    Talented birds create pig head sculpture

    I think you are right. They're trying to tell me that game birds are off limits and to stick with pork. No more 'pheasant under glass' for dinner. :)

    Talented birds create pig head sculpture

    These birds have been working on this sculpture for weeks. Looks like a pig head to me. :)

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Thanks alexvas. I made some of the changes that you suggested. Also using the Hardware+ decoder. So far seems to be working fine. :)

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I tried to measure the amps with my 'Kill A Watt' meter but there must be something wrong with the meter. I powered the camera with a 12V 2A power adapter plugged into the meter and it only showed .15 (150ma) with IR's on and the camera doing PT. If the Huisun's power usage is about 11 or 12...

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    That may be a great idea. Now you got me thinking about it. I don't know much about solar panels. Would this solar panel be overkill?

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I made a short video today showing the Huisun ptz and xiaomi router totally portable using the Anker battery pack for power. I'm using my Samsung Galaxy Tab S and the TinyCam Pro app for viewing the camera. I set the camera for auto-patrol and it didn't seem to have much effect on battery...

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I really like the xiaomi. It works very well as a portable/travel router and it did come with PandoraBox installed. As you recommended, I sent them a message to make sure the router included PandoraBox. They said it would and it did. :)

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Received the Y power cable and was able to power both the Huisun ptz camera and the xiaomi router for about 8 hours using the Anker battery pack. Part of the time was with the IR LED's on. Plenty of time available to demo the cameras. :)

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I set up my spare Huisun today using the Anker battery pack for power. I used the xiaomi router connected directly to the Huisun and was able to monitor it using the TinyCam Pro app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. (Love that app) I wasn't able to supply power from the battery to both the camera and...

    Wireless digital thermometer with remote monitoring

    Received the weather station kit and it was easy to set up. Placed one of the sensors in my freezer, one inside the house and one outside. Works great! Was able to access the temperatures at all three areas with my phone and tablet while at various locations. Will post some pics later. Ok, has...

    Young moose comes to visit on other side of fence

    I think this is one of the calves that walked down the street in front of my house with its mom and sibling back in October. It most likely could smell the corn that I put out for the birds. The camera is about 3 meters from the fence. Recorded with a ESC IPC1-V 2.0mp varifocal camera.

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I'll probably get the Huisun setup to run portable this weekend or maybe sooner. I'm curious about how long it will run too, especially when using ptz.

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Thought about making my spare Huisun 10x ptz portable, although it would probably drain the battery in less time. Might try it anyway using the other mini router.

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    The battery can supply 9v or 12v, which is selectible with the button on the side of the battery. Of course it also supplies 5v through the USB ports. That might work as a backup cam, but you'd need to protect the Hik 2432 from the elements being that it's an indoor camera. :)

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    You're welcome. That portable setup should work well for you in monitoring your load shift and at the bike shows. The battery should be good for at least 14 hours. I haven't drained my battery completely but after 10 hours it still had 40% remaining, so I would guess it would be good for a few...

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    I'm not sure that would work with this router. I believe the single port is a WAN port. When I initially setup the router, I did it wireless using a laptop. I do have another mini router (xiaomi mini router) that has two lan ports, so I might try using that router and connect the camera...

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    That was my first Anker purchase and I was impressed with that battery pack so I decided to order a Anker wireless charger for my Samsung Note 5 phone. Haven't received it yet though. Anker products seem to have a lot of positive reviews.

    Yeah, I couldn't find a blue towel so had to use an ugly pink one. :D

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Thanks to @metro and his idea for making a battery operated baby monitor, I decided to make one of my Hik 2432's completely portable so that I could demo the camera to friends and clients. I'm using a TP-Link nano travel router, Hik2432 camera, Anker battery pack, USB volt/amp meter and a...
