more at the VueZone store.

If the camera and receiver are in a protected location where they will not get wet, it can be used outdoors. Examples would be: under the eaves by a front door, under eaves in front of garage, or a covered porch or patio. However, there are two challenges: 1) if you mount the receiver outside, you would have to run the AV cables from receiver to monitor, which would most likely be inside, requiring a longer cable, 2) if you put the camera outside and the receiver inside, you would probably not get a real clear picture, because the signal would have to go through the walls/windows.

Yes you can use these cameras outdoors however they need to be placed under a roof overhang or some kind of cover to protect them from the elements. I've had my system up and running outside for close to 6 months and they are as good as gold.

So...since I answered this question, we have hardwired all our exterior cameras in to our house. That seems to be the solution to our problem. Yay! !!

It is plugged into a regular outlet inside our home and then our electrician drilled through the outside of our home and mounted it. As a sidenote...I highly recommend calling Foscam directly and having them remote into your computer to complete the wireless setup. We purchased a total of four cameras...our intention was to have two mounted on the exterior of our home. We had to send two back...purchased two directly from Foscam...the first is installed and working... Waiting on the second one. The other two were purchased from a company that sells Foscam products.... They were more expensive and both were defective.... Just ordered the second camera today directly from Foscam. Foscam has been so helpful each of the three times we have called to install two cameras. Waiting on the fourth (again.. Note that we only need two but the two we purchased from an outside vendor were defective) camera and hopefully the process will be complete. They will also provide you with the app to download so you can view your cameras remotely...be sure to have them set up port forwarding on your wireless router or you will only be able to see your video feed when connected to WiFi. Hope this helps. Overall....we could not have completed this installation without Foscam support... I did not feel that the instructions that came with the camera were enough, but then again I am not an IT expert and by calling them....you will alleviate any potential headaches.

when you buy the camera make sure it says ''infrared'' for if it dose it should have a category of pic or video. If it dosebuy it.it will take video clips at night when the motion detector is triggered. If your using it for surveillance add more cammo nettingto the camera to break up image. Use rubber cement to attach extra cammo netting. Drill a hole in the back and attach it to tree with a power tool.it works! tauz

Mine came with... Camera, wall and ceiling mounts, 60' of BNC cable, BNC to RCA adapter, PTZ wired remote control, instructions, window stickers and mounting screws. I bought two and put them under the eves at opposing front and rear corners of my house.(front right & left rear) This gives me a view that covers all of my property. They are great cameras!!!

You can install the base in any position, verticle or horizontal, ceiling or wall. You then adjust the camera and aim the area you want to cover.

Jeff there are inside outside corners available and also window and door trims that I suggest you use. You can also use a ledger if you are not going to the top. The nexstone web site has all the info there too. If you have switches or electrical plugs there are special boxes you will have to purchase.

Obstructions/trees and other factors come into play with this - honestly only you can answer that question - we have a similar size house and property is large and only have two cameras based off the front of the house - porch and driveway - but then that's us. Best of luck - they're good cameras we'll say that for sure!

Jaya pretty much covers the setup perfectly; couple of things I did were to cover the camera connections in a larger piece of electrical shrink-wrap, to keep out moisture, and scrounged a wall flange for the cables from a local Cable TV installer. The other was to have one camera in overview mode, on top of the house. Faces need to be within about 15-20 feet or less to be really recognizable, and about 5' at night with the LED illumination, so bear this in mind when you install.

This camera has to have a power source. I ran an outside extension cord and weather proofed the connection for outside use.
