Lol. We looooove electrical videos. 😂
it’s not so bad.
Great job 👏
That's cool
I like your work on anything,you make it very interesting for me, I'm 73 years old and I used to work for furniture manufacturing for most of my working life I miss the feeling the tool and the nail guns and upholstere and sewing machine , watching you work with the tools is very interesting! I'm a woman!
Me too Vivian, like you I'm an older lady ,and I really enjoy watch him work its fascinating. Stay safe and well from the North Norfolk coast UK
Thank you both for the support and watching.
Don't forget speaker wiring! Need that so that your TVs outside can really broadcast that audio from those football games being played on those TVs, music from your favorite radio station or music from your favorite streaming service. Nothing worse than watching TV or listening to the radio and the audio is muffled and sounds likes its playing from a tunnel. Wouldn't worry too much about speakers for inside but for sure on that awesome patio.
I use to do that for a living, so I know all about it. To be honest, Bluetooth speakers have came such a long way. I can no longer justify the expense and time of a outdoor audio system when a single Bluetooth setup can get louder than we ever need.
Years ago I ran SMURF tube in some walls for future options. BAM!! technology caught up before I ever needed to use the empty lines....so I suppose now they are a runway for little bugs that may have made a home in there!!! JAHA
I do tech support for most of the internet providers. Your best one is going to be Starlink. The other ones that are near you have huge issues esp with the weather and not many access points.
You have to do what’s right for you and let’s face it Internet and cable is constantly changing. Tfs:)
Get it done
You doing are great. Moving along. Whatever it takes I’m glad to watch the progress
Thank you
Cool, a wiring video! LOL!
Thought I'd try something new! 😉
No Andrew w I love learning what you teach thank u..
Thank you for watching
GOOD JOB ANDREW. LOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLAIN TO US. I AM NOT BUILDING ANYTHING. I JUST LOVE TO WATCH OTHERS BUILD THINGS.
Thank you
I love the electrical videos! It's something that's always interested me.
Glad you enjoyed it
20+ years of experience in networking - Yes sir, you did a fine job, however I would be lying if my butt did not pucker a bit when you stapled the wires. You really don't have a option before drywall, honestly it will be fine. You are 100% correct about Wifi, though I prefer wired for work ( I work in IT). I personally would have gone with Cat5e, as they both can handle a gig to the device. Cat5e is cheaper and easier to punch down and patch cables are easy to obtain ( I am splitting hairs here). None of this is criticism, just observation.
Network cable is obviously not as ridged as Romex, so when you have your drywall guys come in you need to make sure you have a tight coil in the very back of the box, or better yet tie a knot in the last two inches of the cable and pull the slack back into the wall cavity (you are going to loose the last two inches when striping the wire. When they plunge cut the outlet boxes they will chew the network cable up. Sorry for the long comment.
Thank you for the information. As for stapling. All wire was loose and could be pulled freely. It's just there to keep the wire from sagging.
I totally agree with not stapling, but I now run Cat-6 exclusively. Don't forget to add an extra jet-line to each vertical box.
I thought about the you the other day. I was on the highway and passed a small flatbed truck with 16 stacks of 250' rools 12/2 romex, with 15 rolls per stack. I'm surprised they didn't have an armed escort :)
Lol, tell me about it
Go!
An elecktrafied room upstrairs.. Is vre6 cool
I don’t know if anyone has already said anything, but I would run 3 runs to each tv location because you can send hdmi over cat6 and you can also send audio via Ethernet. Cat6 is very versatile and is (well was) significantly cheaper than hdmi cable
I'm slowly learning about the benefits of it.
@@TKCL sorry the comment was late I watched the next video an saw you already installed the hdmi. I am enjoying following along with your build. Makes me want to get into the shop and make things
Don’t be too worried about power interference. Cat 6 in its design has shielding created by the magnetic field. In a house, you won’t notice anything. Shielded cable will introduce the possibility of interference from radio stations if not installed correctly.
Thank you for the information
Andrew I’ve been watching a person on CZcams for Quite sometime he’s building his own house and when he gets done he can sit back with his wife have an adult beverage and say he built his own house all by his self with very little help and I know this man is going to be very proud of himself in the future and all of your viewers are very proud of you this guys name is Andrew
He sounds like a cool dude 😉
Hi, Andrew! You never bore me! I learn a lot from you. You’re an excellent teacher.
Thank you
You probably already have, or too late. But think about running RG6 quad shield cable to your LV boxes. Nice for over the air TV with a roof/attic mount antenna. Can just coil in attic for now to add antenna in attic later on.
Cheapest electrical item you’ll have in that house! Ha Ha! Just a little time added since you already drilled for CAT6
good job Andrew, everything makes sense.my split AC on my efficiency apartment was damaged so I'm a couple days out.
I love watching every episode and am very glad you show it all. I have learned more about building a house from your videos than any one elses. I watch just because I LOVE learning so thank you very much
Thank you, glad to hear that
I appreciate you explaining things to us. Some folks probably know all of this and it might be a bit boring. As for me, I am learning so much. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was a bit worried about how you were going to run the ethernet cabling...but you did an excellent job on that!
Personally I would have went with CAT7 or CAT8 to future-proof upgrades...and I don't use wifi so I'm a bit biased.
But you will be using wifi more heavily that I would so CAT6 will run your network just fine.
Electrical wiring is very important. Yes, there is a lot of wiring in a house, but It is like building the foundation to the house. It has to be done right or you will have issues to deal with later. Once this step is done, you get to enjoy the benefits of your energies for the rest of your life in that house. You have done an exemplary job installing the wiring.
Fantastic job on the Cat 6 wire runs. You used the correct wires and employed the best practices on running wires to your outlets and APs. In reality, with the size of your house, one access point would have served your needs. With your set up though, you will be good through out the interior and your awesome porch and future pool/hot tub area. You planned well for your internet connectivity throughout the build. Networking is what I do for a living and I approve. I am actually jealous. I liked the video. Keep it up! Just curious, are you planning to run a line to your shop?
Thank you very much! As for the shop, no! I'll leave my cell booster out there and run my 4g lte for streaming music ect.
Sure did😎
I love that you're labeling your Ethernet wires as you run them. Just don't do what some idiot did when I wired our building at work for IP cameras. My job was to run the wire through the building and the IT guys were going to terminate it on their patch panel. I left the wires extra long because I didn't know exactly where they were putting the patch panel and I numbered all the wires and put the numbers on a building map so they would know which wire went where. The first thing the guy did after he mounted the patch panel was pull all the wires to that general vicinity and chop off the extra length which had all of my labels on it. That made all of my labeling and my map completely useless and nobody has any idea which wire goes where.
Lol 🤦
Andrew looking good and ready for StarLink.🙏
Run the ethernet now. With how pervasive wifi jammers are you do not want to leave yourself exposed to that type of "attack." Also if, one day, you go with local NVR storage, such as Ubiquiti products, having dedicated hard-wired connections will be a blessing. While your walls are open, run everything you can and then some.
I did run the whole house
Hi Andrew 🙂 I loved the video. The electrical is coming along and you are doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to the HVAC installation. Take care and God bless. 🌞
Thank you, God bless
You may not need so many 'hot-spots' for I-Net. I use a Netgear, Nighthawk R6900 router connected to my Cable Modem. I have it near the center of my house, up near the ceiling. It has 4 'hard-wire' connections and "Wi-Fi" It covers my entire 2385 sq ft house and even into the back yard. Just an FYI :-)
That's good to know, chances are I'll never connect all of these wires.
For wifi outdoors instead of the actual access point outside look for one that that is set up for use with an outdoor antenna. Then you can just have the box indoors and just the antenna ran cable ran outside and with right antenna you’ll even pick it up at you shop. Then no need for separate internet at shop.
Thank you
Great progress on the electrical in the house.
Thank you
Have you thought about a power plug in the ethernet cabinet for the switch and or router saves running more external cables later?
I have, but it will be extremely easy to do at any time.
You are making the exact right choices for your cat6 and WiFi extensions. Your neighbors aren't close enough to pick up your broadcast, and you can always set your router to hide your WiFi SSID. To further mask it from sight.
Good to know, thanks!
If I was building a house today, I don't think I would install any Ethernet cabling. Everything works on WiFi. As for network security, out where you are, I don't see a problem. Bit different in a city, in high rise living. A friend of mine just installed some security cameras that are totally wireless. Run for at least 3 months before the camera needs recharging.
I have similar cameras myself
Heyyy Andrew and Tiffany. Mate, its not all about being tired of seeing electrical videos. Its also about doing what is needed to complete the job, so that you can move on to the next phase of the building.
I'm sure people would complain if you made a few days of electrical videos and then no other videos for the remaining 2 weeks. It doesn't work that way.
The electrical is a crucial part of the building and although it is mostly the same, there are some different aspects to the job throughout, that still make it interesting and enjoyable to watch. We will watch 100 more hours of electrical if need be. Love from Jack and Family
Thank you!
A few tips from a guy who has been pulling wire for 20 some years: make your holes bigger, if you think you need one wire, pull 2 or more, invest in a good label maker that wraps the wire, label both ends, draw a diagram, run wires for appliances and other devices.
Add some empty conduit to the front porch for future.
You can actually cross ethernet at 90 degrees (perpendicular) to power, you just don't want to run parallel due to magnetic induction, equipment damage can result. Most the things I've read no less than 6 inches for shielded, at at least 12 inches of separation for unshielded. Be sure to do a few practice terminations as terminating the shielding cable properly is quite important. Great video!
Brother, Jet-line is super cheap to run vertically right now with those low-voltage runs to possibly prevent a massive headache later when replacing/adding.
I wish I could give you advice, but I suppose you get enough of it anyway. Glad you're getting it done. Looking great. God Bless
Thank you for watching, God bless
Good job on network wiring but get those staple off that cat 6. One Access Point will covet the entire building.
Those staples are barely touching the wire. I can literally pull it freely under the staple.
You should look into Unifi for your router and wifi access points. Great wifi coverage.
Hi Andrew you should not use nail in fixings on cat 6 as the diameter should not be crushed as this will affect the performance
Every wire was left loose and could be pulled freely.
Doing good Andrew. Just FYI. I have a new dsl WiFi 6 modem and I am getting 500+ feet range it does 2.5 and 5 bands. I agree the wireless has come along way
Good to know
4etro 1955😎
network eng here. word of advice, do not run your cameras on wifi. Run a 5e to each camera location, run PoE, and get all that traffic off your wifi network. Wifi is great for bursty web traffic, but your wifi cameras will be clogging your wifi network up. It's also SIGNFICANTLY more reliable.
I'm not upset about more electrical work.. I'm excited to see your subscriber count jumped. I'm just hoping that you reach 40K subscribers before you have to belly flop on a kiddy pool of ice water. I'm thinking your live stream viewers might be behind that!
Lol what? Yall making plans behind my back again? 😁
Be sure to stay with 100 meters max on cat6 runs. ~300 feet
Won't be a problem on a house this size
I will buy the 80inch TV for the living room
OK this is sounding better
@@TKCL my buddy works for Bose sounds system so we are getting 5000 watts surround sound system wireless for the 80ninch TV
Oh lord 🤦
you could run something called an hospitality/inwall ap (TP-Link EAP235-Wall or similar) that fit over a single gang box that broadcasts wifi and offers a hardwire port on the bottom. I put those behind just about every tv i install so they have wifi as well as hardwired without seeing a bunch of AP's on the ceiling.
Awesome, thank you!
@@TKCL tp-link also makes outdoor ap's that work on the same controller or can be self managed.
you can install a home network off a sim card with something like a cradle point router, they take the sim card and turn it into something like a normal residential modem.
That's cool!
Just want you to know, I'm an IT industry vet (25 years) with a family of 4 and at least 3 of every internet device you can imagine and I only ran 8 drops of ethernet in my house. You have more than enough. I'll also add, that if you get a mesh wireless setup you can extend the wifi anywhere there is a power outlet. Eero is the one I use but there are plenty of options. You seem like you do a lot of good research so you probably knew all of this but just wanted to put it out there.
I've seen those recently and I'm intrigued by them.
@@TKCL stay away from mesh if you have the opportunity to hardline each AP. Mesh is only useful when you absolutely need to extend coverage and have no wired backhaul. Backhauling over wifi, even on a dedicated channel, will slow the wifi network down.
You also need to be careful with running too many AP's. 3 is fine as you can easily separate the channels (1,6,11 on 2.4) and not have interference. After 3 it gets a lot more complicated. Wifi is an artform, seriously.
The only reason to separate your Cat6a and the electrical is the NEC and your electrical inspection. Technologically speaking, so long as we are talking residential level voltages, Cat5 and Cat6 could care less about an induced 60 Hertz AC electrical current in the microvolt range. AC filtering at the mini and microvolt level is built into almost every electronic device you can buy as a consumer. Cat 6 is rated for (off the top of my head so don't quote me) something like 1A (dc) at almost 60V. Now if you have like a dozen electrical cables bundled up with some Cat6 in a tight bundle you might have an issue. You did fine running it. You avoided and kicks or tight bends. I see some people worried about the staples on Cat6. Cat6 and Cat6a has good compressive durability. Meaning so long as you do not pound it like you are trying to do damage, the staples should be fine.
Regarding the outside wifi access point, remember there is a difference between inside and outside access points. Make sure that you get an outside access point for the outside. Personally I recommend using the Ubiquity Unifi system. For homes, small and even medium size businesses, especially if you are not an IT worker or a computer power user, the Unifi system makes it much easier to manage. Two Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points, a Ubiquiti Unifi central switch (possibly with PoE if you want to hard wire some cameras) and you should be good to go.
Regarding wireless vs wired. The number one thing to understand. And It boggles my mind how many networking guys I have worked with over the years who do not understand this, is bandwidth management. I will describe bandwidth management in human terms and then extrapolate as to why you want hard wiring as much as possible. Bandwidth, contrary to how it is depicted by ISPs who try to sell your their internet access service, is not the speed of your connection. The internet has been designed since the beginning to multitask. A network connection (generally speaking) is always active. Its always transmitting something even if that something is just the "I'm still here signal" and an empty data stream full of zeros. This is (keeping it simple) why the lights on the ethernet ports of your switch/router/hub light up as soon as a device is connected and is powered. Its always transmitting something.
So your bandwidth is always fully occupied in electrical terms, however in digital electronic terms its "empty" as in its all 0s. In human terms, bandwidth is like the width the mouth of a river as it connects to the ocean. Water is always flowing. But the amount of physical stuff in the water varies from the normal almost empty. At other times it might be full of debris. Or full of fish if a large school of fish try to swim through the mouth of the river. But the entire "bandwidth" of the river is always fully occupied (keeping it simple and not talking about floods or droughts).
Now imagine there is a landslide that pushes a large amount of physical material into the river at once. The area around the mouth of the river is going to get chaotic. Dangerous. And object passing through might be disrupted, destroyed, thrown to the shore and slowed down.
That is the issue with wifi in the modern setting. Each of those access points no matter how many wireless devices connect to it, still only have 1 river mouth, ie 1 cat6a cable at 1Gbps to carry the data to and from all the connected wifi devices. Right now, I am single and am alone in my apartment. I avoid wifi devices like the plague (you would laugh at the 1 km or so of Cat6a in my small apartment). I just glanced and I have around 10 wifi devices connected to my access point (they are all mine). My bedroom Roku, my personal cell, my work cell, some wireless controls I have to turn on and off some medical equipment I have and so on.
No multiply that by the number of people in your household. and then factor in any smart home devices you implement (when I move I plan on adding a bunch of those). I went to my Aunt's house a couple of months ago. She lives with her two kids and her granddaughter. They had over 40 devices connected to their cheapo comcast router. And they asked me why their wireless gets laggy. I explained this. We set some hard wiring in place to take some of the static location devices off the wifi and I added an access point upstairs on a different ethernet. And they saw dramatic improvement.
Good read, thank you for the information. As for us, we just are not into technology like people think. Two phones, 1 laptop and a roku. That's it! I think modern wifi will service us greatly.
@@TKCL that's fine. I like your channel a lot, so don't take my information and suggestions as demands. I really just want to see you guys succeed.
Thank you very much
🔌
Keep cables vcool
Love the video. This is a question about putting the wires on the end. Will that get in the way of trimming the spray foam insulation down or is that not a concern?
I'll tuck them in when the time comes if that's what the installers need.
Andrew, are you in Florida or Oklahoma? You are doing great job with the house.
Florida
2wee cool? 😃
Built in in 1995..
Rogrr
.
A room?
Why the piece of square tubing projecting off the metal truss. You going to cut if off. I have seen you duck it a few times now.
There is a support that bolts to that. It's either being put back or I'm going to come up with something different down the road.
Starlink should be available in your area now check it and see if it is. If so you better go ahead and get your name in the hat because they have limited spots.
I pre paid months ago, they are suppose to bill the rest and ship out the equipment automatically.
@@TKCL good deal
do you have to put blocking above wall between attic and room ?
I'm assuming you are talking about blocking that's just above my 8fy blocking, fire blocking? In that case no, the spray foam qualifies as a draft control for fires.
How? How is that?
Andrew, I will start by apologizing if you already know the information I am about to share, but I would be remiss if I didn't share some things while you are still at the stage in construction where you can easily make some changes. I am a certified Project Management Professional and I manage Air Traffic Control networking support engineers and while not presently active (Directors don't work on equipment) I have been a Cisco Certified Network Associate and designed several safety-critical network systems. So, enough of my background; here is what I need to tell you: You are correct that wi-fi has come a long way. New routers are able to run three wi-fi channels with beam forming technology and can use channel combining to achieve transfer rates of up to 3 Mbps. However, you will quickly find this bandwidth getting overwhelmed, especially if you add a security camera or two. The reason for this is that internet content size is growing just as fast as router capabilities. 4K TV uses a LOT of bandwidth, and 8K hit the stores last year, doubling the bandwidth needed. Security Cameras (even the low-end ones) now have HD resolution and they send out two signals - HD resolution and low resolution. Cell phones, tablets, and computers constantly send and recieve information, whether you are using them or not. So many things now use Internet: Smart Televisions, Stereo Systems, Garage Door Openers, Kitchen appliances, security systems, telephones, printers, sprinkler systems, solar power systems, even some of my outdoor lighting is controlled via internet, this quickly eats into the wi-fi bandwidth. In my house I have run Cat6 cable to every high-bandwidth device (TV's, computers, stereo recievers, the house music system, my VPN and home automation servers, and 10 security cameras and the security server (required for IP security cameras to work). This provides a cable path for the highest bandwidth users so they don't eat up the wi-fi. However, you are going to need more than just the cables. Ethernet requires a device to join the cables together. A cable modem or DSL modem typically gives you only one RJ-45 output. (On modern units it should be at least Gigabit speed). [Tangent - Gigabit or 10 Gigabit speed sounds like a huge amount of bandwidth but you will never see that amount of throughput. This is because Ethernet is a "Collision Based" networking protocol. That means that devices do not check the port to see if another device is already sending a message, so multiple signals 'talk over' each other and have to re-send. This is a good reason to seperate devices into sub networks as much as possible - Tangent Off]. Coming from the Cable or DSL modem RJ45 port you will connect to a wi-fi router. (This can be supplied from the Cable/Telephone company or you can provide your own for more control of your network). The Wi-fi router will have the antennas for wi-fi, one RJ-45 Uplink port (to the modem) and four or five RJ-45 Ethernet ports (allowing you to connect only 4 or 5 Ethernet cables). In order to connect more cables you will need to purchase an Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet Switch will have one or two ports (Uplinks) that connect to the router (2 can give you combined speed) and you can get as few as 4 or as many as 96 or more additional ports (just depends on how big a switch you get). You can also puchase Ethernet switches with PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports. These are great for the security cameras because you don't have to run power to them. The Ethernet Switch also restricts traffic flow to only the portions of your network that need it. For example, my security cameras and security server are on a single, 24 port POE Ethernet Switch. The constant video feeds from the camera are only needed by the Security server so the switch keeps that traffic off of its uplink port to the router. I use a seperate switch to connect the servers and televisions to the router. This keeps the bandwidth manageable. However, that is a lot of boxes to have (Modem, Wi-Fi router, POE Switch, TV Switch, Server Switch, Security Server) and each box requires power (POE Switch requires two AC plugs) and they require airflow to stay cool. I run all of these boxes on a large UPS both to keep them running during power outages and to protect them from power surges. I have an air-conditioned attic like you, and that is where I installed the Ethernet equipment. The Telecommunications industry uses standard 19" wide steel racks and most equipment is designed to mount in these racks. I nailed in two 2x4's in the attic 19" apart and mounted the patch panels "(Amazon); C" and shelves to hold the devices. I used two of these patch panels. The top patch panel has all of the incoming cables from security cameras, televisions, all the devices, etc. The bottom patch panel connects the cables to internet devices (routers, switches, PoE, modem). You can then use CAT6 patch cables to connect between the two panels, between panels and devices, etc., and manage changes, install new cables, etc., without have to re-do anything. If you change a device or have a bad port on a device, you can just move the patch cable to a different slot.
Sorry for the long drawn out comment, but when I saw the low voltage box that you have mounted in your wall I wondered how you were planning to connect those Ethernet cables, why there were so few cables, and where you would put your devices for connectivity. Remember, Internet speeds and bandwidth needs tend to double every 5 years, and even though wi-fi has advanced and will likely keep up, you have to update to a new router AND all of your devices have to be upgraded at the same time in order to take advantage of the new protocols/technologies. Cable is always there!
Also, while you don't have Ethernet right now, you can still benefit from a home network. You can set up an entertainment server to play all your DVD's, videos, music, etc., to your TV and other devices (you can select on-screen from a menu of your media).
As for Ethernet, ask your cell phone provide if they can set you up with a Pico Cell. I use Pico cells in my overseas networks. They can give you 5G always-on Internet from the cell company.
Very good information, thank for taking the time to explain.. I can always move back to the attic, now or later. I also will still have access to half of the house (porch included) after the house is complete. So future add ons are not out of the question.
Hello Mike,
Do you think an initial foundation based on the Unifi Dream Machine Pro platform along with this rack panel and jacks ...

Would serve Andrew's current and future needs in a cost effective manner? or can you suggest something more appropriate 🤔
Thanks
Some truth in here, as well as some absolute fiction. Collisions? Do you seriously still use a hub? Switches have all but eliminated collision domains since the late 90's. WiFi has way more propensity for collisions than switched ethernet. Beamforming/mimo is more focusing the radio waves than combining them. Channel width is more where you get faster speeds combining channels. Anyway, Andrew can figure this all out on his own.
I absolutely agree to hardwire as much as possible. Long term you'll be glad you did. Cat5e is cheap, readily available. Just get solid copper not the cladded crap
Just a question, why did you go with networking cables instead of just going wireless? 🤔 Are you going to run ccoaxfor the TVs?
You can just put one wireless access point outside and just put it at that corner of the house so it will reach the front and side patio.
I hear you on the Internet speed. At the old house so it could only get 5mbps with one megabit up which is more like 4 and about .5 upload and it was costing me about $65 a month. Here I can get Xfinity and it’s $35 bucks a month for 50 mbps and five Mbps upload.
I run all my TVs off of Wi-Fi now and I don’t have any problem with it, the Wi-Fi connection is faster than the Internet and is about the same as cat6. Technically with the cable or you could go up to 10 GB which is a faster than your wireless but wireless can still go 600 MB and you’d be lucky to get much over 100 for your Internet service. TVs will run fine off of anything over 10 mb but if you’re running multiple TVs streaming different stuff or if you were going to have some sort of computer gaming party you might go 100 MB, but unless you get some crazy full GB Internet service Wi-Fi would be fine. But sometimes TVs or devices can be a little picky or a pain so hard wiring might be easier. Realistically though the network card and your TV is probably not gonna be too fast and it will probably all be faster than your Internet so either way will work.
Just covering my bases, I do an for everything to be wireless.
your planing have starlink internet annt.? in your area. if you where put the anntenna on the roof and cable ?
No through roof penetrations for me, I can easily run under the soffit and up into the attic.
No funny lookin' insulation..🤙
Where did you get your 6A cable? Getting ready to run Ethernet for our house that is under construction.
From Amazon
@@TKCL is it POE? Or is all 6A POE?
Wi fi??😜
Plenum rated?
No, riser cable
Dont do blow i n.. Kkep it a room..
Dont b)oe in..
For some reason my comment got completely deleted.. It was networking related but oh well..
Did it have a link? CZcams is not link friendly, unless it's another CZcams link.
@@TKCL Some of these devices are even put inside boxes on top of towers that are 70 feet in the air.. Just remember the limitation of cat 6 is like 200 feet ish.. You start getting wonky things with large file transfers after that at Gigabit speeds.
@@TKCL Wow it still removed my first comment before this! This is crazy!!
With my google fi I get 150 mbps down and 50 to 60 mpbs upload and you can order a data only card from them also you can add a backup sim and if you do get starlink down the road you can plug it into another port on the router as well.. These are often used out in remote areas to help with internet stability..
@@LorenTedford do they have data caps? I use several hundred gigs a month download and especially upload with my CZcams.
Wireless cameras can be easily jammed. I think you're making a mistake there, but you should be fine for the average low IQ thief.
What will easily take care of that idiot is I'm ALWAYS home and carry something that doesn't jam.
