kellyn 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Are you a security camera operator and do you regularly see foxes on your system? If the answer is yes, I would love to talk to you. My name is Kelly and I am writing from a television company. We are making a program about urban foxes and are really interested in whether you can see foxes on CCTV cameras and if there are any camera operators who regularly see or follow an urban fox. If you are interested in talking to me about this either post a reply to this message or contact me directly on fox@windfallfilms.com Best wishes, Kelly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 27, 2012 This is interesting... we don't have foxes around here (that I've ever seen) but I have caught coyotes wandering through a couple times on my home cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike_va 0 Posted February 27, 2012 yep. system runs analytics so I generally save the fox clips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 27, 2012 No foxes here, but plenty racoons, rats, and potcakes. Catch them all on CCTV all the time. racoons are the sneakiest little buggers though, they are afraid of nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think you're gonna scare a raccoon off, think again and be prepared for a stand off and potential fight! One the other night, spent all night climbing down the tree to pick at my trash. Everytime I went out there it would look at you for a bit then if you did go after it with anything it would climb a little up the tree and literally laugh at you, cause it knew you could not reach it even though it was like right there. And ofcourse it being a dark night, throwing plastic soda bottles full of water at it made no difference as they just hit something the tree But ha .. had a surprise for it .. came in the way of a long tree trimmer with a saw on the end .. hmmm .. havent seen it since (dont worry, no animals were injured in this story!)

shockwave199 0 Posted February 28, 2012 LOL. When my security light was out years ago in the driveway and I was having a smoke in almost total darkness, I had a smaller baby one chase me right up onto the hood of my car! LOL! This little f'r just came at my feet full bore. They learn early- people shmeeple. You back down for no one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_va 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Foxes don't like 850nm, I've seen them walk out around my IR. Does not bother the raccoons, cats, possum or deer though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotoriousBRK 0 Posted February 28, 2012 I get foxes across my property fairly regularly. Except that *my* analytics generally ignore them Animals that are not uncommon to see on my property here (southern NH): Foxes Turkey Moose Coyotes (bastards) Black Bear Porcupines Last year we had a fox that came by almost every morning around 10:30, I'd see him trot across the driveway frequently. The moose are mostly late fall and early spring. Turkeys are usually in the fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numb-nuts 1 Posted February 28, 2012 I love watching wildlife. I have squirrels at the back regularly using the fences as a sort of squirrel highway. I have often thought about building a squirrel assault-course for them to play on. They are very playful and I often see them playing together on the back lawn. I don't have any cameras at the back but may now put some out there to see if I can capture some squirrel play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fa chris 0 Posted February 28, 2012 What's a potcake? Saw 2 foxes outside our office not to long ago. Unfortunately, not on camera. Foxes and Deer aren't uncommon here at all. A mountain lion was hit on a major highway a few years ago. (DNR still claims we don't have mountain lions in our state though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 28, 2012 What's a potcake? our local dogs, basically they are mixed breeds. they love to roam the streets in packs of 20 or so .. going through your trash and taking dumps on your lawn .. they literally take over the island at night.
