That's a big beautiful house and that camera still looks huge on it LOL.
I'd paint it or tape or something LOL. If it hasn't pooped out by now, it will last beyond the warranty period.
I have noticed with other cameras that use this new GUI that using that self-adaptive mode with BI will show No Signal errors. Are you seeing that in the BI camera status page?@looney2ns I have to use self-adaptive mode in order for the day/night too work via CGI

Or at least it works on mine

not yet on 5.7.7.15. But I have only ran it on the day/night cycle for about a week. Will keep a eye on it.

In the first video at about 2:20, you can see the IR on the camera mounted on the corner of the house go off when the lights on PTZ trigger it to go off.
Any chance we can see the footage from that cam to that happen?
Great video. Couldn't watch all of it as the internet is sllloowwww here today. I'll try later.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you looney and kmcu for another amazing perspective view of this eye candy camera from 2 different sceneries. That's one powerful and impressive camera but I think it fits more rural area with neighbors living far away from you.

wooo, the cam can watch 380m License plate, that is crazy, this camera also can use as a ANPR cam, the metadata is crazy good.
The day and night pics are great!

The only issue is a big monster, so need a high position to install, sure it's costly too
Too bad it doesn't use traditional IR, can't be flashing a spotlight around the neiborhoodThe only issue is a big monster, so need a high position to install, sure it's costly too

It has both white light and traditional IR.Too bad it doesn't use traditional IR, can't be flashing a spotlight around the neiborhood
I was having trouble getting the light settings to stick, but after a few tries they are working correctly. I will say that even with white light set to near minimum, it acts like a spot light at night. I had to turn white light down all the way for it to be off.

I am interested in the noise level of thus camera. My preferred mounting spot is on the second story of my house, but it is very near a bedroom window and it is often open at night. I have some other cameras that have built in fans that run 24x7. Anyone that owns this camera can you comment on any fan noise or motor noise?

Don't hear any fan noise.
The motor is briefly noisy when the cam pans quickly, if it's tracking a person walking, you won't hear it in most case's.
