OK. So I've made a little progress with this. After some thought I've decided not to attach the cam directly to the tree, but instead mount it in a faux bird box to disguise it a bit. Here is what I've come up with thus far. The box is 9mm marine ply, about 150mm square by about 240-270mm...

So I did some fiddling last night and this is what I came up with......just trying to workout whether I can get better than this for people and cars.....not really interested in licence plates at the moment for this cam Settings Backlight = OFF WB = Streetlamp Day & Night = B/W IR Light =...

Thanks for this. very informative. I think at this point I just want to capture people and cars at night.....not plates at night........i'll go down that rabbit hole later...... I will do some tweaking tonight and report back on my results.

Thanks. Gives me some food for thought.

I didn't know that.....how do i get rid of them?

Hi Guys, So I got a bit inspired to install a IPC-HDW2231R-ZS that I've had lying around for a while in the cupboard. The inspiration came from a tip-rat doing a burnout on the corner that we live on. I got a decent image from an overview camera (IPC-T5442T-ZE) I have on that corner for the...

Thanks. Very clever. Can I assume it is next to a sidewalk? If it is, how far away would people be walking past? The other thing is, in which direction does it face. I have a similar intersection that I live on which faces directly west, so the afternoon sun is terrible for the image in the...

Any chance you have some pictures of what the tree install looks like.

If your property is open, by that i mean there isn't a locked gate or say your driveway/front yard is open to the street, there is implied consent until you explicitly remove consent. If you have a sign at the front that says no trespassing or you do not give consent to them coming on your...

Interesting. In Australia trespass laws are same same but different. If you trespass on government land that becomes a criminal offence and you'll be prosecuted as such. It also doesn't matter whether damage occurred. If you trespass on private land that becomes a civil matter. No damage...

So, I adjusted the sharpness to values between 20-30. I couldn't see any appreciable difference. I think I'll get another camera while Andy has his sale on. I'll also look at installing an external IR light as well. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks, I'll give that a try too. Just got permission from the Minister for Finance to get "another" camera...... Yes, I've seen that, makes for interesting viewing.

Thanks Wittaj, Reduced Sharpness from 50 to 47......not sure it made much difference. I'm thinking I need more light...... I also re-measured the distance to the curb, it's more like 12m (36ft) not 20ft.......so I'm also wondering if that will have an affect on it as well...

OK. So I have made a few adjustments. I'm not sure it's any better - just different. Although I seem to have gotten rid of the ghosting to a degree and a lot of the noise but it is a lot darker. Trying to brighten the image with gain or gamma just added more noise. Slowing the shutter more...

Thanks guys, I'll make some adjustments and report back.
