$99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam
I don't know about the Amcrest, but if I remember right, the Foscam's had four tiny screws on the bottom. I believe two were under rubber feet and two were under seals that covered the holes. I don't think I unplugged all the cables. I mainly wanted to get to the underside of the circuit board... -
$99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam
You might be able to repair it. I've had three indoor Foscam 8910W's that got drenched with hoses washing off a covered deck above them. I was able to repair all three of them by taking out the circuit boards and cleaning them with a brush and alcohol. Two were at my Mom's house and one at a... -

Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
Here's the Hik 2432 and the mini router on separate batteries. Camera is outside in this capture at about 40' distance from router. -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I've almost completed the project. Ordered a separate battery for the router so I don't need to have the router close to the camera running off the same battery. Will post a pic of the setup in the next day or two. Solar panels would be a plus to keep the batteries charged. -
Talented birds create pig head sculpture
I get at least 50 quail a day but actually more like a hundred. I know, I spoil them with a guaranteed breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like the noises they make too. Cute little birds they are. :)- Larebear

Talented birds create pig head sculpture
I haven't seen any rats but I get a mouse every night that chows down on the cracked corn and the flock block. I figure he doesn't eat much though. Once in a while a squirrel will show up, but not too often. I used to throw peanuts out there but the damn magpies would steal them, so I stopped...- Larebear

Talented birds create pig head sculpture
I think you are right. They're trying to tell me that game birds are off limits and to stick with pork. No more 'pheasant under glass' for dinner. :)- Larebear

These birds have been working on this sculpture for weeks. Looks like a pig head to me. :)- Larebear

Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
Thanks alexvas. I made some of the changes that you suggested. Also using the Hardware+ decoder. So far seems to be working fine. :) -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I tried to measure the amps with my 'Kill A Watt' meter but there must be something wrong with the meter. I powered the camera with a 12V 2A power adapter plugged into the meter and it only showed .15 (150ma) with IR's on and the camera doing PT. If the Huisun's power usage is about 11 or 12... -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
That may be a great idea. Now you got me thinking about it. I don't know much about solar panels. Would this solar panel be overkill? -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I made a short video today showing the Huisun ptz and xiaomi router totally portable using the Anker battery pack for power. I'm using my Samsung Galaxy Tab S and the TinyCam Pro app for viewing the camera. I set the camera for auto-patrol and it didn't seem to have much effect on battery... -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I really like the xiaomi. It works very well as a portable/travel router and it did come with PandoraBox installed. As you recommended, I sent them a message to make sure the router included PandoraBox. They said it would and it did. :) -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
Received the Y power cable and was able to power both the Huisun ptz camera and the xiaomi router for about 8 hours using the Anker battery pack. Part of the time was with the IR LED's on. Plenty of time available to demo the cameras. :) -

Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I set up my spare Huisun today using the Anker battery pack for power. I used the xiaomi router connected directly to the Huisun and was able to monitor it using the TinyCam Pro app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. (Love that app) I wasn't able to supply power from the battery to both the camera and... -

Wireless digital thermometer with remote monitoring
Received the weather station kit and it was easy to set up. Placed one of the sensors in my freezer, one inside the house and one outside. Works great! Was able to access the temperatures at all three areas with my phone and tablet while at various locations. Will post some pics later. Ok, has... -

Young moose comes to visit on other side of fence
I think this is one of the calves that walked down the street in front of my house with its mom and sibling back in October. It most likely could smell the corn that I put out for the birds. The camera is about 3 meters from the fence. Recorded with a ESC IPC1-V 2.0mp varifocal camera.- Larebear

Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
I'll probably get the Huisun setup to run portable this weekend or maybe sooner. I'm curious about how long it will run too, especially when using ptz. -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
Thought about making my spare Huisun 10x ptz portable, although it would probably drain the battery in less time. Might try it anyway using the other mini router. -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
The battery can supply 9v or 12v, which is selectible with the button on the side of the battery. Of course it also supplies 5v through the USB ports. That might work as a backup cam, but you'd need to protect the Hik 2432 from the elements being that it's an indoor camera. :) -
Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack
You're welcome. That portable setup should work well for you in monitoring your load shift and at the bike shows. The battery should be good for at least 14 hours. I haven't drained my battery completely but after 10 hours it still had 40% remaining, so I would guess it would be good for a few...
