Pulling my weight
Just a short demo of the Huisun mini PTZ recording a FedEx delivery using BI. Huisun settings are set at default. Camera is mounted about 7' (2.1m) above the deck floor.
Both FedEx and UPS are pretty good here. My regular UPS driver actually hides packages behind the big BBQ because he knows I get some pricey shipments.Nice delivery...I'm used to seeing video of those guys throwing stuff over fences!
It looks like Lare started with a 3 Rail Adust-A-Gate Kit, no? What did you use for the motorized opener Lare? Mighty Mule or EZ Gate?Awesome! so tell me about this gate...
Very good observation Q2U. I used the 3 Rail Adjust-A-Gate this last summer to replace an old sagging gate. The motorized opener is a Mighty Mule as you guessed. I can control it manually, by remote or by Z-wave control no matter where I'm at as long as I have Internet access. Love this remote access stuff.It looks like Lare started with a 3 Rail Adust-A-Gate Kit, no? What did you use for the motorized opener Lare? Mighty Mule or EZ Gate?
Oh...that is very VERY cool. My (someday I swear) driveway gate is going to be like that....I can control it manually, by remote or by Z-wave control no matter where I'm at as long as I have Internet access. Love this remote access stuff.
No motorized remote control on mine though </envy>...Here's my Adjust-A-Gate project from a year and a half ago...
Wow.. super cleanly done. Nice!Oh...that is very VERY cool. My (someday I swear) driveway gate is going to be like that.
Those Adjust-A-Gate are really strong and it's surprising what one can do with them. Here's my Adjust-A-Gate project from a year and a half ago...
Great... another winter project for me now. Hahaha! Do you open the gate for Mr. FedEx when you see him drive up? What if you're not home? That doesn't looks like it's able to be opened the old way anymore... which I like.Very good observation Q2U. I used the 3 Rail Adjust-A-Gate this last summer to replace an old sagging gate.

The Huisun that I have doesn't include audio. I have a Hik 2432 also mounted on the deck. Since it does support audio, I share that audio with with the Huisun, thanks to BI.The sound is very clear! What are you using for a mic?
Lare probably gave the FedX guy some kind of RF transmitter that auto-opens the gate when the truck rounds the corner!Great... another winter project for me now. Hahaha!

When I'm expecting a delivery I program my Z-wave controller (VeraLite) to open the gate at 8:00 AM because I don't know when the package will be delivered. After the delivery, I can close the gate with remote control or z-wave controller. If I'm away from home, after the delivery I can close the gate remotely.Great... another winter project for me now.

UPS has the 4 digit code to open the gate, but I usually leave the gate open when expecting a delivery. I don't think the FedEx guys have the code, so I usually leave it open for them or USPS.Lare probably gave the FedX guy some kind of RF transmitter that auto-opens the gate when the truck rounds the corner!
Nope, can't open the old way. Nobody gets in here without me opening the gate or them climbing over the fence, which would be recorded by 8 cameras.Great... another winter project for me now. Hahaha!

Lare's next project...Nope, can't open the old way. Nobody gets in here without me opening the gate or them climbing over the fence, which would be recorded by 8 cameras.
I love that -- thanks for sharing and I apologize for hijacking this thread with gate awesomeness talk. lolWhen I'm expecting a delivery I program my Z-wave controller (VeraLite) to open the gate at 8:00 AM because I don't know when the package will be delivered.

No problem there. Love that gate opener. Have had it for several years. Only ones that know the code to get in are the UPS guys and family.I love that -- thanks for sharing and I apologize for hijacking this thread with gate awesomeness talk. lol
