    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    I have no experience, obviously, but I'm hoping the nighttime imagery is enough to identify wildlife and I'm hoping the daylight footage is quality and not just some cheap trail camera. I'm guessing hoping it's as good as an iPhone's quality is probably asking too much though?

    Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I don't see a person in that photo. Not even after you telling me.

    I'm also trying to get a quote for this Bosch camera, but I'm guessing it's not going to be cheap...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    That's good to know, thanks. I may have to settle for a camera that has Starlight or some capability to see okay so long as it's not completely dark, without using IR. Although I have no idea if that would be more cost effective. I found this Dahua although I don't know if it has 940nm or...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    I think that is why I'm going to go with the 940nm "invisible IR" cameras. We have some cameras that glow like you say, and the moose and bears definitely react to them.

    This one accepts 240VAC, has four ports, and apparently allows for a fiber connection.

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    This POE switch takes 240VAC and has four ports for cameras which would probably be about right. I'm not sure how I would connect the fiber line to it though, perhaps that would require another device? I need to remember that I need 240V European standard instead of the 2 legs of 120V.

    I will definitely look for that, sounds like just the ticket. Much appreciated.

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Outstanding, thanks for all the inputs and shared experience. I'll take a look at some of those devices and hopefully be able to figure out a way to install the components in a buried waterproof box or something. The bears will tear up anything they find in the forest that doesn't belong. I'd...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    This is an ambitious project for sure and given my ignorance, I'd love to picks some brains here on how best to accomplish it. I have an off grid heavily forested property and I want to trench from a central location throughout the property to install hidden cameras in deadwood trees that I...

    Thanks for the add, hoping to learn how to use Python3 to control my EmpireTech PTZ

    Appreciate the chance to ask noob questions. I've got an EmpireTech PTZ1A2M-25X and I have toyed around with it using face detection and manual tracking using its native server/web based interface. Then in Python3 I've connected to it and had it return its hostname. Using onvif-zeep library...
