    Neighborhood vandalize from street - need some input on camera setting to get better image of car

    Until now i haven't really needed a close up on the street, i have 2 other overview camera's that catch the street. This camera is normally zoomed on my front porch/sidewalk. So might try one of 5442 as a addition for this project.

    Looking to add another turret starlight to replace a bullit cam that become pointless every-night because of spider webs. I temporary placed one of my 5231 in the location to determine the zoom. Using the tool found that a 10mm lens would be optimal. Like to save the $50 and get another 4231...

    +1 on the IP2M-841 I used a pair of them very effectively for this purpose. Also check out a app “Baby Monitor” by Tiny Solutions it has a squelch and sound level alarm feature that will Run In the background.

    opinions on camera placements

    I swapped positions to move Varifocal starlight from Driveway to Parking, to get a tighter zoom on my cars (good point @bigredfish). Would love to get a wire over to the frontporch but no good way to do that (that i know). Waiting for a better doorbell cam option to work with BI, i have a...
