I had to check. Looks like about 110'. That's about a 40MM for 100ppf with a Dahua Starlight? Time for a license plate camera.... =)

It wouldn't surprise me at all. They've gone a bit crazy since I put the cameras up. They will not raise their garage door all the way except to quickly move a vehicle through. They'll raise it 2' up feet and slide under. The front window blinds are now closed 24/7. My cameras are obviously not...

Update: Just finished the HOA meeting. That was the biggest joke ever. Other home owner didn't even show. I readdressed unrelated issues we've had with them, and they didn't even bring up the cameras, I did. They said everything looked fine and complimented the cameras (3 Dahua 4231EM-AS). So...

I have this issue with one of my new HDW4233C-A "V2"'s as well. Another "V2" came with english firmware. I'm trying to get the English firmware from the seller so I can update the Chinese one. I no longer have the boxes to compare, but I ordered two cameras from two different sellers and both...

Whoa! That's a lot of crazy stuff! I haven't had anything too bad happen, mostly weird stuff. The weirdest was a few years back we found bare human footprints in the snow in the backyard. They came from the back (another yard) up to the back door, then over the fence to the front. They had to...

Valid points. Thanks again!

So HOA covenants have this section: "No activity shall be carried on upon any Lot nor anything done thereon tending to cause embarrassment, discomfort, annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood." However there's also this bit "...to which the proposed Improvement will cause intrusions of sound...

Most thorough advice so far, thank you! Have about a week to prepare. Hoping to basically shut these guys down and never deal with it again.

That's true. And it's been more than loud enough to wake us up in the middle of the night a few times

I would, except for the questionable legality of that. I am in a one party consent state. I have cameras inside and out, all have mics, but only the inside ones are recording audio. I have signage at every entrance stating "audio and video surveillance in use", or something like that. But...

Great idea, and that's exactly why the neighbors next to me are thrilled about the cameras. I think these guys are more interested in retaliation from me reporting them for loud parties, etc then any benefit of a camera.

Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. Prior to this, these particular neighbors have made me incredibly happy to have an HOA. I've been here many years and never had HOA troubles before. They're probably just trying to retaliate. I could use the masking feature (or just point the camera down...

Looking for some advice. I recently installed some exterior security cameras. HOA heartily approved my plans and said cameras were a fantastic idea. My neighbors on either side of me highly approve. About a week after I put them up, the neighbor across the street comes over and inquires about...
