Security Cameras
Hello, Does anyone have suggestions on which ones work best with HughesNet gen 5? As I am really wanting some but not sure about them.
I'm successfully using Blink cameras from Amazon. They're cloud based, by default they take a 5 second clip when motion is detected and notify you thru an Android or iPhone app. Of course you can watch the clip thru your tablet or phone.
Do you have the current Modem/ Router combo from HN? The HT2000W.... We have purchased the Blink Security camera kit... Plus 4 addtl cameras...our HN wifi does not reach far enough outside to a specific location on my husband's shop... furthest distance for 2 cameras.... do we need to invest in a third party router ...e. g. Netgear NightHawk x6s 8000, etc.... to get the needed wifi signal or invest in a HN WiFi Signal Booster?
I'm successfully using the HT2000W modem and the Hughes range booster to run 3 cameras on one end of my house. The booster also gives me WiFi connectivity in my separate shop. It's about 100 feet from my shop to the booster, which is mounted high on an inside wall of my attached garage. The signal doesn't penetrate metal buildings at all, which is not surprising.
