Home security Cameras

2,725 282 June 12, 2012 at 10:05 AM
So, There's been deers eating up the front garden, "I think"

I just got a couple questions for people that have surveillance setup in their homes.

How much data is outputted by one of these cameras for 24/7 month, can it be set to constant bitstream or variable?

Do they make motion tracking camera that follows the object in motion? <-and does this type of system cost an arm and a leg?

What kind of resolution is considered good?

Getting rid of the deer seems to be a good resolution to this issue.

hahahaaLMAO I don't understand it either, my dad wants to catch these deers in action, but it's not like we can really do anything about it.

I just looked up a video size calculator, a 30fps VBR x264 480p NTSC would chew through 350GB in a day? This can't be right?

Deers?

Facepalm

In order to identify them and/or get rid of them I think you first have to be smarter than they are.

I'm confused. I was absolutely positive this thread would have tp4t saying something completely moronic. Yet here I am, and things seem relatively normal.

Such a strange day.

Most security cameras are lucky to capture 10 to 15 frames per second. Cut your estimate by 50% or more.

Or simply set them to record based on movement...and cut the estimate by 80% or better (depending on how active the "deers" are).
