    Placement Ideas for front porch

    Thanks for the info. With the stone around the door I can't really place one where I want to. The only thought with the dome is it is anti-vandal.

    Placement Ideas for front porch

    Honestly, I would run all 3 as turrets. I just replaced a dome (referred to here as a wedge) with a turret and it's not as bad visually as I had thought it would be, and it's mounted directly next to the door at eye level. It also has MUCH better picture quality. The bullet also isn't needed as...

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    ...5442 vs Color4X-T during the day. You can see how it has narrowed from the 5442. I then took the opportunity to replace the 5MP front door wedge with the 2.8mm 5442 from the deck and I couldn't be happier. I knew this from before, but the 5442 is better in every way. I can run it in color...

    Thanks Tony, yep looking for vertical. I'll look at the links you sent, all the other ones I've seen just have the download files and I don't have a printer. Thanks again, Michael

    I think he wants a vertical wedge, not a horizontal as furnished. @mvoss , this thread you're on has many references to some that are 3D printed, such as below: Vertical: https://www.printables.com/model/439393-reolink-doorbell-mount Horizontal...

    It comes with a 15 degree wedge bracket, do you need more angle than that or do you mean you want to flush mount it?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I have the black POE version which gives me the perfect wide POV. Does anyone know or have an idea of a wedge to lower the viewing angle? Maybe a tip or trick? I don't want to go w/ the white version. Thanks, Michael

    Front porch camera/conduit/junction box installation questions

    ...It also may not be a bad idea to physically turn the camera 90* and then go into the camera's UI and adjust the rotation to correct it. This would give you more top/bottom and less of the wall. It's worth a shot and doesn't cost you anything. For reference, this is my wedge next to the door.

    4mm Mini Dome 4MP 6MP or 8MP

    I was looking at a 4mm since they just want to point it at the entrance area. Was looking for 4 or 6mp but based on your advice i'll check sensor size.

    4mm Mini Dome 4MP 6MP or 8MP

    FYI I like the mini dome wedge dahua model at face level .. they used to have 2mp versions .. 2.8mm lens gives a good wide view .. but still need a camera for the package drop area

    Awesome find, but too expensive - two of them is the cost of the doorbell itself :rofl: Would it work with the included 20 degree wedge?

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    Totally agree, my head is telling me to get a 2MP with 60mm and heart is saying go with a 5442 at 32mm. Just seems like backwards steps using the older sensor now, things move very quickly in this field. In fact this has encouraged me to get a couple of the other more critical 2MP cameras...

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    ...that's the problem with the 5442, once you use them you don't really want to use anything else. Due to the form factor, I installed a wedge next to the door for ID, I would much rather have a 5442 there and may eventually end up switching it out when I have nothing else to do, but it's not...

    Bought 3 of these from Andy this morning to replace my old 1080P wedge cams.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I should note that I'm using the wedge, because the Doorbell Camera is centered on the door, and the doorknob is on the side. Seems to work pretty well.

    back in the day many would use that wedge cam from dahua. super small, but not sure about the audio.

    Do like I did, get a longer screw for the top screw and put a temporary wedge (carpenter pencil) in-between the wall and the mount then you will know what degrees you need. I remember putting as many a 2 carpenter pencils. You can take one of the screws with you to Home Depot to find a longer one.

    ...I think all you need to do is take the STL file to a 3D print shop for them to make you one... I will say this, I played with putting a wedge (a carpenters pencil) on the top of the mount to tilt the DB down and found it did not work like I had hoped, it cut off some of the heads of those...

    ...idea. It would be nice if the ReoLink doorbell camera lens could be tilted in any direction up to 25 degrees. That would help eliminate some of the sky backlight that so many are experiencing with a south facing entrance. https://www.amazon.com/Wedge-Ring-Video-Doorbell-release/dp/B08LYLXLZ3

    How to find password of cameras?

    If it's any consolation, I had to find the almost impossible-to-find reset button on my IPC-4231 wedge camera yesterday. Needed a flash light to find the tiny little switch on one side of the circuit board cover. Worked like a champ, however.

    Need help picking new cams

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Now, almost three full years later, I ordered from Amazon, and it will be here Wednesday. :clap: :clap::clap: My largest concern (and not truly significant) if whether it's much larger than the original 4231 wedge it will be replacing.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    He's correct. The libs continue their divide and conquer plan to drive a wedge between people and groups. Unfortunately, there will be people who take the bait and cause chaos, confrontation, damage. The libs are pushing as many buttons as they can looking for suckers. They hope there will be...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Where did you get the wedge cam? I see the newer one but it's 4MP with a 1/2.8" sensor where the one you have is 2MP with 1/2.8" sensor. Edit: Wait nevermind I think it was discontinued. Here's a dumb question. The 1 camera I have now is vari focal but how do I imitate 2.8mm vs 3.6mm? Just zoom...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    FYI - the front door is typically the only place I like to put a 2.8mm mini-dome wedge camera up .. as your door is in a cubby I would try to test both a 2.8mm and 3.6mm ( which gives about a 90 degree FOV typically ), if you have a nice varifocal you could play around with the FOV to give you...
