Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Looking for a more long-lasting fix.

Here's a sample, BTW. That's about a month's accumulation.

How often do you have to apply it, because I have to access it via extension ladder. :( and can I spray it on the flood lights too or will it damage them,

I installed both a security camera and a pair of flood lights fairly close together. Yes, it was a bad idea, but it would be very difficult to change at this point. It's a POE cam and the wall I accessed it from during a remodel is nearly finished. Does anyone know any tricks to keep spiders...

Yes, the cover has its own gasket which I am using. I'm talking about a gasket between the camera base and the outside of the cover. The camera base doesn't have (and didn't come with) a gasket. You can see the custom gasket in the photo I posted above.

Yup, that's it (minus the custom gasket).

Price must've dropped. I paid $100 at the beginning of this year.

Since people seem interested, I just went out and took a pic to show you my install. It's annoying. I actually wanted the camera to be higher, but the plumber I hired for my bathroom remodel installed a drain in the exterior wall that goes right over where I wanted to install the camera. He...

So I installed an Annke 4K bullet cam recently: the i91BL model. I unfortunately discovered that it's 4K stream uses an encoding not (yet) supported by my security system software (Sighthound Video Pro). It streams in h265 and SHV plans to add support for that encoding in an as-yet released...

Well, that's what I ended up doing anyway, though I wish you guys would have chimed in earlier. I wasted a lot of time trying to solve a problem that would have violated code. And I have the inspection on the electrical work coming up soon. That would have been annoying to have to redo it.

You do realize I never said I installed a 120V line in the box, right? ;) Admittedly, that was my goal, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I didn't trust all that weight on the plastic cover. Besides, the camera base took up too much space, because I couldn't find one with a 3/4"...

I did end up implementing your suggestion. The box covers come with a punchout in the center that is the right size, so no need to drill. The one custom thing I did do, other than screwing the camera to the cover is, I bought some custom gasket material to waterproof the camera base to the...

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time today searching for a combo flood light / Ethernet security cam, but I'm convinced they don't exist, so I'm wondering if I can piece together one myself. I can buy a simple flood light with an electrical box cover with holes the lights screw into and the...

Jesus Christ. I would never do this to my Biden sign. This is sick. I have a cam trained on my Biden sign. That's enough.

That's reassuring. The setup instructions didn't provide a non-QR/non-web-account alternative procedure. I definitely could have tried to get around it, but it just raised my hackles that this was the standard procedure. It didn't give me confidence that privacy was forefront in their minds...

Not sure exactly quite what you're saying. My 2 foscams and 2 axis cams currently do work in Mojave and in Sighthound. The only reason I haven't upgraded to Catalina is because I have a 32 bit app I still use daily and at some point, I'm going to have to replace the USB dongle it works with...

My current foscams And axis cams require nobrowser plugin. The foscam web server has 3 interface modes. The simplest one works anywhere with no plugin and does everything I need to do: pan/tilt, IR, and view the feed. I was a one time web developer for about 8 years and am currently helping in...

Amcrest was the first cam I tried. According to their tech support, it currently could not be viewed in any browser in a Mac due to a bug in their required plugin. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Also, their setup procedure required I create an account on their website, which gave me the...

Hi, This might not be the best forum to ask this question since the site doesn't seem to work in Safari or Firefox on my mac, but I really need help selecting a compatible camera. I've ordered and had to return 2 now to replace an ailing Foscam camera (IR emitters started going on the fritz)...
