    Infrared Emitter on Street Lamp

    Power company came by and got broken street light working again today. A new thing I see now, but never noticed in the past, is a top module that flashes an IR emitter. Motion sensor? Here is top of street lamp pole in color and IR.

    What a Difference 10 Years Make in Camera Capability

    Was looking through some old security system archived files and ran into some footage from 10 years ago. Night time capture has come a LONG ways. That one from 2015 was the best Hikvision turret I could buy. The shutter speed was LONG to get even that blurry still image! The 2nd frame cap from...

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    If this is happening on the regular firmware with longer distance objects, then the animal tracking software must have the same hunting flaw. It isn't the type of motion. Rapid hunting back and forth occurs even if the animal is practically still. A better motion algorithm would avoid such...

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Where is that setting? I didn't run into that yet. It sure looks like they need more hysteresis in the tracking software. That would damp down the excess hunting. Like you, I'm tracking at increased distance - usually 50 to 100 yards for the animals here.

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Andy's special animal tracking firmware is letting my system catch detailed shots that would normally just be a distant blob. However, it has a tendency to excessively hunt back and forth during tracking. That creates what would be a non-presentable video, but thankfully Final Cut Pro does a...

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Add image stabilization in Final Cut Pro and the result is quite nice despite the jerky camera tracking moves.

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Never did it this well before.... More jittery than my manual aiming, but getting actual automated tracking for animals is a step up from the standard firmware. These are a few examples that are getting caught now.

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Animal tracking firmware? I would love to have that on my PTZ5A4M-25X cameras. I only have the General_SD-Taurus_MultiLang_PN_Stream3-Normal_V3.200.0000018.2.R.240617 which does not track animals. The bear video was manually aimed, but getting firmware that also does animals would be wonderful...

    Captured on EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X about 100 yards away in darkness. Scene is illuminated only by the PTZ's IR lights. Really demonstrates what a good pairing its 4MP resolution is with 1/1.8 sensor. Uploaded video is only 1080P. BTW all the audio is SFX work in Final Cut Pro

    Triple Headed, Pole Top, Turret Cam Mount

    I use a one in three out splitter. It isn't "outdoor" unit, but it stays dry inside in mount. I do dop all the connections with silicone grease. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVR3C92S
