Hi All,
I live on a dense, urban street with neighbors on all sides. The street has people walking down it periodically, even through the night hours.
Flashing bright lights or even playing audio probably would annoy the neighbors. And @wittaj makes the good point that flashing a bright floodlight also can interfere with camera image exposure for a few seconds until the camera readjusts.
I am using the Dahua IPC-Color4K-T, which has some lights on it. My thought was to pulse the lights, smoothly like a laptop does, bright enough hopefully to attract attention and distinctive enough to warrant caution, but not bright enough to mess with exposure.
I was wondering if others had best practices they've found useful?
