overview camera is already in place as noted in 1st post. No flood light implied as I used term spilled. Just a normal residential post lamp at the driveway entrance. yes...a trench is being dug. Conduit or 2nd trench will not. A trench was not mentioned in 1st post as it was not in scope of...

I will keep that in mind for the future, thank you. This post was not about electrical code or direct burial vs conduit. simply stated, Last option I would consider is a light. Added cost of conduit, bigger trench, direct burial wire if no conduit, cost of the light post, the impact on the...

That is the code here. Unless your running conduit

I will test the wash back again. one thing I failed to recognize (you reminded me when you said flush) was the other cameras were mounted at 15 feet. I could not get them flush with out being noticeable. These cameras will almost be at plate level, so I may get lucky on this install. thanks

do you have alot of street light in that application? I did some testing with a similar camera and it did not perform well.

Thank you for the information. This is not a new install so I know the use case here pretty well. Security of the camera will not be an issue as the mounting location has camera coverage already. They will be hidden. The IR will wash back. I will do some testing with external IR and the 2...

Unable to use built-in IR in this application.

IR it is

ok. so I will need to mount an external IR or lamp post. Not sure which would draw more attention on my street. I can power the IR over POE. If I did install the light post, my thought was the light would not spill far enough since it would not be a flood light. I will have to look more at...

I think this is the camera I was looking at last year. You think that this would work in a no light application? I may not be able to use the IR of the camera due to reflection once I mount them.

Side profile is of current camera. see 2 pictures of up and down the street showing the top of the mailbox and picture with red markup of camera direction. angle wound not be much...15 degrees?

Same way I did the others. Underground Cat 6. Cat and 110/220v cant be in the same trench by code.

I looked at some cameras to capture license plates on the street during an upgrade last year but decided the investment was not worth it. However, we have has some incidents of people taking pictures. It is unclear if they were taking pictures of the house or the kids outside. For obvious...

It did take them almost 2 months to reply to my ticket on the site, so guess they are focused on the big buck corporate version.

Received this reply from support. Some of this is pretty vague, but talks of price increase, commercial versions, and no planned updates for the BI home versions? I was really hoping they would expand on features for the home version. No info is available on commercial version without a...
