    How to resolve night fuzziness on cam?

    Slightly beyond, especially the top. Should I paint the overlapping edges flat black to stop the reflections?

    How to resolve night fuzziness on cam?

    OK, just went out and tried that - oddly, no effect at all. Is this just a typical artifact of night view with this sort of camera?

    How to resolve night fuzziness on cam?

    This is a Loryta Outdoor 4MP Ultra Low Light Starlight+ Camera I'm guessing that the circular fuzziness is moisture gathering on the lens? Is something like Rain-X effective and safe for the camera? Or, should I install a small solar charged, battery powered, fan? Thanks.

    What about this relabeled (Grade B Dahua) one for watching clouds, planes, satellite trains (e.g. Starlink), and weather? The 6mm lens model with the leds disabled? https://www.amazon.com/Loryta-IPC-T5442TM-AS-Starlight-Eyeball-Network/dp/B07S2196R9/ Min. Illumination : 0.0007 lux @ F1.6...

    Is there an affordable alternative to the 4k/t you used - or should I just expect some burn-in and deal with it? What about potential fogging of the lens, or moisture problems, it may need to be tilted up a little for sky & weather watching?

    So, the Ubiquity requires 24vdc but the Reolink 12vdc - so, either two separate power sources or else use a dc-dc converter for the second voltage?

    Wow, that's an impressive view. So, if burn-in is a problem, what camera would you recommend, instead? Also, what about an affordable camera for sky/weather gazing? BTW: I got the recommended unbranded 'Dahua' eyeball network camera online - it does a nice job of zooming to the driveway to ID...

    Let's take the switch out of the mix and design for a single Reolink RLC-510A.

    So, I just need to put 24vdc on Pairs 4, 5+ and 7, 8 - ? Or, might that mess up the camera?

    OK, so, all that's needed is the camera, the Ubiquiti, two short lengths of Cat6 - both connected to the "POE" box. (We'll need to add a solar panel, charge controller, & a 24v battery pack.)

    I get that the data link is wireless - but then what does #3 mean, please?

    The TL-SG105 only needs a 5vdc power source. I'm a little confused about the remote Ubiquiti LocoM2 2-PACK Nanostation LocoM2 AirMax Outdoor PoE device. It doesn't require a lan cable, does it? Just a 24vdc power source for itself and the camera?

    Cool! What would you recommend as a remote site weather-resistant switch, please? For testing I could use a tp-link TL-SG105 that I just remembered that I have.

    "Ubiquiti Nano wireless Lan solution" ... Can a camera connect directly to a Ubiquiti LocoM2 2-PACK Nanostation LocoM2 AirMax Outdoor PoE CPE 2.4GHz 5+km and be viewed via a router connection at the other end? Or, is something like a little RaspberryPi or an inovato Quadra computer required at...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Ain't no fun in that! lol Amateur Radio is a hobby and many of us like to adapt things. I sure appreciate everyone's help.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    @David L - Cool. Would it have any impact on data signal quality? (As I understand POE it shares data lines then the power is blocked from entering the data circuitry - the power is diverted to the appropriate area).

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Yes, I'd attach the power from the provided power supply somewhere further up the CAT 6 line - where AC power is more readily available. Thanks.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Future alternatives in the same device. I'll rig an adapter to make it do as I need it to do. It's more fun that way anyhow.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Sigh. The Wifi works, and I want that option, but they really should have implemented both. It's mounted on a metal exterior wall, so it's a pain to implement a separate power source. I'll have to run a pair of wires alongside the CAT 6 (inside the wire cover shells) to carry the power. The...
