Decided that CAM1 (front gates and driveway) needs to move to the right a bit more so we now have more branches of the wattle tree obscuring the camera view, in particular the top centre section of the gates. Out with the big stepladder and pruning tools and then up the big extension ladder to swing the camera to the right a bit, this time I took the phone with me to aid adjustment.
Been a busy day so behind with this particular post. As per the normal routine shuffled out to the balcony to wake up the computer and lately to also check the new CCTV/DVR system so turned on it’s monitor and was horrified to see the CAM 1 live picture !!! Could it be a faulty camera? Watched it for a while and it seemed to pulsate…like something breathing…could it be a moth?
Went off to fin…d the ALDI extendable pole cobweb brush, extended all four telescopic sections and it easily reached up there so gently brushed the front of the camera and something flew away – a moth.
Yep…that was the ass of a large moth on CAM 1. Looks like this could be a ongoing issue, the IR night LED’s will attract them and it cosy in there with the warmth of the LED’s and protected under the weather shield.
What’s happening at home? This is a screen grab off my Samsung Galaxy Note displaying live pictures – from home. The RXCamPro app also allows you to playback recordings plus other stuff. If you configured the DVR to send Alerts then when you receive them on your mobile device you can go have a look in Record Playback to see what triggered that particular event – not bad.
