Hi
I registered on the forum (luckily it's not a Facebook forum
) to ask for help finding an IP camera that meets my requirements sooner or later. First, I'll write a few words about myself 
My name is Jakub and I'm interested in technology. I'm an electrician by training, but I work as a CNC operator. A few years ago, I installed a surveillance system in my house (Hikvision recorder, various cameras) and then I started using IP cameras for purposes other than just surveillance. For example, to watch birds Sample video:
Time-lapse photography:
Night time-lapse photography:
I even managed to capture the northern lights, which is a rare sight in my area:
And the so-called “silver clouds”:
Let's get down to business
I use an IPC2124LE-ADF28KM-G camera to take these photos, which gives good image quality but has a limitation in the form of a maximum exposure time of 1 second.
For my applications, I need longer exposures and the ability to freely adjust parameters such as gain...
Therefore, I am looking for a camera that has these capabilities, or (better) a camera with pre-installed OpenIPC, a powerful processor, and a good sensor for night shots – low noise, deep well potential, etc. I would gladly install OpenIPC in my current camera, but I don't see that as an option – I couldn't find a connector on the PCB to which I could connect the programmer. I'm sure there is one, but I don't know enough about electronics to figure it out. That's why I would gladly buy a PCB camera that comes with OpenIPC pre-installed or is adapted for easy installation. Do you know of any such models? I would be grateful for your help
