Want to secure your home like a pro? In this video, I show you how to create a DIY IP camera setup for reliable surveillance. From PoE, Wi-Fi, and battery-powered cameras to advanced accessories like Reolink cameras and modular systems, I walk you through everything step by step. Whether you're aiming for 4K Ultra HD monitoring or outdoor surveillance, I’ll help you build the perfect setup for your needs.

Here’s what we cover:
✅ The essentials for PoE, Wi-Fi, and battery camera systems.
✅ How to use routers, switches, and injectors for seamless connectivity.
✅ Storage options: SD cards, NVRs, HomeHubs, and redundancy setups.
✅ Extending Wi-Fi signals with repeaters for optimal coverage.
✅ Tips for integrating cameras into your home network securely.

With my personal setup as an example, you’ll learn how to manage data storage, connect multiple cameras, and expand your system over time. Whether you’re securing an outdoor kitchen or a large property, this guide makes it simple.
