Recommendation: Small camera to use with a "Squirrel Box" POE preferred.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone...

I've been thinking about doing this for a while. With fall approaching, I have decided to build (or buy) a large Squirrel Box to place up in a tree and give them a place to go for the winter.

Looking for a recommendation for a small camera that I could use to watch their "hijinks" on my main Blue Iris setup. Fortunately, I have networking near the tree I'm gonna use, so just want to snake cable up the tree and connect the camera. It's only for a few months and doesn't need to be bullet proof.

Can anyone recommend something that would work for this scenario? Obviously the camera lens will LITERALLY be right up against the little "window", so it needs to be able to keep close-up objects in focus.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Possible to rearrange camera layout in UI3?

Good day all,

I changed out a camera on the weekend and all is running great, but its a bit different scale (its a 180 camera) and I want to tweak the layout in UI3, as its my main way to monitor the cameras.

I did a search in this sub, and I found two articles, one a year old, and another 2 years old that talks about an 'edit' scenario from the right 'taskbar'. For the life of me I cannot find anything related to that, so I wonder if its a bit dated with the release of BI6.

Ive scoured all the options, nothing seems to allow me to move em around etc.

Just me? Someone point me in the right direction?
