    Cam catches thieves - makes me wish I bought better camera

    Lol! Door checker zombies are a tough nut to crack. 29 times out of 30 the car doors are locked - but zombies are persistent...

    Cam catches thieves - makes me wish I bought better camera

    Understood. Do ipcamtalk folks supplement their equipment with low tech as well?

    Cam catches thieves - makes me wish I bought better camera

    From a low tech perspective... since the zombies are defeating the best of our efforts (camera tech, camera placement, procedural security, defensive lighting, or defensive no-lighting, etc.) with baggy, non-descriptive clothing, hoodies, bandanas, no automobiles and the youthful ability to...

    Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function

    Has anyone considered LPR cam (tactical) placement in their mailbox for better flat level shots at passing cars? Some mailboxes have an upper box and then a lower box for flyers/newspapers, etc. The bottom box could be tactically fitted with a cam with a cutout for the lens. PoE could be run...

    Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function

    Wow, this line of camera/functionality is either a guarded secret or so specialized that "folks in-the-know" aren't very willing to share much about them. It's like pulling teeth to get people to open up... or perhaps the tech is still too quirky to go mainstream.

    Front door cam - 6mm?

    Thanks bug, appreciate the universal human nature of self-protection or curiosity with noise near the head. Believe I'll eventually get the 6mm at eyeball height, painted to match the brick - and pointed so that the target cone is going to hit the face for the 95th percentile. Now I need to...

    Front door cam - 6mm?

    Quick side question... in physical areas where multiple cams might cover an area better - do you believe a strobe/flashing motion sensor (LED) light would better serve the tricky area? This site has an excellent archive of bad guy videos whereby a traditional motion sensor light activates on...

    Front door cam - 6mm?

    In theory they wouldn't see/recognize the camera before it was too late - and by then their face was already captured in detail... but I get your point that they aren't too smart to begin with! ;-)

    Front door cam - 6mm?

    Researching past entries on front door cam placement and type of lens. Seems like the IPC-HDBW4231F-AS would fit my situation. From what I've read on this site, folks initially go with the widest angle lens then regret the lack of reach so wish they got the 3.6mm. Then some even wonder if...

    The pine tree will sway, but since the cam is only 1/3rd the way up the tree - I'm hoping the sway won't be too intrusive.

    Thanks for the input bp - there will be sway for sure. I've taken pics from the exact location 20 feet up the pine tree by climbing up a ladder and yes, the view is commanding. But didn't think too much about the sway. What cam would you suggest instead of ptz? Mostly want cam for fun, but...

    Researching the ($700 or less) Dahua (network IP) PTZ offerings. Enjoying thread re: $342 Dahua SD49225T-HN. Next step up Dahua SD59225U-HNI. 25X Optical is enough for my residential exterior. Looking to cover my property with two PTZ cams. In attachment the proposed cam locations are yellow...
