    Well, I can see WHY a Sports photographer would use a camera like that, in case they get that epic shot where sweat is dripping and the grimace is on the face etc. I don't understand using it in San Francisco though, I guess to capture them laying around playing Pokemon or something?

    Huh. Well maybe they are great now, since the China Off Shore Trading Company only sells 1000% Incredible quality products. I would be surprised if you said you haven't tried to Frankenstein a bunch of Cams from your boxes of parts.

    Well, that's as simple as Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun. I'll never ever know what you just said, so Night Owl it is! With a name like that, how could it not be perfect? AND they are extremely inexpensive, AND I can't get stats about...

    Looked up "Security Camera brands"... Didn't know Bosch and Honeywell made them. Other than that and Reolink, the list only had Dahua and Hikvision that I had heard of... Both Chinese companies... Not made in China, but Owned... But Why not? What could go wrong, right? This list is shrinking...

    Ok, I'm trying to think how much the Reolinks have moved since I don't need the ladder, but I will take a few Hurricane cams for sure! This might have been asked a Million times, but WHY isn't there a Manufacturer that makes A CAMERA with all the bells and whistles within the GREEN Zone while...

    Ok, thanks. I will check it out. Ok, with a varifocal, can you move it left and right? If they are "ladder" fixed, I will need to have all PTZ if for nothing else than we have Dorothy wind around here whenever 24/7. Ok. If it can show the 50 feet of my Driveway E-W, then it's wide enough. I'll...

    Looking at your last post, those images look like what my Reolink's produce when the Neighbor's IR is Off and when it's On. Unfortunately, No Deer have shown up when the IR is on, so I have no idea if they are Ghosts or not... I'll go out myself and run around the street the next time the IR is...

    Yeah, the only good thing about cheap junk these days is people generally know to avoid it, but the Reolink systems aren't cheap. I bet I could get a no name brand off Alibaba that beats what I have. My problem with new learning is I need a chart for everything until I have a grasp... My...

    Ok, I'm gonna get Rich soon by standing on the road with a "Feel my Hairy Legs, $1" Sign... Then, after my PTSD stay in the Cuckoos Nest for a few Years along with 27,000 showers, I will pay somebody to figure out the cameras! Or, I will simply not care and push a shopping cart around the...

    Ok, so I see this cam, which is in the HEAVY RED on the chart at 8MP and it's barely a C-Note.... It's in the GREEN at 2.1MP... So this camera would basically be 8MP during the day and reliably 2.1MP at Night? https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/amcrest-4k-8mp-outdoor-ip-camera/

    I know what you're saying about using 2 cameras. That's where I will eventually be. How did you know I wanted them to record The Golden Girls? I'm on the way Blanche... Don't you go anywhere now, you hear?

    Ok, I may be new to cameras, like a Year old, but I'm MANY more years than that in Real life, and I know everything in Hollywood is 100% True... That's why they put up that Huge Sign! I'm like so sure. Reolink says you can digitally zoom in 16MP. 4K.... "RLC-823S2 cameras support optical zoom...

    Ok, in my perfect scenario, recording all night whatever happens and then being able to clearly zoom in is what I'm looking for. In Parley's example, I could get home and see the strange Jeep and zoom in to get the plate. In your Uhaul, I could be recording nothing and then pause the video and...

    I'm not going to match your Deer, but mine is fine from up close. It doesn't become a Ghost until 20 Feet. When I see camera ratings on this site, will there be pictures or videos from 30 Feet or so?

    Yeah, I hear you on the tracking part. I would have both in an optimal setup, and I will go that far when I find cameras that work. As far as 2 perps tricking the cameras so one can break in, that one knows He will be shot, so nobody volunteers to be that one. It's all for property damage /...

    THAT's who makes the Ghost shows! "Did you hear that sound"??? "It must be somebody!".... Then they show a Reolink Video! I'll try to make a video in a few nights to see what I get. I'm more frustrated with it recording a Deer clear as can be and then losing interest and quitting after 8...

    You have helped more in a couple of hours than the entirety of me wanting and owning cameras. Reolink is okay in responses until they know you reach the point where the things are Bricks. Then they back off. All that said, I'm just dumb enough (Hello... Said Caveman) and Stubborn enough to try...

    HAHA that bad huh? I went with Reolink because I could use my Computer to view (Before I knew what Blue Iris was)... AND... I emailed Lorex questions because I could just get them at Costco. Lorex took a Month to get back to me and didn't have a record of my questions. So, just because me...

    Huh. They never said that to me after I told them the cameras didn't work several times. Maybe because I wanted to trade them in for a different model. Now that I want to return them, they are Ghosts like the Deer! Don't need good luck with the AG though... Companies are TERRIFIED of the AG...

    Well, I will tell them I will give them a couple of weeks (Still have 11 Months). If nothing by then, they can talk to my Attorney General. That usually results in a message like "We would love to give you everything you ask for." As far as Powerline adapters, do they need to all be the...

    Ok, my Router is of course hooked into Powerline Adapter 1... I run computers on all the other Adapters... So if I have 6 extra Adapters running the new cameras, how does the Blue Iris or other software figure that out?

    My favorites are Ghost Deer. I hope they are Reptilians though, since the Gubment is talking about that now.
