Hi, I ordered a camera, the F version, from NetView.
Arrived quick, printed box, and I cannot find a CH in the serial number or such, so I'm hoping this is the real deal. A wee bit different construction compared to my old one, besides the evident SD card slot on the bottom.
None the less, it appear solid and equal to the older one.
Super simple install, as usual, once I got it plugged in to a working ethernet port.
Quesition: This one is going to watch over the driveway and yard, so I can see if the dogs are barking at invaders, the UPS or FedEx guy or a squirrel, and for the twice a year visits from the bear that likes bird seed.
To make this glaring white object snuggled up under the eves of the house with their dark cedar stain, less visible and to please the wife a bit, I was thinking of using masking tape to protect the working parts, and then a small spray can of the same color as the house is, and spraying it lightly. I don't anticipate this would have any ill effects, and while no longer reflective white, it won't be in direct sunlight to absorb heat and get too warm in the summer.
Has anyone touched up their camera? Were there any unforeseen consequences?
I'm sort of addicted to this gizmo now and while I'm a real piker compared to you guys, intend to devote a little PC to running and recording it as soon as I can clear some bench space. I still have to master posting snapshots to my wx page, and timelapse and all the fun stuff you are doing.
Right now I'm just opening two different tabs in my FireFox browser with each camera running it's own image.
Is there multi-camera software that is slicker and offers more options than doing it this way?
Ok, back to work, so thanks for any thoughts or comments. I'm blaming you guys for this new obsession, and if Ryan says there is a new version coming up, I'll have to see where else I can aim one of these gizmos.
Oh, final question, is everyone running the wide angle lens?
