    Newly installed cams and Blue Iris system

    Wow this install looks well thought out and implemented. I like it! On the subject of poop, I had my first experience with a young guy relieving himself at the end of my cul-de-sac. I live on a dead end road way up on a hill in the middle of no where. I see this guy at the end of the...

    Comparison between PTZs - the 49225 versus 49425 versus Mini-PTZ - mailbox checker

    I sure am enjoying my Mini-PTZ on the back of my house. I've already found out a few dirty secrets about my neighbors. Yesterday I zoomed in on a neighbor a couple houses down from me. I wanted to get a closer look at the truck that had just pulled up to her garbage can. It was my other...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Well, I'm thinking it has to be better than the built in IR on the camera.

    Is there another brand I should be looking at besides Tendelux? One that does better a little lower.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Well this got me thinking........no not about attaching the illuminator to the globe :p. Right below where I have my PTZ cam installed is a steel mast that had a couple LTE antennas on it. They have since been decommissioned. Looking at the photo, would this mast work for adding a couple of...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I'd fashion some kind of holder for the camera that would fasten to the flat roof and hold the camera correctly. There is a small fan that you can see inside the camera for cooling.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    With a PTZ cam wouldn't you need several since the cam will be panning left to right?

    Yep, and by doing so the night vision is pretty darn good.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Correct, just IR light. The striping is there panning left and right as well as up and down. If I zoom in about 30% (beyond the stripes) the picture looks fine.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Here's a shot of the stripes mentioned above. Plus other reflections off the dome. This is complete darkness. I tried every setting I can think of and nothing really helps. It seems to be the nature of the camera having a dome.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Kind of wishing I would have gone with a 2nd SD49425XB-HNR because it has stellar night vision. The pic is from my SD49425XB-HNR with no extra lighting. That's zoomed in from about 180 feet away.

    I'll get some pics after dark tonight. This shadowing starts as soon as into goes into IR mode. It doesn't even need to be that dark to start seeing it.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I just got this camera and experienced the same left and right stripes through the picture at night. This camera is on the back of my house. On the front of my house I have an Empire Tech PTZ SD49425XB-HNR and the night vision in complete darkness is pretty impressive. I was hoping for the...

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    Awhile back I started noticing that I wasn't getting as much mail as I had in the past. Then, my credit card payments weren't making it to the CC company. I ended up switching everything over to online pay and abandoning the post office and sending checks. As it turns out, one of the...

    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    I've found that my projects turn out better than the pros if I do it myself with the help of forums like these. I draw the line though at doing my own dental work. :D

    Anyone ever install on a doublewide?

    I own a double wide manufactured home. Mine had furred in soffits so all my cameras are soffit mounted. I was able to run all my cabling through the soffits to each camera. The cabling exits the soffits in three places and runs in 1/2" steel electrical conduit behind my gutter downspouts...

    UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Advanced Technology and Other Associated Weirdness

    I'd like to see some really clear photos of a UFO. Why is it always some blurry dot? Or some weird reflective object? Or filmed by someone who can't hold the camera steady? Why are there perfectly clear photos of airplanes and other flying devices but nothing of some alien craft?

    The Medical Industry is soooooo Broken

    I actually did this very thing after my wife passed away from cancer. My accountant is the one who actually told me to do it. I didn't lie to the hospital, but explained to them that I lost a large portion of my income because of the death of my wife. She was a career woman. The hospital...

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    Speaking of behavioral conditioning, the younger generation is already onboard with digital currency. I'm self employed and had a root canal done. I don't have dental insurance so I paid my bill in person with cash. I kid you not, the young gal had the deer in the headlight look when I...

    POE Floodlight/Camera Recommendation?

    You could also just install a regular LED flood light and connect a smart switch or timer switch. I have various lighting circuits around my home and out buildings to allow ambient light for my 4k T cams. Two circuits come on automatically with photo cells. Another circuit comes on with a...
