Clean up your wiring mess

I spent the weekend ( a few weeks ago ) cleaning up a huge wire mess. Over time I just let the rats nest get out of control.

For less then $400.00 I purchased some Leviton products and got the job done.

I documented the project on my blog..Photos, product#, etc.:

Do you have a list of what equipment you have?

 

Starting with this posting:

then the next 10 posts list product, pricing and where I purchased everything. If you have any questions or ideas, I would be happy help...

Thanks,

The next post after that talks about the PS3...

 

The postings go newest to oldest.
I used the leviton 42" enclosure:

For cat 5 and phone I bought the 24-port structured media panel.

Other items include:

The whole job was under $400. See the results at:

Thanks

 

All I see for parts is the enclosure, and a few misc ones.

 

In my case I needed:
the Leviton 42 inch enclosure
24-port structured media panel - used for ethernet and phone wiring.
Multi-media Adapter bracket ( part 47612mma ) I used to mount my router, nas device, cable modem, and misc devices..
8 way splitter from Control Cable for all my video runs. Both Sat. and cable tv.

This is all I had to buy to get my job done.

Do you have specific needs I could help you with? Are you planning a project? Give me an idea of your situation and I will see if I can help.

best wishes...

 

Oh. I see where we were getting mixed up.
I don't have any specific needs, I just wanted to see what equipment you had in there..
One thing that I need to eventually do is get some security cameras, and they need to be accessible from any place that has an internet connection, but I am still trying to figure out how to do that.
I was thinking about streaming them to a website and having a log in. I dont know. Any ideas?

 

A while back, I had a Dlink camera that had a web server ( so to speak ) built into it. It had pan, tilt, and zoom features. I just opened a port on my router and I could access it from anywhere...even a cell phone!

I am sure they have come along way since I played w/ one...I think it was around 300.00.

Do you have a link to one?

 

I think it was a 5000 series camera like this:

That is kind of what I am looking for, but I need four. Is there a system that does something similar?

 

Dlink has software that will support upto 16 of those cameras

 

Thanks,
I will do some poking around and see what I can see.
Thanks again.
