    A bear visitor?

    Damn Q, those Killer Shrews look just like the creature behind my shed. I'm never going back there again at night without my AR-15 in hand.

    A bear visitor?

    But I'm not in Australia. :D

    A bear visitor?

    Yes, the creature that drank from the creek waters of the nearby nuclear plant is back and he brought his friends.

    A bear visitor?

    It does appear to have a long tail which would eliminate a bear. A friend suggested it might be a very large cat or possibly a panther.

    A bear visitor?

    LOL. Good one Q. Night Crawler would be a great name for the mysterious creature. :D

    A bear visitor?

    There's been many guesses over the last couple of years but nobody knows for sure what it is. Some of the guesses have been a Wallaby, Wallaroo, Raccoon with mange, Coyote with mange, Fox with mange, ET and of course ALF. Whatever it is, it had to climb a 6' fence to get onto my property. I...

    A bear visitor?

    Most likely too big to be a Cockapoo and too small to be Sasquatch (unless it's a toddler Bigfoot). Maybe the creature that showed up here almost 3 years ago came to visit again?

    A bear visitor?

    Here's the short video with the critter taking off when the motion activated sprinkler scared the hell out of it. :)

    A bear visitor?

    I'm not positive that this is a bear but by the size and distance, I suspect it is. One of my old Dericam H502W cameras captured a short video of it. It was only in the video capture for a couple of seconds because one of my motion activated sprinklers scared it off. Unfortunately my other HD...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I just ordered one. Will be my first v2.

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    Thanks, I'll look into the DS-2CD2F42FWD-IWS. I noticed they're available on Ali for around $150 with free shipping.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I'm through dealing with Monica. There's no support after the sale with her. She's only interested in selling more cameras and can care less about any after sales failures. I'll most likely be switching over to imporx as others have done, plus they're priced lower than what Monica offers.

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    If Amcrest is crap, is there any recommendations for a decent indoor PT camera with a mic? I already have a couple of Hik 2432's but was wondering if there's anything comparable that includes pan/tilt. Almost ordered a Amcrest HD but after reading some negative posts about this camera, might...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    Maybe it wasn't the heat that killed mine. Guess it's possible that a weak component just failed, but it did happen on the hottest day so far this year. Oh well, I got spare parts. :D

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    That's a good idea, although I don't know which circuit board is defective. There are two boards of which one is most likely causing the failure. One board looks like a motor control board which is connected to another board that has power fed directly to it. Wish I had a spare v1 that could...

    When I say that she says "How many you want buy?"

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    Thanks Klasipca, I'll definitely be contacting Jack. Better price than what Monica has to offer. She's not interested in support when there's a problem. It's all about sales for her.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    She already told me that I would have to pay to ship it back. I don't think they have a USA address for returns. As always, it's a gamble when ordering from China. I guess one's luck will run out sooner or later when ordering from there. Not a big deal though. This is the first problem I've had...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    Monica said I could ship it back for repair, but of course that is not an option because of the cost to ship it to China. She said she would sell me a new V2 camera for about $150 including shipping. Geesh, I think I'll go shopping elsewhere. :sad2: And now she asks me using Skype, how many I...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I can relate to that.:) I use these: https://www.amazon.com/Donegan-OptiVISOR-Headband-Magnifier-Magnification/dp/B0068OSIIS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1466140309&sr=8-4&keywords=magnifying+headset but with 2x power.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I was an electronics tech for 26 years and did component level diagnosis and repair, but I prefer board level repairs now that I'm retired. Eye's aren't as good as they used to be. :D

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I tried to explain to Monica what the problem was but with the language barrier, it makes it difficult. I sent a couple of emails explaining the problem and also using whatsapp to text her. The camera was working fine but then one day it failed. I tried both PoE and a 12 volt power supply but...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I have to stay positive about this camera failure. Just think of all the spare parts I'll have including motors, lens, led's, etc. :peaceful: The Huisun ptz cameras are still my favorites and I plan on ordering at least one v2 camera, but will wait to hear back from Monica regarding the dead...

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    Does yours get direct sunlight in the afternoon? Mine was toast at around 3:00 PM with direct sunlight on it. At that time, the temp was about 98F.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I sent Monica an email about the camera that died. Will post her response when I hear back from her. It's around 5:40 AM in China, so it might be a while. I think it probably was the heat that killed mine. :(

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    Ooops, my mistake, the 12v & RJ45 connections go directly to a circuit board that's mounted on the lens assembly, so it could be either board causing the problem. Will see what Monica has to say.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I think I'll give it a shot and send her an email and put in a request for the circuit board. If that small board is causing the problem, then it should be a fairly easy fix. Does she still have the yahoo.com email address? I can also contact her using whatsapp.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    I disassembled the dead camera today. I suspect the culprit is probably the small circuit board which is connected to the 12v supply and RJ45 connections. This board also controls the PT motors.

    Huisun 10x v1 mini PTZ completely dead

    All of my v1 have Poe. I still haven't taken the one that croaked apart yet. Hope to get around to it something in the next few days. Hopefully this isn't something that's going to happen to others after a few months.
