Hikvision bullet with x-ray vision?!

[Francisco73]

Two Hikvision bullets mounted on a PVC pipe in front of a hard ware store. Should I tell the owner of the store to cut the branches?View attachment 33290 View attachment 33290 View attachment 33290 View attachment 33290 ?

IMO, if you have to point out to someone something so obvious, then he's not even looking at the monitor / camera output....he could be missing something!

The owner has invested in several (at least four) reasonable Hikvision cameras. Some other cameras are a bit too high but the ones at the gate outside are ok except for the branches. Yeah, apparently nobody has noticed that the cameras at the gate have limited view at the moment or they just do not care.

Installed at fall time? So everything looked OK?

My guess is that they cut the branches before installing and should do it every 3-4 months. Some plants grow really fast in Sri Lanka where I am.

Be a good neighbor and whack them down next time you go by there. Then pop into the hardware store and tell them that there was some trees blocking their cams and that you trimmed them up for them. Then leave them a card. Good business practice.

GREAT idea. Maybe 2 pictures from exact spot, "before" and "after".

Then tell the hardware store that you are a camera guy and an arbourist

Where I live you'd likely have to say "tree guy" otherwise they'd think you were claiming to be some far-left political activist.

I have also thought about before and after pictures. I will have to buy PVC pipes and other stuff anyway for my new cameras and can ask the owner for advice, take a good look at what he has done, buy stuff and talk about the bushes. Maybe he will give a discount? I have heard about another hard ware store here that has 21 cameras. Lots of cash since people pay in cash.
