About a Month ago, we had a Bear walk back and forth across the porch on front of our house!!
(Hello Again from Across the pond—Western NC, a few 1000 feet from Smokey Mountain Natl Park!!)
We have camera facing pond from porch, and Garage facing house, but Mr Bear avoided both!
Wife made decision for me: PORCH CAMERA!!!
Moved another camera there. POE switch provided power, PVC Pipe, Mount And Cat6=$22.
Camera is 2CD2942WD-I
Ftp Pics, not video
I use Synology NAS for pics storage, and Surveillance Station’s 2x Free licenses to convert Stream to video and store on NAS.
SS has 2x Free licenses I needed a third , but instead of buying a license, I fired up a retired NAS that is old and weak (215J), and freed up enough processes on that to convert the 2CD2042WD-I stream to 1080/30 video!
Yippee!!
Then found a brand new 2042 camera for $70 delivered!! To replace camera I borrowed for the Porch!!
$92 total cost!!
