Does anyone have any experience with an alert system that combines with a camera for pictures/video of the vehicle coming down the driveway? I'd like to get an alert about a vehicle entering but also see it.
People are happy with Ring, for sure. On the doorbell camera I ordered Amcrest's AD410 version today which allows video storage on a micro SD card and without a monthly fee. I plan to also take the video feed into my Blue Iris camera software and store it there as well. The other cameras pick up vehicles onto my property easy enough. I plan on adding a driveway sensor as backup and maybe take an input into a camera so I can get alerts on my phone. Some of our "visitors" are on foot so I do not think the air hose type will work for me.I have Ring cameras. I live 1/4 mile off the highway and I can set my cameras up to detect cars passing on the highway if I so desire or just detect motion down my driveway. However I can see the cars pass throgh the trees in front so you would need line of sight. Not necessarily unobstructed but you need to be able to detect motion. All you need is Wifi if you use their battery powered cameras. I really like the way they work and the options you have with them.
Have you looked at cellular game cameras? I use this one from Reconyx:My "down side" is distance. My driveway is a mile long - straight as an arrow. Goes right down the section line. I could mount a transmitter - high in an 'ol pine but I know of no unit that can transmit a mile plus.
HI: Hosspuller.et off on a different story. This is where I found you. I have a Mahindra 4500 2wd, I just had issues with my power steering fluid overheating. My tractor has been jacked up off the front wheels the past two months. The over heating was a bad seal in the front wheel cylinder. I was able to turn the steering wheel and the front wheels would turn left and right, even when the power steering fluid was running hot. Now I have corrected the over heating power steering fluid, when I took the front wheel cylinder to the shop and the shop replaced the seals in the cylinder. Now after reinstalling the cylinder, my left tire wheel can move from left to right. but the right wheel appear to be locked/froze, will not turn left or right. But you can turn the right wheel round and round. Took off the cylinder, and I can move the left wheel left and right manually. But again the right wheel will not let me turn it left or right manually. It appear my right wheel HUB is froze of locked. Could the problem be in the right HUB spindle housing?? Do I need to break down, knock out the right wheel spindle. Can I do this job myself?? I can see that I WILL NNED TO REMOVE THE BOLT AND NUT JUST BELOW THE LARGE cASTLE NUT and also remove the castle nut pin and large castle bolt on TOP OF THE spindle. Do I need to knock it out with a sledge hammer?? Can I myself do that??? Thing I have already done on my tractor..1. removed the gas tank. 2 removed the stump jumper. 3 removed the front wheel cylinder. 4 replaced the seal at the back of the tractor, where the tractor turn the bush hall. Are there any pictures or steps on how to replaced the Front wheel HUB repair kit???Walt44 How long does the hose last ? Is your driveway paved ?
My camera systems can alert me when there is motion. i first had it set that way - but I got an alert every time the wind blew. I also have a GPS on the trailer and it is EXCELLENT in sending me a text is there is anymovement or changes.Does anyone have any experience with an alert system that combines with a camera for pictures/video of the vehicle coming down the driveway?
