Outdoor Webcam

[t84a]

I'm looking to help our marina upgrade the webcam. Take a look at http://www.microseven.com/tv/livevideo-amrpotapsco.html. I'd like the cam to perform mechanically the same but would like a better resolution and also a camera that is compatible with mobile devices. It is hardwired back to the router. Thanks.

Cool. Thanks Is it weather proof? I don't see a clear cover at all.

I second his suggestion. They are great cameras. I have one myself and it works amazing. This one is weather proof. It does not need a dome around it. It is designed that way for better optics. Less plastic glare. The zoom capability is marvelous. Should come with the mount in the box.

That's awesome. So can this be installed using a single CAT5 run? That's what's in place. Thanks

How's it handle the snow? not that we've gotten much lately :sad2:

It requires either POE+ over the Cat5 or a separate run for 24v AC.

mines been packed with it and completely blinded, just had to reclibrate the PTZ afterwords as the belts had slipped when it tried to move when frozen in place.. survived 3 winters so far and its still just as good as the day i installed it.

No idea on the snow. I think it will be fine. Yes you can use cat 5. Just add a POE+ injector brick to power it from inside. https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Gigabit-Ethernet-Injector-TPE-115GI/dp/B00BK4W8TQ/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1477597641&sr=8-14&keywords=poe+_+
