What driveway dinger?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I will say that there is a slight delay with the live view. But it's nothing crazy, and this camera is rechargeable so it the battery ever gets low you can take it off, charge it for an hour or so and it'll be good to go. I've gone about 2 to 3 weeks without charging it and I get thirty to fifty dings a day.

I think it'll capture it just fine.

Good morning,

I am needing a driveway dinger for the coons here at the house. Just something to mount on a Tpost or something. It will be basically in my backyard probably 30yds. I am going to bait them they are robbing the coop and I'm not sitting all night so need some help. I don't need a fancy one I will be well within range for the part that plugs in inside the house. Just wanting something weatherproof. I will probably take it down when I'm not using the bait station. Going to give the pard some use

Thanks
Jon

OK,.... WiFi and these cameras (trail cams or security).

My target zone is likely 75' from my computer and WiFi. I do not have a cell phone.
I'd like to capture video of encroaching rodents, and, be able to see the videos from my computer station.
The camera placement will likely be close to the target zone.

Can these things be operated on a demand basis; IOW, can I just log onto the computer, and, open an app that allows me to watch in real time?
Would a doorbell cam be better than a trail cam?
My nighttime spying window is next to Sarges bed, and she does not care to have this battlefield playing out in stereo, from right w/ the pop shot, to left backstop pop; nor does she like me hanging out at the window, and having her waking up to seeing a large man at the window.

off to Winco for the weekly food gathering,.....

Sardines are a poor choice as they go rancid quickly and lose their appeal. Cat food and Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake will hold up better and still maintain an attractive odor.

When I used to trap them with coon cuffs we used marshmallows and Captain crunch cereal. The sardine thing is just going to be put out for the night and thrown away the next day or when I'm done hunting that night. The creek is half mile away that they're coming from so if they don't show up that night I can't leave the bait out because the chickens eat it all. Lol

Moke, as long as you can upload the app for the doorcam, yes, you can tap live feed. When I get a push notification notifying me of a short video it took of something, I immediately go to live feed to see if the rat is stil eating so I don't go to shoot it and it has left, I keep it on live feed as I shoot it glancing down to make sure it hasn't hightailed it!

I have a old arlo doorbell cam setup next to my bullet trap looking back along the back fence run. All the cats, possoms and coons travel.
Works great!

Do all these wifi cameras need a hot spot to work, or can I just turn on wifi on my phone to use it? I don't have home internet I just use my phone. I don't see the point of home internet if everyone in the house used their phone all day anyways lol.

Same with cable. No thanks!

I have a Tactacam Reveal X. It runs off of phone service, I think I pay $9.99 per month for it, it has duel phone set up so this can run off of Verizon or ATT, whichever it better service for your area. You can set it up to take a pic or vid or both when something triggers it. If nothing triggers it and you want to make sure it's working you can remotely (on your phone app) take a picture like the sample picture I took here. Normally it's 87 degrees here in Oct...but you can see the info on the pic IT'S FREAKING 104 DEGREES AND NOTHINGS MOVING!!! Also night vision. I don't have any other to compare it with but so far I'm happy with it. https://www.sportsmans.com/hunting-...v_6Qs3IgAIG9T9t72kXBG4fcwOjahqRsaAgfhEALw_wcB
