    180° Wide Angle / Dual-Lens Cameras - Best thing ever?

    Thank you - I started in on that thread and get lost with all the different models.

    Do IR emitters count as Christmas lights?

    Because that red glow is what I'm counting as Christmas lights this year! :) Just popped by to leave a thank you note for all those who have contributed to the forums - wiki was a huge help. I started with the idea of a OOTB camera system and went into typical analysis paralysis through all...
