Have any changes been made recently - it feels like we're going advert overload - seeing multiple of the same adverts over and over - the forum screen space is now just a tiny percentage of what are becoming more intrusive adverts for irrelevant stuff. (I know you have to make money somehow to...

Something like the Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4/16P might be a fair choice as that has 2 x HDMI outputs of 4k each (or 8k down a single output). If you're putting it in a loft - then the built in POE ports will probably be useful for you to plug all 4 cameras in directly. It would easily handle 4 x...

What's your budget?

I would stick with a cable only solution rather than 'wireless with an app' - the amount of apps that seem to be dying off after a year or two because something better comes along is a pain in the neck sometimes. Some hikvision recorders have multiple outputs as above - if you haven't chosen one...

When accessing the camera through the browser, under PTZ you should find 'Park Action' - set a time in seconds that you want it to return to a preset position - in my case Preset 1.

It looks like the official maxxone website is frozen/closed - so you might have to ask your retailer for setup manuals if they still have contacts with the manufacturer. If the other three didn't show it when connected and this one does - you could try a hard physical reset if the camera has one...

Are you going to use them standalone or connected to an NVR - depending on the NVR some will support more functions than others. I have Hikvision NVR's where the Jidetech will only work on Onvif - and other non Hikvision cameras the same - but if your NVR has certain functionalities you might...

If you do go down the route of giving this a try - if you remember, come back and let us know how it went. I'd be interested to know how things go.

Definitely do-able. I've done it. But your budget might be a bit tight. I've learnt a lot from having 3 cameras in a local church tower to now having 12 cameras, it's been quite a learning curve. I'll ask a few questions - and then outline a few of my own learnings - have a read through - and...

I haven't used this specifically - but have used other 'green-feathers' cabled network cameras - and they've been fairly good. Technology isn't the latest - but this might answer your needs. A wireless camera that doesn't need internet as it has it's own receiver, which you can buy with a hdmi...

I'm connected via the default ports yes. Plug and play.

Yes - that's what I do. The NVR and a number of POE cameras are connected to the 4g router on a building in the middle of nowhere where regular internet connections can't be made - and I can review live images via my hik-connect app from anywhere else via my phone on the mobile network or wifi.

I have an NVR connected to a 4g router (vodafone) and it works well. Stable connection - rarely stutters unless the weather is really, really bad - very easy to plug in and set up. Alternatively you could have a POE camera connected directly to the router via a POE injector or switch if you...

Just to add to the above - do remember foxes are quite small - and if you use a very wide lens (such as the 2.8mm which is often recommended for general security) - the fox at night won't be a prominent part of the image captured. If you're aware that the animals congregate in a particular...

If you want night time colour - you'll need a source of lighting. If the garden is pitch black at night you won't get a colour image. Infra red won't matter if you only want colour images. So before anyone makes recommendations - do you have, or will you fit additional lighting? (It doesn't...

I'm not sure you can set up 'trip wires' easily on a camera system. Do you mean electronic detection and notification? Something like 'intruder' or 'line crossing' - or do you mean actually fitting sensors on the ground to link into your camera system? You'll have to give model numbers (cameras...

It depends on how you've got everything set up. Did you install it yourself or use an installer?

How close can you get the line? The mouse I've mentioned runs on 2.4ghz wireless rather than bluetooth. What distance does it need to cover?

Run an extension USB cable from the NVR to your monitor, and then plug in a Logitech USB mouse receiver and run a wireless mouse (something like the M185 for a tenner on Amazon).

Remember it's a security system rather than a 4k movie camera. It's purpose (usually) is to capture wrongdoings, rather than marvel at the fluency of the image. If something happens - even at 10 frames per second you're going to get enough detail of what happened and some good still images. Yes...
