    Who Is Digging Up My Underground POE Cables

    I had something digging in my yard night after night. I caught a skunk on camera as well. The good thing is, your skunk is probably just digging for insects and is not interested in your cabling.

    They are a fun camera. I have two and they certainly are the most entertaining.

    How do you seal an unused 12V Connector on the camera?

    I didn't do anything to any of the other connections on all my cameras. Everything is tucked away inside my enclosed soffits. I didn't do anything with the extra wires on my previous camera system either and they were all working perfectly after years of service.

    Do I need a IR Illuminator?

    That would be icing on the cake for sure.

    Do I need a IR Illuminator?

    True, part of me wanted to get a 180 just to try it out. My 4K-T's are working out well especially since I have been going all out with accessory LED lighting. It really doesn't take much for these 4K-T's to see good at night. I didn't have any lighting around the house before. It would be...

    Do I need a IR Illuminator?

    I just bought another 4k-T during the sale but I'm kinda wishing I would have bought the 180 instead.

    Do I need a IR Illuminator?

    Seems like that would make a great spotter cam for a PTZ.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    He can't be all bad because he has a MAGA hat on. Of course it could be that he's bald and badly sun burnt.

    Do I need a IR Illuminator?

    I third the suggestion on an additional IR illuminator. It helped me considerably on my mini PTZ cam. In the left photo it shows the onboard IR with striping and IR glare off the dome. The right photo is the onboard IR turned off and my external IR illuminator turned on.

    Has anyone set up a solar street light?

    When I first started setting up my new camera system, I installed new hard wired soffit LED lights where my 4K-T cams were. I didn't want to use the onboard lighting because of bugs. I also installed LED soffit lighting on my detached garage and shop. I kinda went all out since I wanted good...

    Has anyone set up a solar street light?

    I may just have to go with a wired model. Our winters here can be dark and gloomy.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Selecting AI Codec definitely curbed the pulsing but I'd get momentary blurring when panning. Didn't like that. My WB is set to outdoor and lowering saturation did not help. Besides.......I like my higher saturation!! :cool:

    The human mind and body needs to be busy to flourish. What works well is when people have healthy positive things to keep their mind and body busy like a full time job, family, etc. I think that having struggles in your life helps keep you fighting and on track. We all know there are periods...

    Those KASA brand switches and plugs are great. I fought with my Wemo crap for years and recently replaced everything with KASA stuff. It just works!! Those are some great prices.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I have to say that I couldn't be happier with my twin Tendelux illuminators paired with my mini PTZ. The night vision compared to the stock onboard IR is leaps and bounds better. It really puts the mini PTZ over the top. I did go ahead and order some of the 18/2 gauge wire, 2.1x5.5 DC power...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Not only the 18 gauge wire but I'd also get a more robust power supply. The included PSU's get pretty darn warm. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077PW5JC3?tag=bravesoftwa04-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US
