  1. I'm somewhat new to these remote internet setups, From what I can tell, with every power outage where the modem and router go down, they come back up with a new IP address. (Unless you have a static IP) Is there any way to lessen the changes with the dynamic IP by using something like at UPS (uninterruptable power supply) ? Has anyone tried a UPS for this purpose? Will it work?

    How to keep outdoor camera connectors dry?

    Ok, Great info with the WP junction boxes or the silicone tape! I take it that everyone agrees that bare connectors out in the weather are a no-no. right?
  3. As a newbie to cctv I am curious how one keeps the outdoor camera connections dry. Looking at several brands like Lorex, Night Owl, or Q-see, I see a lot of BNC connectors or RCA type jacks, plus the outdoor power connections. The Lorex uses a telephone type clip jack. With all these I see tremendous opportunities for water getting into the connections, as none appear to be water proof. With outdoor cameras and no weatherproof enclosure, how does one keep the connectors dry? know these cameras are used in millions of applications worldwide, so it can't be but so complicated. Right?
