a good starter kit for video enthusiast

This is a good kit for beginners getting into videos. It is not the best money can buy but it is good bang for the buck. Canon m6ii is light weight and compact. It is small enough to fit in your pants while having multiple features of its bigger brother R5. For lens, the 22mm pairs nicely with the m6ii. Even though it is small, the lens features an whopping aperture of F 2.0. As the m6ii lacks built in stabilization, a stabilizer is highly recommended for buttery smooth footages. The DJI RSC stabilizer has proven itself to be a worthy companion to stabilize any mirrorless camera.

ethernet, CAT5, POE, and IP cameras tool

We love Fluke tools and use them daily for various installations. This toner and and probe kit is no different. They are powered by a single 9V battery, in each tool, that seems to last forever. We use them to sniff out, not only CAT5 cables, but also coax and various cables. Once found, the probe also has a cable mapper to verify no faults.

add more cameras, wirelessly

We understand running wires to some places can be extremely challenging. If you have strong WIFI signal, wireless camera is the last resort. Here’s a very nice wireless camera from Amcrest. As with other Amcrest cameras, this wifi camera can record to microSD card, NVR, or to Amcrest’s cloud service (for a monthly fee). While it is outdoor rated, it is small enough to be installed indoor as well.

ultra clear 4K IP camera

We love Amcrest IP cameras for their versatility. With ONVIF, the cameras can be mixed and matched to work with other cameras or recorders. By itself, it can record videos onto microSD card, cloud, or FTP. There is no monthly fees unless you opt for the cloud recording. While local record is 4K Ultra clear, cloud recording is only up to 720p.
