Texas School Shooting Surveillance Cameras

Cameras easy to use and take great pictures. I use them for hunting and for surveillance around my property. I have several cameras.

I often shoot video alone with two cameras. One stationary and the other roaming. The other day I was shooting my grandson's school play, so I set this unit on 45 degree auto and with the other, I moved around for more interesting finished video. People are still wondering how I can be behind two cams at the same time. It's well worth the price.

I took John Hartman's light painting class at Texas School and this is one of the tools needed to support the Godox light used in class. Works well! Doing the work without it or something like ir really wouldn't be possible. GOOD TOOL, FAIR PRICE!

This is kind of old school, it is literally a printed card with an alphanumeric license key on it, very 1998. You enter it manually into the Surveillance Station software. I hadn't typed a license key in like 10 years, it was kinda fun. No one likes paying licensing fees, of course. But this is fully transferable, so you can migrate it from one Synology box to another. Synology clearly puts a lot of resources into Surveillance Station, I have been running it for half a decade and it keeps evolving and improving. These products stand the test of time, my 12 year old Synology NAS not only still works, but is still supported. My Synology NVR runs better today than it did when I got it five years ago. So at least you get something for your license fee, and won't ever have to pay it again.

Worked perfectly with my 35mm 1.4 on a sunny Texas afternoon..With it, while shooting video,I was able to keep a steady 1/50th shutter at about a f3 or f4...

It rains so much here in SE Texas, I decided to get these and not let it stop me from shooting. These are dubbed as disposalbe by some. But if you're careful and don't damage it you can use them over and over. There's a hole to see through the viewfinder, but it's not really necessary. If you use live view you can see right through the plastic. Even looking through the finder, you can see good enough through it. Probably not clear enough view for manual focus, but if you're using autofocus, no problem. Also I would recommend attching a piece of rubber such as a bicycle tube to the lens hood. That way when you tighten the draw string against the rubber it will grip it and not slide around.

I used this tripod for the 4/8/2024 eclipse, shooting in Texas. It was fast to set up, much quicker than the 20 year old Gitzo G1325 mk II it replaced. (Non-twisting legs are a big help for tightening or loosening leg locks.) It was plenty robust enough for the 14+ pound weight of an EOS R7 with adapted EF 500/4L IS (1st version) on either a Benro Polaris Astro tracking head or a Zenelli gimbal head.

The VOSKER camera is a great camera. I use it for surveillance around our house and it does the job perfectly. Thankfully it doesn’t pick up every little thing either which is great. Also there is a setting where you can change the sensitivity because I know sometimes the cameras can pick up every little thing. I have my camera set on video mode and the quality of the footage is great both day and night. Also what is awesome about these cameras is you can still use them as a trail camera and what’s great is you can put them high in the tree and have them look down on the trail or a field edge. I had never used a surveillance camera before until now and there’s no other camera I would use for surveillance than VOSKER. Thanks Dustin

We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This card is an overall, dependable memory card. The amount of space offered has been ideal for my home camera that I used to take semi-professional photographs of family, friends, & the outdoors. It has made it easier to inspect photos/videos taken by my home surveillance cameras also. It provides very clear images. I’ve had zero issues with this memory card so far. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for a memory card for there home surveillance, especially if they plan on being away from home for a long time, the storage hours are amazing!! I would definitely recommend for any professional photographers as well, or anyone that loves holding onto family memories (such as myself) this is definitely the ideal memory card for you! I have over 60k family pictures saved, I plan on purchasing extras for my surveillance cameras!!
