French speaking ;=) sorry for my english if any errors...
Living in Switzerland, near Lausanne a nice city in front of the Lake Leman (also wrongly called Geneva Lake) and the Alps.
As Switzerland is generally considered safe I mainly use my IP-CAMS to track animals (herissons, squirrels, weasels, birds, fox, etc).

I discovered many funny things about their life using these cameras.
They generally show up by night or early in the morning in my garden.
Thus I favor large sensors 2MP IR cams (starlight, etc) which currently (2019) seem to provide better quality during the night.
This year (2024) I finally decided to jump to 4MP Starlight sensors.

Thanks for this wonderfull site ! Long live to you.

Current configuration
Cameras
DAHUA IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and PTZ1A225U-IRA-N (2MP Starvision)
and many DAHUA IPC-T54IR-ZE (x) (4MP Starvision)

"Servers"
Macmini server for SecuritySpy software
Synology backend for video backups etc.

Software
After multiple MacOs tests on different Macs and Operating systems (SightHound, VMS, DComplex, BI, etc) I finally decided to use a the excellent SecuritySpy software from BenSoftware on my "old" macmini.
Very flexible and configurable, and works quite well and efficiently.
I access to it via PCs, Mac, Ipads etc.
Excellent software, probably the best for Mac/IOS Users.
