The Ring Floodlight Cam combines two essential devices in one: A home security camera and a motion-activated floodlight. When the Floodlight camera detects movement, it turns on its two powerful LED beams as well as its sharp 1080p camera, and starts recording. The Floodlight Cam also has a loud speaker, so you can talk to whoever’s in front of the camera, and hear their responses. Ring’s app offers a variety of settings, such as custom motion zones, scheduling and more. Add to that Ring’s neighborhood-watch feature, which lets you see what’s happening in your area from other Ring users, as well as from your local police and fire departments. (You can also post your own videos to the Neighbors app). Unfortunately, to record and share video, you’ll need to subscribe to Ring’s cloud storage plans, which start at $3 per month.
Firstly, does your current mirrorless or DSLR camera output a clean video signal? Secondly, what kind of connection does your camera have? Is it a mini HDMI, micro HDMI, or a full-size HDMI? And lastly, what is the resolution and the frame rate your camera outputs via HDMI? Let’s begin with square one. Before all else, you want to know whether your camera is even compatible with an external monitor. And if your camera doesn’t supply video via an external output, you won’t be able to use an external monitor. To find this information, visit your camera manufacturer’s website, download the manual for your camera model, and review the manual’s HDMI subsection. Here, ensure the camera offers a video feed via HDMI, as some only support image playback. And ensure that feed is clean, meaning it removes all of the on-screen information on the LCD.
As long as your monitor is able to scale the footage, you can watch it. You just won’t be able to see all the fine details. Scaling the footage, however, can introduce some artifacts which may become obvious when you’re playing back the footage on your monitor. Luckily, a lot of on-camera monitors provide a 1:1 pixel mode, which will let you zoom in, and view part of the frame at full resolution. The display technology of external monitors varies. Some monitors feature an IPS display, while others use an LCD, LED (or a combination of both!), or an OLED. There are pros and cons to each technology, but IPS, a combination of LCD/LED or OLED is a good thing to look out for. The above technologies let you enjoy broader viewing angles without altering the image quality. The also offers better contrast and deeper blacks than, let’s say, a monitor using a simple LCD-screen.
Compact & affordable director monitor, HS7T II reviewed by Tom Antos who is a film director and cinematographer with over 20 years of experience in VFX & animation. This is my new small, light, and inexpensive wireless monitor for pulling focus or for the director to monitor. I came up with this new setup while testing out the new wireless video system from Hollyland and right after getting my hands on the Portkeys monitor. I quickly realized that together these two different pieces of gear will make a small, light yet powerful wireless monitor. What makes this setup so good is the fact that it’s easy and fast to set up. It requires fewer batteries. It works up to 1000 feet of distance with an open line of sight. Also, the video latency is so low that it can be used as a dedicated wireless monitor for pulling focus.
