    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    I have been looking at this camera for a few days now and finally decided to order it. It has a big 4/3" sensor. It is a 12mm to 48mm varifocal IP camera. I like the 90-degree view at the 12mm setting. There is a good chance that I can replace two cameras with it. It is also has a 4K resolution...

    Neighbor's House got Toilet Papered

    This happened about a week ago and I decided today to put it on YouTube and post it here. At this time, they had just changed out the streetlights to LEDs. I have since upped the shutter rate to 1/125th of a second at night on these cameras and I am still playing with the new settings. Here is...

    New LED Street Lights in My Neighborhood

    What a difference this makes. No more AC voltage wave cycles to deal with plus a nice bright white light. Now I have to go back and readjust my cameras. I have already upped the shutter speed on a lot of them. The problem for this time of year is that it does not get dark until after 9PM and I...

    Urban Coyote Out For His Morning Walk By My House

    He gets dived bombed by a crow and at the end he meets up with a couple and their two dogs coming down the street towards the end of the video. They meet face to face and the coyote decides to cross the street. We have had a number of coyote sightings lately; it must be the season for them.

    Coyote Stalking Man With Small Dog

    This happened a few weeks ago and I am just now getting around to editing and posting this. The man is just at the right edge of the screen and the small dog cannot be seen. However, you can see the coyote spot them and goes into the bushes to try and sneak up on them and grab the dog. The dog...

    Color Picture Has a Green Image. Fixed

    One of my 5442E-Z4E S3 license plate cameras had a green image while in color during the daylight hours. If I put it in black and white mode everything was fine. By the way this camera goes into black and white at night. So, after some trouble shooting I found the problem. Now this camera is set...

    Loose Dog Running Down The Street???

    I am out walking my dog this morning and I was just across the street from my house on the way home. I look down the street and I see this loose dog coming my way. I hurry up to the house as I do not want any confrontations. So, a little later I decide to review my video to see if I know the...

    My Neighbors And My Cameras

    I have seen threads about what their neighbors think of their cameras. As far as I know, I have nobody that does not want the cameras on my house. In the last two weeks I have had neighbors come by and drop off gifts thanking me for my cameras. Earlier this week a neighbor dropped off a box of...

    Range Finder

    Does anyone on here have any insights into a good range finder at a reasonable price? I see a lot of them in the $80 range. This will not be used on the golf range and probably not for hunting. One use of course will be the distances from my IP cameras.

    Who Is Digging Up My Underground POE Cables

    I am taking the dog out for a walk this morning and I noticed that someone was digging up the ground right where my underground POE cables are run. First thing that came to mind was sabotage. In the video the cables are at the base of the pine tree at the right side. There is also a big fake...

    My WizMind X IPC-HFW71242H-Z-X Camera Showed Up Today

    Looks Like Internet Explorer Died Today

    This morning it was working fine to view my Hikvision NVR's. Then this afternoon I wanted to look at something and when I clicked to open IE it reverted me back to Windows Edge. I could not browse the NVRs using the IP addresses. So, come to find out Edge does have a section that will open in...

    Best Way To Dispose Of Old IP Cameras

    I have maybe 15 older Dahua and Hikvision IP cameras that I want to dispose of. I have already outfitted two neighbors houses with some of the better cameras and NVRs. These are probably still better than the Costco cameras. Just wondering what some of you have done with your old cameras?

What I also needed was a good picture of the people walking on the sidewalk in the other direction. It was hard to get a face view from previous...
