    Doorbell cam bird feeder?

    This just came across my feed. https://mybirdbuddy.com/product/smart-hummingbird-feeder/? This looks suspiciously like a doorbell camera! Then one showed up on Amazon as a lightning deal for $60. Not buying one but it does look like a neat project.

    Deep Freeze down South!

    I know that 25F doesn't phase many people here but in the deep south, that is absolute miserable. Weatherman said most snow ever recorded is expected in Galveston, Texas. Upwards of 4" in Houston! San Antonio, 1"! A lot of the precip is expected to be sleet and freezing rain. The roadways will...

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    I have a friend that wants to get into drones and another that does professional drone photography for weddings, ads, etc. While talking to them, I started wondering that if I have a drone at one location and am generally not there, Could I fly the drone from across country without a HUGE outlay...

    PsychoBilly corvette

    I saw psychobilly corvette (with respect where due!) while driving I-10 about the Florida-Georgia line a couple of weeks ago. I reviewed my dash camera footage and was unable to find anything. Turns out that my camera is recording in super fast speed. The corvette was painted psychedelic colors...

    Dealing with lens artifacts.

    I have got an Empiretec Color4k-T that I used to try and capture the eclipse back in April. I left it pointing to the south sky. When there was a full moon out this month, there was the reflection of the full moon also in the picture. Maybe when the sun was in this same spot, the relic was there...

    License plates

    Having an hour drive each way to and from work I notice a lot of vanity license plates. Today I spotted a Florida plate with SUB on the left and expected a hull number on the right but it was WOO. I guessed maybe it was just random issue until they passed on my left and I spotted an A hidden in...

    Odd behaviour on IPCAMTALK.COM

    Recently ipcamtalk.com has been displaying oddly. The first several entries are showing up with one letter on each line until the whole header is displayed. This happens on my android tablet, Firefox and Edge on Windows. It does not happen in chrome on windows. Anyone else seeing this?

    Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

    I just started playing with this camera and wondered if there is a way to normalize the lighting on an IPC-Color4K-T180. This is a temporary location so I did not bother to invert the picture. I have spot lights to the right of the camera (left since inverted) so it is brighter. Both sides look...

    Things that make me go Hmmm?

    Got an interesting email today from Amcrest Cloud Notification service. They said that my one camera was offline. That is fair enough except I have not had an Amcrest Cloud account since July of 2019. Everything was right on the camera like name and my username. That camera has been retired for...

    Opinions needed

    I'm mounting a camera on the left column of my entry gate. I have already welded the purlin where it will be mounted. It will be solar powered so the solar panels will probably be mounted on the horizontal section at the top. I was originally going to use rigid conduit to run the wires from the...

    Crested Caracara pair

    Don't know if these two are hunting for field mice in the brush pile or if they are building a nest.

    Finally got to burn some brush.

    Neighbor finally burned some brush piles. Smoky The Bear would be disappointed that they did not fully extinguish the flames!

    Transfer configuration from one camera to another

    I just got a SD59432XA-HNR from Andy's refurb deals. It will be replacing a SDA49425-HNR. The new camera will hang on the same bracket. I would like to have the same presets, tours and settings on the new camera. In lieu of setting them up manually, can they be exported from the old to the new?

    Pleasant side effects of the supply chain fiasco!

    I picked up a pair of work boots from the Red Wing store today. I got the same style I have used for years and just asked to be sure they were still made in Red Wing Minnesota and they are. The young lady then told me that because of the supply chain issue, they are selling many more American...

    Good cameras even needed in rural areas!

    I always see posts of crime captured on urban cameras. I think a good surveillance system is warranted in rural America also. https://devinenews.com/bee-rustlers-take-hive-near-devine-2000-reward-offered/
