My Latest Tree Camera

[Parley]

I already have a camera on the other side of the pine tree catching things going on in the other direction including people walking on the sidewalk. What I also needed was a good picture of the people walking on the sidewalk in the other direction. It was hard to get a face view from previous camera mountings. So, I decided to mount another camera in the pine tree facing the opposite direction. Here is a picture of the camera in the Pine tree and a picture from the camera. You can really get a close up of someone walking by.

Picture from yesterday afternoon before I finalized the position of the camera.

Very nice, really disappears unless you are looking right at the camera.

I forgot to say that I have this camera wrapped in Camouflage tape along with the mounting hardware and the cable. The camera and the mounts are hard to see from the sides. The camera is a Dahua 5442E-ZE. Now if Dahua would just come out with a varifocal bullet with a 1/1.2 " sensor I will be very happy.

When the tree is 30 foot tall you will be able to see the neighborhood next to yours , just kidding...

Perfect and will only be noticed by those whose intent is causing mischief such as the mean looking guy in the third photo, save that one for future reference

He is one of the well know denizens of the neighborhood. He is actually a retired school teacher.

Actually, in the first photo, the house that you see is in the next city. My backyard fence is in next city. When I bought the house, we tore down the wood back fence and used the brick wall of the house behind me. Gained a couple of feet.

Hopefully no one with a tree saw will steal your CAM...but like all our CAMs we will have the footage...

When I repositioned our front yard CAM it was due to our tree that grew which got in the way. Where it is mounted now it will be a future issue too in a few more years, but I will need to keep it trimmed good, guessing no branches below 6 feet once fully grown.
