    Youtube is at it again...

    I use Firefox with Ghostery and uBlock origin and have had no issues. It wasn't until I went to YouTube on my work PC, with no blockers, that I realized how many ads there were, and how many of them are extreme click bait bullshit.

    Feds cut interest rate again

    Hindsight being what it is, I wish I would have been just a touch more aggressive with payments in the beginning, but being ahead at all helps.

    I wanted to see how much high IR might wash out the face up close, that's why I'm at those numbers. I definitely plan to go higher further out.

    Near is 100, Mid and Far are both only 25. I still need to mess with settings.

    Here is the video from the above snapshots. I need to figure out the best way to keep it from cutting the videos short. I think I need to increase the post-trigger record time, but have not had a chance to see how BI behaves, this is just from the SD card.

    I still need to work on the settings, but it's not too bad with what I've thrown at it. The IR also didn't do as much damage up close as I had expected it to. If I could get past that tree, and bump up the Far IR, path captures would be much better. IR: Near 100% Mid 25% Far 25%

    Definitely. Right now I am racking my brain on how to come up with a mount where I can hang it, similar to the PFB204, and also incorporate a junction box. This would probably give me more freedom left and right than trying to use the toothed elbow in the armature, but I'm also not trying to...

    Definitely. I will walk out there in a bit and see how bad things are. I am sure it's going to be a chore to even start getting them set correctly.

    I haven't been out to walk around yet, but this is what I am seeing with minimal settings adjustments and 8.33 exp and 45 gain. You can see the hot spot on the tree. It's throwing a lot of IR out there. 25% IR for all three. 100% IR for all three.

    Part of this whole project is to be able to ID on the walking path, which I should be able to do with the 25mm once I can work around the trees. It's only about 61' to the path through these trees, and about 48' if I move to the right. Had the landscapers followed the staggered pattern, this...

    When I went through the hassle of trenching ethernet and power back to the fence I also trenched ethernet to the other side of the gate. If this camera works for me, then I may consider putting one on the other side of the gate, crossing over this FOV to get the path from the other direction as...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    I was able to cobble together some stuff and get it mounted on the back of the fence about 18" over from the current easement camera. I am sure I may find more, but currently my biggest gripe is the adjustability of the armature. All three adjustments are very coarse and not infinite. I don't...

    My observation is the top 4 LEDs are for distance, next 2 are near, and bottom 2 are mid-range. All LEDs on. The GUI showing the LED adjustment for Areas 1 and 2. (L and R) Below, the Far LED Area 1 is set to 100, Area 2 is set to 0. Near LED Area 1 is set to 0, Area 2 is set to 100...

    Feds cut interest rate again

    I am 41. Our mortgage origination date was 2016 and I am on track to have my house paid off around 2035, or sooner if I want to throw a lump sum at it at the end just to be done with it (remaining interest would be pennies, so not much saved in that regard). After that's paid off, unless I do...

    I need to see how I want to get it temporarily wired in, but I may try to get it mounted outside after work. There may be a some light, but the area behind my house is devoid of street lights. The ability to dial down the IR for the different channels should be helpful. Full blast at distance...

    PTZ Camera setup nightmare...

    Same. I saw that spec and immediately knew it was the issue. If only the Mini PTZ was a 4MP 1/1.8.

    Got to keep the people on their toes. I may not even use those replies, but wanted something at the top just in case. I was messing with it some more this morning. In addition to having IR control per channel, you can also control the IR LEDs L and R. If you need less IR up close on the R side...

    Due to my mounting situation, I decided to modify a PFB203 junction box. This required drilling and tapping additional holes, and the use of a printed spacer. I've attached a STP and STL file to this post (attached .zip file), if anyone wants to print their own spacer. The spacer has additional...

    What a load of sh*t!

    This isn't the video I saw, but this guy has had 100s of packages stolen, all filled with dog and cat poop.

    Best 'Identification' Camera for Pavement

    Not always. Focal length and angle can allow you to place the camera higher. The distance will help to make the angle shallower. This is 11' install height at a distance of 65' to the gate. You could easily ID with this.
