    Attempted Auto Theft

    Not mine but this was on the local news. This guy breaks out the back window of the truck and tries to steal it in broad daylight. Luckily the owner accidentally left the lights on and the battery was dead. He did get away with her favorite hat though. The quality from the security camera...

    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

    My three Huisun v1 cameras have been working flawless for months until yesterday. The one on my deck quit working. I was using PoE to power it but tried 12 volt power adapters also with no luck. No sign of life. PTZ motors do nothing when power is supplied to the camera. Anyone else had this...

    Suspicious dude jogs through yards

    This is an early morning BI motion capture at my sisters house. There has been car prowlers in her neighborhood in the past. One of my sisters friends had items stolen out of her truck while parked in front of the house. I thought it was a little strange that this guy appears to be working on...

    Moisture inside Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I on lens

    I recently sold a Hik 2032 to a friend and helped him install it. After a few weeks of rainy weather, the image is very cloudy. It appears that there's moisture on the inside on the lens. Has anyone else had this problem with a Hik 2032? I'm going to try and disassemble it and clean the lens...

    Fat bird ready for the BBQ

    Just kidding. I would never harm these little birds but I have to admit that this little guy is really fat. Guess I shouldn't be feeding them so much. Maybe I should name him 'Fat Albert'. :D

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

    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.

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Thanks to @metro and his idea for making a battery operated baby monitor, I decided to make one of my Hik 2432's completely portable so that I could demo the camera to friends and clients. I'm using a TP-Link nano travel router, Hik2432 camera, Anker battery pack, USB volt/amp meter and a...

    Wireless digital thermometer with remote monitoring

    I was thinking about ordering a wireless thermometer that could be monitored using a iPhone or Android phone or tablet from any locations. I was wondering if anyone else here has one of these or something similar or any recommendations for something better. Always looking for new gadgets. :)...

    Curiosity killed the cat (not really)

    One of my shed cameras picked up this curious kitty snooping around an area where mice and birds have their meals and drinks. This camera is about 12 inches above the ground and records mice, insects, birds and any other critter that shows up under the lean-to. No animals were harmed in the...

    Hawk takes out Quail in the blink of an eye

    Just finished throwing out corn for the Quail, Doves and Pheasants. Hawk decides to have dinner too. Poor Quail didn't know what hit him/her. Happened so fast that the only thing left was feathers.

    Car drives by with doors open

    Thought this was kind of strange. At first thought it was a runaway car until it turned the corner. :) Recorded with Huisun mini bullet ptz in BI.

    Poker 10x PTZ camera motion activated BI recording

    I bought two of the Poker 10x PTZ cameras back in 2014. This is a BI motion activated recording today of a whitetail buck that looks like he recently shed his antlers. The Poker's have worked well for me, although they are kind of slow to focus, especially the first version of the camera (this...

    Huisun's handling cold snowy weather and low temps so far

    It got down to 2° F (-17C) here last night. The Huisun's and my other cameras handled it fine. So far, no problems. I'm sure that others are getting colder temps in their locations, especially in the mid-west and east. How are the Huisun's holding up for you?

    Huisun PTZ and Hik 2432 have a working relationship

    The Hik 2432 and the Huisun PTZ work well together with the Huisun mounted behind the Hik. The Hik supplies the audio to the Huisun using BI and the Huisun lights up the area with its powerful IR LED's for the Hik. They were meant for each other. :) Here's a comparison with the Huisun IR's...

    Merry Christmas from the Roomba dog

    Many of you have probably seen this before but thought I'd post it for those that haven't and for those that would like to see it again. I personally have four iRobots and always get a kick out of watching this around Christmas and New Years.

    Huisun PTZ zoomed in on cat prowlers

    I thought I would see what kind of critters crawl under my gate during the night, so I zoomed in on the gate at about 7x and left it there all night. This was motion recorded in BI. I joined two separate MP4 files showing them coming and going to make the video shorter. These cat prowlers look...

    Watch your delivered packages (especially this time of the year)

    This guy had a doorbell camera which probably didn't help much this time. Other cameras correctly mounted at the right heights might have helped identify this low-life. This is all too common, especially just before Christmas. Hope they catch the P.O.S...

    Why does one camera show heavy snow fall and others not showing any snow?

    This is strange. We're getting pounded with a snow storm in my area. Most of my cameras are showing the heavy snow fall but a couple of cameras are not showing any snow at all. The cameras are working fine. Just not sure why they're not showing the snow. Any idea why this is?

    Hikvision ds-2cd2032 captures

    Here's a couple of captures from a Hik 2032 that I sold to a client. To me, the image quality is not that great. He seems happy with it but guess I'm kind of spoiled with the image quality from my Huisun's and ESC's. I only have one Hik 2032 left and will probably sell it too. My ESC cameras...

    Huisun 10x mini PTZ Front Door (deck) installation

    I finished installing the 2nd Huisun mini ptz camera today. It will be replacing one of my Hikvision 2432's that was sitting on a table. I'll leave the other Hik 2432 mounted above the window so that the Huisun can share the audio from the Hik. Here's a couple of installation pics with one...

    Huisun night capture of crippled buck

    Camera view after wind storm

    Here's a capture from one of my outside garage cameras after the wind storm that we had in Washington and Idaho. All of the cameras on the south side of the garage were affected. The storm caused over 350,000 power outages across Wash. state with winds reaching over 100 mph in some areas. I was...

    Huisun 10x PTZ mini-bullet garage installation

    Finally got the Huisun 10x PTZ mini-bullet camera installed on my garage today. Nothing fancy about the install but it took a while to route the cable from the PoE switch. I'm really starting to like this camera. The image quality is great. Anxious to see how it compares with the other cameras...

    Huisun 10x PTZ 2MP mini PoE bullet camera inside testing in complete darkness

    I mounted the camera inside my house on the end of a table about 1 meter above the floor to do some testing before mounting it on the garage. The camera is running off a standard 802.3af TP-Link PoE Injector. The short test was done in complete darkness. So far I really like this mini bullet...
