    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Ok, how did you deduce that image? And the camera is on the corner post between the 2 properties - so it is roughly 152ish feet

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Sorry, I am mistaken. For some reason, I thought it was 52 feet, but it's 152 feet. What a dumbass I am. I don't know how I messed that up. I like the idea of the 4mp sensor, but feel this location really needs more zoom for it to be effective for identity. As it stands, we're barely getting...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    So glad I did not pull the trigger on the X3 with a max zoom of 25mm, because with the Z4E at 32mm the FOV isn't quite enough. I'm using a ZE and a Z4E in this location and both are at max zoom. The intersection is roughly 52 feet away from the camera. I would have thought 32mm would have been...

    That's amazing. You must have a LOT of light in this location. I can only dream of images like this. I have terrible lighting

    Is my neighbor interfering with my cameras?

    He doesn't say if the ex-wife lives with him or not, but I suspect she may be involved somehow

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    Anyone have any alternative recommendations to this mount?

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    I would say that the paint lifted from the metal, and it rusted. The whole bottom of the bracket the paint is peeled away from the metal. Poor prep work prior to paint, if any was done

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    It's definitely NOT aluminum. This item was purchased during COVID so I would bet that that has something to do with the poor quality. I need to find an alternative mount as I don't want to go through the task of climbing onto a metal roof in the future to swap it out. In 2 years, I'll be in my...

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    We are 14 miles away from the ocean, so it shouldn't be an issue. None of my other 2 mounts have rusted. Maybe I received a defective mount?

    Not me, too much trouble. I'd have a compound away from the idiots of society but close enough to amenities. I'd have lots of lights in the compound and LOTs of cameras. And an 8-foot wall with a mote outside filled with alligators. That to me, that is an efficient use of the type of money Bozos...

    Unfortunately, you have to be careful of doing things like this anywhere in the US. All it takes is one of those parkers to get sprayed and accidentally becoming a victim and it could ruin your whole weekend.

    What a joke that fiasco was. Most people are trying to get through the week to eat, pay bills and other necessities and Bozo Bezo is spending more money on one event than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes

    From what I understand, some of the motion sensor sprinklers work very well and they're readily available. I'm sure with general mechanical skills, one could assemble a similar design to the Aussie video

    I bought my mower that way used. Didn't know there was a kill switch with silly wires not connected under the seat. Nor a disconnected switch for reversing while the blades are engaged;)

    I figured it was steel but just wanted to confirm. Can't believe it got as rusty as it did in a short 5 years

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    It's been a while since I mounted my PTZ cameras (just over 5 years) and I noticed a lot of rust on the bottom of the pole mount bracket. Is the PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket made from regular steel or is it aluminum like the camera housings?

    Could it be hydraulic fluid fill cap or ride regulator valve for the strut? Just spit balling since that is what you were working on

    Trying to understand the image. The middle is B&W, yet there's color present in the image. What gives? Hybrid of some sort?
