Think about Camera Placement

[zero-degrees]

Was asked to move this camera today... for obvious reasons. They tell me it was put in during the winter and they were very happy with the image both day/night at the time. However, as the bush bloomed for the spring season you quickly can see why this was poor placement.

I doubt the IR was ever that great at night, but they tell me the main point to this camera was to see when mail was delivered and when the neighbors would come/go as they were elderly and they watched out for them. At any rate I pulled playback pics as far back as I could - 3 weeks roughly - and you can see the difference this bush drastically made.

I would have just cut the bush.

Lady of the house loves that bush - thus camera got moved, that was my first question before I even started any work - don't you just want to cut the bush back?

Makes me wonder how much the IR may have contributed to a more rapid growth of that bush.
