[MBZ] OT: security cameras
I want to record what's moving around in the yard at night (wildlife). Anyone have a recommendation for a WiFi outdoors camera or two? I'd want it to record to a disk on a PC for review the next day. -- OK Don *“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”* – Mark Twain "There are three kinds of men: The ones that learns by reading.

There’s a bunch of kinds.

Re: [MBZ] OT: security cameras
I set up a bunch of cheap DLink indoor cameras outside under my eaves. They’re hardwired using Ethernet, but they have wifi capability. For security purposes I wanted them hardwired. Despite not being rated for outdoor use, they have worked for over four years now in the oppressive Florida heat and humidity, as well as through hurricanes. They have IR capabilities as well, so I can see stuff moving around at night on the property. They are set up to send an email of the still pictures of any movement, three frames before and three frames after. I have a GMail account I set up for relaying the pictures to me so they don’t clog up my personal email address/account. I think they cost me about $40/each. Understand that even with the best IR illumination the resolution you’ll get at night is pretty lousy. It’s good enough that you an identify things, but you would be hard pressed to get details, like facial details or something like that. -D > On Nov 11, 2017, at 2:01 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > I want to record what's moving around in the yard at night (wildlife). > Anyone have a recommendation for a WiFi outdoors camera or two? > I'd want it to record to a disk on a PC for review the next day. > > -- > OK Don > > *“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of > our people need it sorely on these accounts.”* – Mark Twain > > "There are three kinds of men: The ones that learns by reading.

If you are willing to go to $400 price bracket, you can see the details at night, too, though the distance of recognition is lower than during the day.

Re: [MBZ] OT: security cameras
The DLinks will capture video as well, it’s all a matter of what you choose. You just set them up to send it to am email address and you’re good. You’ve got to have a means of storing or sending the captured stills/video to another place, as the cameras themselves don’t typically have that ability. There are some that you can put a mini SD card in, but then you have to remove it to see the contents, I believe. There may be a way of viewing it through the vendor’s software, however. Be aware that every camera vendor has their own software. Most of them are pretty awful. I see the gang of raccoons that roam the neighborhood on a regular basis. I’ll send some examples of night and day shots to you tomorrow. I dump everything every morning after I review it. -D > On Nov 11, 2017, at 3:27 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > I just want to see if it's a raccoon, possum, skunk, dog, deer, whatever - > - - > I don't need email alerts, texting, etc. though I doubt any come without > such now.

Re: [MBZ] OT: security cameras
Understand that these are cheap DLink cameras intended for indoor use. I’m stunned that they’ve held up as long as they have (maybe 3-4 years, I think.) DLink DCS-932 is the model number for a couple of them. I don’t think they’re available any longer. Looks like Amazon sells refurbs of the next model up, of which I have one: https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DCS-933L-Security-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B072LXJPKY/ref=sr_1_8?s=photo&srs=2529294011&ie=UTF8&qid=1510532234&sr=1-8 -D > On Nov 12, 2017, at 6:54 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > Much better!
