    Trail Camera

    Anyone know anything about trail cams? I am having a difficult time getting any triggers from cats with the camera 7 feet away from a feral feeding station. I see some cameras say CMOS Sensor and some SONY Starvis Sensor. (Just branding?) Any difference? Very frustrating. Thank you

    Camera Faceoff: Dahua Starlight IPC-T5442TM-AS vs Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    Oh no! I don't think I have enough beta particles in my backyard. I think I am stuck with the damn IR lamp.

    Camera Faceoff: Dahua Starlight IPC-T5442TM-AS vs Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    Will be interested to hear more replies. You don't sound like you are sure. I really hate the aesthetics of that IR lamp in my back yard.

    Camera Faceoff: Dahua Starlight IPC-T5442TM-AS vs Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    My external IR is on a dusk/dawn timer. I did disable the IR in the camera. The thing I still don't quite see an answer to is if there is a camera that can produce a usable image with no light.

    Camera Faceoff: Dahua Starlight IPC-T5442TM-AS vs Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    Hmmm, so much to learn, so many variables! That really didn't occur to me. Given that, I would really like the varifocal, but there will be almost no light. So should I go with the lowest lux models?

    I was thinking about the varifocal, but this new N1 has an F1 Aperture, lower lux. I currently have an IR lamp outside. Want to see if maybe I could do without it.

    I am really not very sensitive as to the form factor. It will sit on a shelf indoor looking out a third floor window.

    New low light camera

    Thank you for the very useful info. The camera I have works pretty well for me. I just like to see what wildlife was in the backyard overnight. Although I must say I would love to have a camera that would catch the huge owl I have. He is just a blur flying by with the current set up.

    New low light camera

    Any better, lower light camera? I had an outdoor IR lamp, but they do not seem to last long and I hate to turn on the outdoor floods. It keeps the animals away. Thank you for the tip on the lens. I was wondering which would be best. The camera is in the 3rd floor window of my house.

    New low light camera

    I have a DS-2cd2412F-IW on a shelf looking out a window/IR disabled to watch wildlife in the backyard. Are there any cameras on the market now that can operate with no light or much less light than my old camera requires? I am willing to spend up to 250. Thank you

    I can not find these files to playback

    Remote Host IP on the log is .85 The wired camera is on .84. I think the .85 has something to do with using the camera wirelessly. Which I don't intend to do.

    I am shooting thru glass with night outside light source. Do I need anything beyond the basic event set up?

    I recently moved and had to reset the camera. I have an SD card in the camera and had no problem with playback before. Thank you for any help.
