===============================



Like many of you, I'm thankful that I found this place. I've learned a ton, and its a well run enjoyable place to hangout filled with a bunch of good folks who are always willing to spend your money help you out.

So in the spirit of the season, (and because my wife is threatening to leave if I don't get rid of some of the stuff in the garage) I thought I'd pass along some cameras that I've used for testing lately. Frankly I'm outta places to put another camera, so I'm hoping someone else can put them to good use.
Thanks to Andy @EMPIRETECANDY for allowing me to test them and pass along to a fellow member who can put them to work.

I have three 4MP cameras as shown in the pictures below for 3 lucky winners

Whadda I gotta do to win? Lets keep it simple

Great idea and very nice of you to give the camera's away !
Unfortunatly i'm from the Netherlands so i'm not eligable.
Good luck with the drawing !
 
Nice idea! I don't qualify as my slave lives in Brexitland so I'll just say that I would put it at the top of the rabbit warren in our back yard and hope that he will take the hint if he reads this. I love rabbits, even if they do make me sleepy.

I How do you find how many post? Is it actually starting one or in a conversation? Anyway I'd place it at my sister in laws since she found her gas cap off and hanging on her car.
 
Okay, I'm in..
Wow Samantha has some Kool looking blue eyes. I miss my orange tabby, his name was Demien and he lived up to his name..

You have 26, posts, you're good
 
If I win I'd install it on my shed I just built this summer. I need coverage of the yard back there. Already have Ethernet run out and a POE switch installed!

If I won the PTZ I would put it above the front door of the house to look around a bit.

If I was the fortunate winner of one of these fine pieces of equipment. I would set the cam up on my inground pool to alert me of any critters who might fall in. Or any intruders who might take a dip. Finally I would take videos of my fine wife sunbathing and swimming naked in said pool and send them to you.

Well as you know I have been given the significant other imposed do not buy another camera mantra. So it would be great if i told her how nice this stranger i never met, on this crazy website about cameras, just decided out of the blue (iris that is) to send me a free PTZ mini camera to help in my system rebuild. But wait Honey listen to me, he didn't just go buy this PTZ, and I know you don't know what the hell a PTZ is, but just listen. He got it for free to test, from some guy he never met, he doesn't even know this guy himself, and guess where this guy he never met lives Honey. THATS RIGHT CHINA how did you know that omg Honey how did you know that. NO everything is not made in china Honey your being condescending right now. Listen all he is going to do is pick my text and after reading about how great my life partner is who said til death do we part, NOT til if you buy another camera do we part, and send me a PTZ camera for nothing, nada, gazero, (eyes rolling) :rolleyes: i know that isn't a word Honey, for free ok.

LOL I saw that cat overboard emergency response. I had never seen a cat walk on water before. :lmao:
 
Installed to my eve near my front door. Gotta catch all those creepers at the stop sign.
 
I'd put it at our remote cabin in Virginia (elevation 3,800 feet), to watch the snow, and watch for trespassers. I already have three of Andy's cameras to take up there in a couple of weeks, but another one would be great!!

And I'll check my post count and get working on it if it is not enough!

Up to this point, I would consider what I have been doing as playing with security cameras. I have an old Android tablet that has been my makeshift front yard camera for about 6 months now-and I can't complain too much, tablet was free, a free app allows it to stream something BI can pick up, and using WiFi means I didn't have to run any cabling. I've caught Papa, Mama and Baby bear strolling thru our front yard with it, but it has zero night vision and this weekend I am running the cabling for cameras at various locations to move the 3 cameras I do have to POE (currently using powerline adaptors) and running a bunch of spare cables for installation of cameras to be purchased later. Any one of these 3 would be a great addition to my system. And shipping to FL would probably be pretty cheap ;)

Just like real estate-location, location, location? The front yard and drive are the areas of focus for me currently. The drive has the highest probability of traffic (humans and others) and the deepest field of view so the PTZ would wind up covering that area. The front yard/door is a narrower field of view so that's where a turret would get installed.
 
If I were to win, this would go inside my garage. I will install new cameras from Andy outside my house next Thursday, so the timing would be great. This happens to be my 9th post by the way, and cats are cool. Happy Thanksgiving!
