    Loryta/Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR No color issue

    Well I came into my PC room today and there is a lot of light from the window and the overhead light and the cam is stuck in night vision. So I guess it will be returned :( I need to have a cam that supports an external mic. There is no way to block the wind in a tree from a mic built into the...

    Loryta/Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR No color issue

    Ok, I changed it to Auto but left it on high and 2 seconds. So if it goes to B & W earlier than I like, can I change it to where it will wait until later in the evening. My Amcrest always seems to go to B & W about when the owls come in :( Thanks again! So is there a bullet or turret that has...

    Okay so what will happen if I leave these settings as they are? I guess I will see what happens tonight. But will it go to B & W tonight when it gets dark? Thanks again for your time!

    Loryta/Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR No color issue

    I did what you said and it is now in color, but there must be an issue with this cam. If my turret cam I have above the barrel now had an external mic, I'd be pleased. Do they not make turrets with an external mic hook up? I really need to get a cam up in a new tree with a new barrel so I can...

    I changed to color and it went to color. I then put it on auto and it still has color. But isn't there a problem? What happens if I leave it on color? Thank you!

    I turned on the xmas lights and it is still B & W. I shouldn't be jumping through hoops like this. I think I have a lemon. Can you suggest a different cam?

    Well that is not what I want to hear. I'm bummed. I will see if I can find the setting you are talking about. Thank you for your time. Right now I have the Amcrest IP5M-T1179E and I want a cam that I have have a mic hook up. The wind is horrible. I attached a pic with the owlets and the specs...

    Loryta/Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR No color issue

    I just bought this cam yesterday to go above my owlcam. I thought I'd test it out before I put it 15' up in a tree. I have it mounted on a board that is attached to a ladder. This morning I get up and it is in B & W with a lot of light in the room. I shouldn't need to tell it to be in color...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Cool! Great crested Flycatcher I replied to this, but I don't see it here. Your bird is a great crested flycatcher. They nest in my yard in screech owl box. You have some great wildlife. Lucky you!

    What The Heck Is That Sound

    Don't you have drainage ditches where you live? That is how lots of wildlife gets around when they don't want to be seen. And the sounds are always magnified and bounce. Just a thought.

They are about to fledge. www.okiebirdcam.com if they are out on the edge of the barrel watch the roof cam. If they are in the barrel watch the turret cam. The third cam is either set...

    great price on Camera mount for under eve or tight spots

    I didn't want mine to hang down that long. Mine is protected from the rain some what since it is low profile. I ordered one like you are speaking of and returned it today. My cable went into the vent next to the mount so a pipe was unnecessary. I could almost by two of the ones I bought for the...

    Owl taking flight - how to trigger motion?

    It is a bit early for the screech owls babies to fledge. It should be closer to the middle of May. I have cams on my great horned owls if you want to take a look. The owlets will be fledging any day now. This is my 7th year to have my resident owls use a barrel I put in a tree. Here's the live...

    great price on Camera mount for under eve or tight spots

    FYI if you need a camera mount and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, check out this camera mount I bought on Amazon. It was only 18.99 Perfect for under my eve with it's small profile. I have the Dahua ptz DH-sd49225t-hn. It would work with my Amcrest ptz cam as well I'm using up in my...

    DH-SD49225T-HN update

    Thank you. I will take a look. I appreciate your input. I did have it on a 60w poe+ injector when I was using the PC Nvr. Right now I have it sitting in my PC room and it has gone off line over a dozen times since yesterday and I haven't touched any controls. It is not a power issue. Have a...

    DH-SD49225T-HN update

    thank you for your answers. I do appreciate your time. But I went through everything before after I bought it and it was decided I have a lemon and not repairable. I was reminded by another member that doing an update will unlikely fix my problem and I need to leave well enough alone. There is...

    DH-SD49225T-HN update

    Before the Dahua was using a 60w poe and I was using a PC-NVR. It gave me hell for two years. I replaced cables Poe's and switches and it never ran properly. My new NVR is not the problem. I am using a 30w POE and a 7 port switch. My three Amcrest cams have ran for months without ever rebooting.

    DH-SD49225T-HN update

    I have version 2.623.000 I would like to use this as a third cam so I can see my great horned owlets if they fall from the tree. I just hooked up the Dahua to the NVR two hours ago and it has rebooted 5 times. So before I even go to all the trouble to run 75' of cable up in the attic and...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Yes you know what birds are in your area. In OK the bill is a bit stubbier. I wasn't sure how true the coloring was on the video, so I wasn't going by color. Thank you!

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    I posted finch video on mt OK Ornithology Society page because I thought your birds looked different than ours in OK. I guess over 200 birders looked at your video and only hit like. So, I guess they are house finch, just like you said :) I was thinking Cassin's Finch. So, a lot of OK birders...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Look at 1:54 seconds on my owl cam. We have 11 deer that come in daily. I accidently added the deer clip in twice. My owlets are getting BIG!
