    I'm sure you're right at 100 yards or less, but I talking a few hundred yards out. If they will do that, I will buy one

    This is right at 550 yards (1600 ft) at 45 power optical zoom. It still has 16 times more digital zoom if needed. It's a cloudy overcast day, so at that distance, I consider the picture to good. I have used the auto tracking on cattle and my son on a 4-wheeler. It did great. You won't regret...

    Thanks, but the ones on my camera will reach out to 250 meters.

    Not really, other than I use it daily to check cows and look for deer. My other one will be here today to install on the front of the barn.

    What gets me is it's 2024 and some software can ONLY run on windows or vice versa. I guess a well rounded person should have one of each! Thanks for posting photos, I'll keep watching.

    All I can tell you is, I have used Macs for video editing for television for many years. They've always been great and lasted a long long time. But Apple the company I hate them. They try to dig every penny they can out of you.

    Honestly, I got it the first of this week and I'm trying to figure it out. I just wish I could find one good video tutorial from a to Z on the set up.

    And just think, all that I would have been covered with, just one Mac… just messing with you, to each his own.

    Not to start an argument, but you have no idea what you're missing. A Mac will last longer 3 PCs. It's all relevant

    I can't imagine using anything other than the Apple or Mac. But I come from the video editing world, where Mac is king, without a doubt.

    "Wow, I really wish I had discovered this software earlier, before purchasing my current NVR. It's been so frustrating trying to get the motion detection feature to work – I'm almost at the point of wanting to toss it out the window! Since I use Macs, I'll give this new software a try when I...

    If you mean "end of life" I have no idea about that. I bought mine at EmpireTech | Security Protection | Security Cameras & NVRs and have another on the way. For the price if they last 4 or 5 years i'll be happy. I've been wanting to try a trip wire or perimeter protection test on my cows but...

    Best low light PTZ?

    Without a doubt the PTZ6C2M-45X. I have one and just ordered another.

    I almost bought the camera you have but I was wanting the 45x zoom. I would think both our cameras would be equal in the dark according to this chart I found on this site. Yes it was black dark because it was cloudy with no lights around. I'll try to get some cows walking tonight. Now I have to...
