    Hello,
    I need help choosing the outside camera in front of the house. I have some requirements.
    1. Decent quality in the day.
    2. Not the worst quality at night (there is a led lamp with a motion sensor).
    3. Ability to save materials to a local hard disk (Debian server)
    4. The possibility of both continuous operation and camera activation only in the case of motion detection (more importantly the latter, but both are welcome).
    5. Power supply - theoretically indifferent, but if there is the possibility of only POE - I have a free cable in the vicinity and I would not have to pull another wire. Is there a possibility of one cable to release power and image?
    6. Data transmission - I would prefer the cable, because I have such a possibility, but the possibility of wifi will not hurt.
    7. Budget: the less, the better. I can give 300 zlotys, but if I spent 150 zlotys, I would be happier.
    8. Obligatory possibility of remote viewing on request.
    9. Range at night: 20-30 mb.
    10. Size, appearance - before the entrance will be, so rather not clumsy, preferably something discreet.

    Camera location: outside the building, under a soffit - it should not rain on it.

    Ad1. I will omit because for everyone "decency" can mean something else
    ad2. In extreme cases, the camera may need several seconds to adapt to new lighting conditions. The sensor and lamp cover the entire area that we want to observe?
    AD3. It is obvious.
    Ad4. Is it supposed to turn off?
    Ad5. POE power supply, POE switch
    AD6. However, this is usually less harmful after the cable.
    AD7. 300 or 150. Even if a colleague sums up both amounts, they still remain a colleague only "revelations of auction sites" To buy something meaningful you will still need to demonstrate the ability to multiply ;)
    8. Usually possible, albeit in many cases dependent on the parameters of the link, about which silence.
    ad 9. It's supposed to be with what accuracy is it to be seen on those 30 meters, at what stage width and at what lighting?
    ad10. A colleague can be specified. give any examples what would suit your friend?

    A colleague has read a few topics about the cameras.

    greetings

    Yes

    The camera turns on after motion detection, after which after a short time (without recording movement) it switches off.
    Another issue is the ability to set it on and off.

    Well, I did not write. Upload 6Mb / s

    I think that it is enough to 60-70 degrees and 20-25 mb. Lighting lamp led 20W

    I took a look at several auctions yesterday and my humble knowledge pre-selected:
    RT-IP IP camera EXTERNAL IR-CUT P2P DDNS or
    IP CAMERA HIKVISION DS-2CD1021-I 2MPx 2.8mm PoE or
    IP Camera 4Mpx SONY 20m IR SD-CARD POE IP

    A colleague looking at these cameras probably suggested that IR radiators have a range of 30m and this camera has.
    For clarity. The radiators in these cameras also do not illuminate that far. And the image of these 30m cameras is not suitable for anything meaningful - you will see the silhouette, but forget about identification, at night even with the figure can be a problem if nothing lights up.

    The camera is in continuous mode. If you used the recorder, you can record in "on motion detection" mode. Physically switching a camera with a motion sensor is a stupid idea and do not even analyze it.

    Yes


    That a kind of sensor from the lamp catches for 30m. What is the lamp?

    With such a budget and such requirements - it will be rather hard

    Cameras 1 and 3 - it's a total chał.
    The best of these three is hikvision, but it will not meet your requirements with the range of recognition. She will see it widely - but as far as efficiency is concerned - i.e. recognition, its range is 4-5 meters ...

    I purchased C54221-IR 2.1 Mpx.
    I am asking for a bearing for the POE power supply.

    I do not know. POE-48 / NX is IEEE 802.3at and C54221-IR 2.1 Mpx has 802.3af

    Please read how the POE power supply works ... because you are asking absolutely basic questions to which the answer has already been given.
    After all, we will not tell you here how you should fix the camera.

    Thanks. When everything happens, I connect to the NAS and test it.

    I bought and mounted:
    PoE power supply 48V max. 0.5A / 24Watt IEEE 802.3af
    C54221-IR 2.1 Mpx

    Registration is done on hdd by smb.

    I noticed that at night when an insect passes, the camera captures and records it. Is it possible to eliminate this?

    It detects motion and registers it, meaning it works properly.
    If you deduce insects that they would not do it, then you will have peace. :-)
    The worst are the spiders that sometimes make their spider web.

    Such is my question. What function does a colleague want to solve by FTP uploading?

    No, cifs or nfs. It works!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting an outdoor security camera that meets specific requirements, including decent day and night quality, motion detection capabilities, local storage options, and power supply preferences. Users emphasize the importance of POE (Power over Ethernet) for ease of installation, as well as the need for both continuous recording and motion-activated recording modes. Several camera models are suggested, including the Hikvision DS-2CD1021-I and the C54221-IR, with considerations regarding their night vision capabilities and effective range. Users also discuss the setup of a POE power supply and the integration of the camera with a Debian server for local storage. Concerns about false motion detection due to insects are raised, along with solutions for managing recorded footage.
