    Looking for PTZ suggestions

    Nests are about 100' away, woods are about 200-300 feet away. I am running Blue Iris with all Dahua cams from Andy so far. No outdoor lighting but I can always mount IRs if I wanted night views of pool areas. Price? 300-700? flexible

    Looking for PTZ suggestions

    I would like to install a PTZ at about the location this photo was taken from. Mostly for watching the Purple Martin nests on other side of pool. But would be nice to zoom into the woods or the fields to watch other wildlife. How about some suggestions

    Camera positioning help needed

    The bushes are most likely getting removed in spring. Those are aborvitores and have reached the gutters. Dont think I can fish wire up behind brick. I could just let it go over to siding and conceal it going up that way

    Camera positioning help needed

    This is the placement of one of my cams on the driveway. Pretty sure I will be placing one on opposite side of garage overhang and cross paths a little more. This should cover cars and front yard viewing. I do have a IR mounted temporary at middle of door.

    Camera positioning help needed

    I adusted this cam a little bit and I think I like what I am capturing. This is a temparary placement for this cam and may need to adjust it some but I think it might work I went ahead and mounted this cam since it probably is the best placement I can provide for capturing side gate...

    Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS dead? from just from connecting and disconnecting during placement

    How fragile are these cameras? All I was doing was unplugging the network cable and plugging back in, while checking positioning. Now I get nothing its not seen by IP or configtool. Is there anything I can do? It is not the cable since I checked that with another uninstalled cam.

Or any intruders who might take a dip. Finally I would take videos of my fine wife sunbathing and swimming naked in said pool and send...
