I forgot to turn my motion capture off and after finding all the captures I decided not to waste them.

Amazing how much money you can spend just making the ground a little flatter, eh?

That was pretty cool! what kind of camera is that? What is the distance from the camera all the way out there to those two buildings ?

the camera is a indoor swann ads-446. Amazon.com : Swann SWADS-446CAM-US Cloud HD Pan and Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera with Smart Alerts (Black) : Camera & Photo
I mounted this on the inside of the garage door window. It is approx. 70 to 80 yards from the camera to the building behind the cement pad.
amazingly i have the settings on this camera set real low for night vision. Having it mounted on the inside of the garage window causes reflection problems with the IR's so i adjusted the color, brightness, etc so that i can see at night during a full moon/snowy night without IR's.
When this camera's setting are set real high it is a unbelievably awesome picture.
After dealing with tech support for a week daily i figured out how to use this camera properly. The documentation provided by Swann is crap. The actual camera itself is really nice. But if you are idiot beginner like I was beware this camera is not user friendly to beginners.

Very nice. So that does not go to an NVR, it is cloud storage?
I heard a guy at work jokingly say to another guy that his garage was so big he could turn a cement truck around in it.
Yours is literally big enough to turn a cement truck around in!!
I wish I had that kind of storage space.

It does not goto a NVR. I am simply running Blue Iris on my pc desktop. Blue Iris saved the captures via motion activation to a folder.
