Camera suggestions for dark areas at night

But you are right, maybe the OP gets all this info and then decides against it and go buys some cheap Reolink with the Ring of LEDs and complains about spider webs LOL. Oh and some Reolinks come with a ring of LEDs whether it is bullet or turret for your spider watching enjoyment LOL.

We never see that here :lmao:

I like bacon as well, but not with my cameras :). And yes, eggs are more expensive right now, but they will eventually stabilize, they always do. It wasn't so long ago that the egg prices were high - couple 2, 3 years ago.

Don't know the condition of your soon to be new to you camera, But on a used camera that is at least 2+ years old I would take the front off and remove the camera from the housing. I would remove and replace the Gel Packs in the camera I personally use Dry & Dry and at the same time go over the circuit board to look for any signs of early death. If you happen to notice the Bridge Rectifiers or protection diode looking like it has been hot and is ready to go soon you may know where to look if the camera fails.. If not a Circuit fan then at the least I would replace the Gel packs and that will help aid keeping the camera fresh.. I know there are people that have had cameras in use for years and never worry about such things. In my area any camera that is exposed to the weather directly gets a new Gel pack/s every year and the ones that are under cover I will pack them every 2 or 3 depending on the cameras use case.. I live in a very humid area with loads of rain and snow. I have cameras that I have been using as far back as 2010 that are still working like new. Maybe a dome or 2 could use replacing now lol.. Only ones that I don't replace the gels on often is my cameras with built in heaters. I let them go 3 to 5 years depending on location. I would also look at the RJ45 connector and with any luck they used the camera in an area and or had it water proofed so there is no damage in the end. If it is looking like it might fail soon there.. I support the Right to Repair and like to keep things working like new for as long as it can..

Where does one acquire gel packs from?
 
@wittaj ,
Well, after looking back, I admit I've been somewhat of a prick. Not to make excuses but I think this radiation and chemotherapy has taken its toll. Not sure if that's the case but I don't know....never been in this spot before.

Anyway, since I was prick publicly I'm apologizing publicly....wittaj, I apologize to you and anyone else that I may also have shown my ass to recently.

I intend to do better and as best as I can. Unfortunately, my oncology doctor told me yesterday that next week I will start 12 to 16 weeks of I.V. chemo at the clinic, twice a week on top of re-starting the oral chemo at home.

Wish me luck and and I'm not ashamed to also say that prayers are also welcomed. :)

No apologies necessary!

We all wake up on the wrong side of the bed every now and again.

And stub our toe and choke on our bacon :lmao:

And sometimes humor is missed by text.

Anyway best of luck on your journey and prayers coming your way!

PS - show your ass in the arjun thread, he isn't picky :lmao:

Yes, text is left to interpretation of the reader and can come across a LOT differently than what was originally meant by the person who typed it. Without the actual voice inflection, tone and demeanor, it can be difficult to properly process the message as it was intended. Sometimes we get lucky, and sometimes we don't

Prayers. Forgiveness,
I've Been thru weekly bags of Chemo.
back in 85, when I was 24.
I resisted their prescription of the anti-nausea and or anti-psych drugs for a few weeks,
eventually my body knew when Wednesday 10 AM was coming and Tuesdays I'd start getting dry heaves.
So yeah, Haldol ( look it up, fun drug) and something else.

And this is why I think the "younger generation" (not sure how far back) is going to have trouble in the future with in-person, one-on-one relationships. When you spend way too much time texting or emailing and less time talking face-to-face or at least talking on a phone you don't learn how to observe, interpret and use body language, facial expressions, etc. and in most cases (when no audible phone) voice inflections to actually know with any accuracy if a person is mad, being sarcastic, being rude or trying to be funny.

IMO this is also the reason why a phone conversation can detract tremendously from a person's driving ability because of the intense focus on the voice to compensate for no body language or facial expressions available.......only voice.
 
i like turtles.
Is there such a thing as turtle bacon? If so, it's likely VERY expensive.
</end crude attempt a humor, this inserted to compensate for no body language or facial expressions available to properly comvey this overly verbose post>

:winktongue:

Oh I already see it. They have no clue how to interact with someone in person. It is sad.

I was in a chiropractic waiting room yesterday for about 20 minutes while my wife got an adjustment. There was a mid-40's mom and her teenage daughter sitting next to her out there and the entire time both were on their phones, surfing, texting, etc. Not a single word was spoken between them. Hopefully they do talk some because those missed opportunities seldom, if ever, return. :(
