thermal is cool. But with 17 cams now i would have to have a good reason to get it past the better half.
^^^ Maybe a thermal cam to take the temperature of guests?

Tell her that you were advised that 20 cams fills the screen more effectively for viewing the cams!

Ya, I ran into this problem a few days ago!
The "Add Camera" button if grayed out!
Why would you let your better half have access to BI and figure out how to grey out to add more cameras 
Yes it does the occasional calibration-click-freeze. Very brief though.
I'm seeing the 5421 for sub $250 on eBay used. Would you recommend it at this price presuming it's fully functional?
For normal animals watching is fine. But smart functions the newer one will be much better than those old cams.

I pulled the trigger for one that was 199. Figured it can't be THAT bad. I really just need it to spot coyotes and other predators around my coop. First toe dip into the thermal IP camera pool. I use my thermal scope to pop them regularly so getting a better heads up with this ought to increase my success
It arrived today and I installed it immediately to view the ingress for most predators. It's only been up for a couple of daylight hours, but I am very impressed. I didn't like the fact that it takes up two BI camera slots, and was happy to see that it does picture-in-picture, overlaying a thermal image over the optical image. Unfortunately, that PIP doesn't work for the substream - which is what plays in any of the grouped views on BI. But that's a small price to pay when your hitting up against the 64 camera limit.
Man, I am so glad I went with this. I've always wanted to know what the hottest part of my Mastiff was
