Moving this down as the show is over and has been torn down. It looked like they had a lot of visitors come to enjoy the wonderful exhibits.

Web cams are actually quite inexpensive these days. You could try a really cheap one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Webcam-Camera-Vision-Meeting-compatible/dp/B0015TJNEY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327376047&sr=8-2 But with a really cheap model the picture may not be good enough to identify the thief. You'd probably have better results with a little higher resolution model like a 720p or 1080p: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327376047&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-HD-Pro-Webcam-C910/dp/B003M2YT96/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327376047&sr=8-3 If you already have a digital camera you should be able to hook that up as well. You would have to connect the camera to your computer with a USB cable and have the computer running software that will take pictures every 5 seconds. Point the camera out a window at your front garden. My camera came with software that will do this. Sometimes people use this type of software to make time lapse movies of plants growing or flowers opening. Taking time lapse photos rather than movies or eat up less space on your hard drive.

I'd like a recommendation also, not that I can have a feeder here in Thailand. Or can I? It's certainly not done here, but after seeing konrad___far_north's cool photos I hope there's a motion-activated cam I can buy ready-made when I find a place to hang one!
