Security camera craziness!

[Hound Dog 911]

Being an avid hunter and gun enthusiast, I can tell you sorting through cameras is like buying a new firearm or bow. What caliber do I want? How far do I want to shoot? What am I hunting?

It's information overload. My cameras passed through customs and would like to buy a couple more for driveway coverage and a couple areas the 4 original cameras may not cover. Running cable in the morning! If I can get into my attic. My wife's favorite hoard location.

The driveway has plenty of light sources. Street lights and motion lights from our house.

famous last words..

what cameras u got coming?

 

[Hound Dog 911]

The ones you highly recommend. Dahua Starlight. My computer is in. BI installed. Extra hard drive installed WD Purple. Didn't have much room for it but did have a port for it. It's zip tied in there and working fine. It's a Dell i7 6700 3.4. Switch will be here Tuesday. Updated my router and it supports VPN. Running 1-1/2 pvc from attic to the switch room in the basement to run cable through.

NETGEAR ProSAFE 8-Port PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with 2 Gigabit SFP Ports 53w (GS110TP-200NAS) - Lifetime Warranty

My night hunting equipment on my AR is a cctv type scope. Pulsar N750 and I use a Flir PS32 handheld thermal imager. Which rocks.

Guess I've been doing it wrong. I didn't know one had to have a reason to buy a new gun other than, "Oh look, that's shiny".

I am the same way. Depends if I'm buying to shoot 1000 yards or up close. Building a 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC. Tools for the purpose.

I used a night vision scope once for Coyote hunting; I had one pinned down 10ft infront of me and after 20mins of looking through the scope at all the bright ass grass I could not find the target so I shouldered the rifle and tried to climb over the barb wire fence.. then the bastard bolted and ran off.

a thermal camera woulda been the shit in that scenario..

 

[Hound Dog 911]

Yes you are correct. Thermal is beast. Love my handheld. One day will have a thermal scope for the yotes.
