image 1 and 3- c325wb is 2k with the ultra low light sensor and wider FOV.

image 2 and 4 and 5 - c560ws 4k ptz. has infrared abilities. also can do spotlight when detecting motion.

same spot similar times at night. really like the wider FOV of the 325. honestly the 325 is the absolute best bargain of any camera out there. I think the 560ws has too much lens distortion for being a more narrow fov so not sure why that is

will likely swap back the c325wb and repurpose the c560ws inside.

Tldr: Damn transformer hum.. 😭

I've installed a Tapo smart doorbell to replace an old Deta chime. The Deta was wired off the mains and the chime unit had a built in transformer.

I've installed a BG transformer, set to 12v, within a Wylex box and all is working well - except for that damn transformer hum. (I've tried two Wylex boxes with no luck of noise reduction).

Unfortunately, the transformer is installed in the hallway due to the short wiring run originally installed.

I'm struggling to believe that other households with hardwired smart doorbells put up with the hum.

Is there anything that can be done to reduce the hum noise?

TIA

So upgraded the C425’s solar panel from the included A201 to the A202, simply because it hardly charges even when the sun is out! My lawd! Why did it only took me like 1.5yr to upgrade!

So yesterday was really overcasted and it managed to charge at least 7% and maintained at 82% the rest of the afternoon even when I’m fiddling with the camera settings.

Today the Sun out here and there and managed to charge a good 19% in the evening when the Sun was setting!

Hopefully this will reduce the amount of times I’m going up the step ladder to charge the camera! 😂
