    How to digital zoom?

    I've zoomed in what I could optically. This camera won't zoom enough and I'm just wondering what kind of results I'll get with digital. Can you use digital zoom with a live feed?

    How to digital zoom?

    I have a DH-IPC-HFW2831T-ZAS . Spec sheet lists 16x digital zoom. I'm using the cam directly connected to my router with web IP cam viewer. How do I use digital zoom? There is no selection in the browser window that I can find.

    Help with camera choice

    It looks like that tool will, for any designated camera, allow you to view its field of view. What I would need is a tool that allows me to input the distance and fov desired and then could point me to the best camera?

    Help with camera choice

    Over the past few weeks I've been learning a lot about camera options and equipment. Once I decide on going with either an NVR or PC with software, i'm planning on a 25x zoom turret camera to view various bird feeders and houses on my property. (And to help with an overall security program. )...

    ** Uh...Best Buy $120 External 8TB Hard Drives actually have $250 WD Red Drives Inside?!?!

    This is from Western Digital about Purple: The Surveillance drives from WD are designed and optimized specifically for recording surveillance or other video footage. In many ways the Surveillance line is very similar to the NAS Storage line except that the Purples drives use the "AllFrame...

    ** Uh...Best Buy $120 External 8TB Hard Drives actually have $250 WD Red Drives Inside?!?!

    I know that purple drives are generally regarded the best for surveillance. Pretty much what they're designed for. Just wondering how folks feel about using red instead. I was in the process of looking for a drive for use in either an NVR or a PC for use with BI. Tempted to use one of these, but...

    Another Bird Brain Question

    Does this mic need an amplifier of any sort? Or can it just be plugged into the audio input on a camera and then use a PoE splitter on the ethernet cable to the camera to power it?

    4MP Budget Cam Black Friday Giveaway

    I've been researching the best way to view our bird houses/feeders from inside. A new camera from your contest would help me decide! By the way, my wife grew up with a cat just like yours. Her name was Tabatha. She loved letting you pet her until she didn't. She'd let you know by digging her...

    Cam for watching birds

    Those are great. Thanks. How does the Amcrest do with sound? Will it pick up bird sounds at 30-35 feet?

    Cam for watching birds

    Thanks Jack! I take it the cam was zoomed in all the way? Detail on the bird looks good. Let me ask you, how far in front of the feeder are the red flowers? What camera is it?

    Another Bird Brain Question

    Thanks for your input! I'm assuming built in camera mics are omnidirectional? Do you think a built in mic would pick up sounds clearly at the feeder? I was hoping to eliminate the majority of background noise. If not, and the camera has a mic input, I could always run a small exterior mic up...

    Camera Suggestion

    I posted this in the chit-chat section, but maybe it would be better to post here. Hope that's okay! So, now I'm looking for a camera that can mount about eight feet away from a bird feeder that can focus on the feeder only. So, I'm assuming a vari-focal style that can be zoomed in on the...

    Cam for watching birds

    That mic looks omnidirectional. I was thinking more like something that could somehow focus on the sounds coming from the specific feeder only.

    WeatherStation Buying Advice

    I also have the Vantage Pro. (Not the 2, but the original model.) Its been running for around 15 years. The rain gauge is way off and has been for years. I don't really use it, so I've lived with it. When it's really cold, (single digits) the anemometer is pretty noisy. I've thought about...
