Tired of doorcams, what normal camera can I use ?

The package cam also shows any flyers or business cards people leave on the door. When I see them I remove them. We rarely use the front door. 99.99999% of the time we go in and out the house through the garage door. And I jinxed myself for saying this on the forum before because yesterday, the belt of the garage opener wore out and until the replacement belt arrives we are mostly going through the front door....LOL!

p.s. So you left that mess at the door not the delivery guy? :winktongue:

i got this at face level next to front door,
has mic and speaker tho i havent used that feature much
best is the light is set to come on with motion so people look at it usually when it happens

Here is my birdhouse cam's view. Camera is installed on the porch column.
As you can see, I also have another porch overview cam, that is installed on the garage wall.

Has anyone hidden a Turrent/bullet camera in a birdhouse?

Hi @Chokolinho

Yes, and even a mailbox, a tree ..

I don't recall the links, but folks have posted that here.

Some really cool projects
 
@bigredfish hid one for a friend in a birdhouse - pretty cool as well

@Holbs hid one in a lamp post

@samplenhold hid one in a hose reel

Someone hid one in landscaping light and someone else did with a landscaping rock.
I have 2 of these 3' tall fake boulders. (Auction for $10 each).
I do plan on putting my LPR camera into 1 and a 5442/T54 into the other.
Is why I ran 4 x Cat6 to my lamp post :)
Granted...2 years in the making!th.jpg
My Tire Slasher event + purchase of my company really has put a damper on my projects.
But I do plan on re-vamping my entire IP camera setup with newer models, reposition locations, bump out non-AI to AI cameras, 180's, possibly a couple 360's on the inside too. Should be a fun spring, coming up.
