  1. Noticed this guy walking down my driveway towards my backyard. He began piling things he was going to take (scrap metal) like a raccoon trap, pieces of copper and other metal I had against my fence. I banged on the window and he saw me, but as you can see wasn't in a real hurry to get out of there, rather he picked up a copper bar, continued to look around casually, and left abandoning his haul but not the copper bar. I called Police and they were able to locate him down the street. Yes- the camera's are slightly out of focus. Make sure to watch in HD by clicking the option at the bottom right. Enjoy!
  2. I had my cams up on my iPad and picked him off walking down the drive. I also got an email notification with pics but didn't notice until everything was over.
  3. Hey, I recently installed 4 Vivotek FD8361 Camera's around my place. I am very pleased so far with them. Here is a time lapse video (sped up 64 times) of a small construction project we were working on. I know its not the best "test video", but there is not a lot of reference video out there for this camera. Thanks
  4. Do you mind posting some pictures? I am buying the same cameras and have only seen one other post that actually showed pictures from the FD8361. Would love to see some day time / night stuff.

    Vivotek FD8361

    Greetings everyone, I have decided to install a simple 2 cam setup at my house after a rash of break ins have occured in my area. Originally I wanted them to have built in IR illuminators for night time, but since I am concerned with the over-all looks of the cameras on my house I have decided I want them installed into the eave of my roof. Since my house is 2 stories, the IR illuminators on the cameras would be virtually useless at that height. I have considered installing two motion acitivcated flood lights at the front and back of my house as opposed to separate illuminators. Originally I was set on purchasing 2 Vivotek FD8361 camera's but since I have decided the IR function isn't a huge asset to me, I was thinking of purchasing the same version of camera minus the illuminators. What I am looking for is: -High resolution -Motion triggers to be processed at camera level so I can use a nettop/older computer to record to -Dome style -Varifocal lens w/optical zoom I would greatly appreciate any ideas or opinions you guys have, or what setups have worked for you. Thanks Will
  6. Hey, Has anyone done this before? I am considering buying IP camera's off eBay because I have some gift cards I got for my birthday and haven't used. The models I am interested are being sold on eBay brand new for about $250 less then where I can buy them locally. I am in Canada and the camera's are in the US. I am wondering if having them shipped to Canada may void the warranty. The camera's that I am considering are Vivotek's. Any input would be appreciated. thank you
