I recently moved this camera location a little lower than it had been. I plan on moving it back it back to a slightly higher position. The main purpose is to give me a wide overview of the hill below our deck. Our property extends past that dirt road to the fence you see in the far distance. I have another camera pointed to the left to see right up to the edge of our deck and below down the hill. These 2 cameras give me a wide view of the hillside. I also have a PTZ located just above these 2 cameras zoomed in on the dirt road just in front of the white gate. Due to heavy vegetation below the dirt road and the steepness of our hill, that gate provides an excellent choke point for recording people and vehicles that are on that dirt road. I did catch a woman climbing up that hillside toward our house about 2 years ago.
I've always thought they do look a little like rats too.
