I have my first IP cam, an 8 year old indoor Trendnet TV-IP651WI, sitting on a plant stand on the front porch; it keeps an eye on package deliveries.

A small toad with big eyes visits the porch at 1:52 AM and triggers Blue Iris...pretty sensitive, eh? Yeah, it's a grainy 640 x 480, but as I said it was my first IP cam circa 2010 and it has done what I've asked of it.

Haha. Funny looking little guy.
Yeah, we're about 500 yds. uphill from a 20,000 acre man-made lake and this time of year they come up near the house, usually when we're watching TV and the lights thru our glassed door & glass sidelights attracts bugs. It's kind of a buffet for them. The next morning you dodge little toad turds on the porch. It's funny because the turds are HUGE when you consider the size of what made them! :rofl:
