Time Lapse Camera
Comments (4)I have used a LOT of cameras for outdoor purposes. Wildlife cameras have really evolved in the last 5 years. If your looking for a simple, affordable camera that you can place on a tree and program in the interval for taking shots then you can use any sort of foodplot camera. Plot Watcher is one that is advertised pretty heavily on the Outdoor Channel. I personally would rather have a camera that has many more functions and I can use for other purposes. My hands-down favorite is the Reconyx cameras. They take thousands of pictures on a single set of batteries. You can program in so many different functions I cannot begin to list them all. Camera speed, burst rate, day/night, delay, timed, lapse, etc... Do some research online. The nice thing about a Reconyx is you can use it and if you decide to get rid of it, you can sell it on Ebay for almost what you bought it for. These cameras are quality. I am planning to have multiple cameras on my build site. I want one on the road, one on the structure and one to record progress. One for fun and two for security. I plan to use a ladder to mount them up on the trees so they are out of sight of the contracted labor. I hope they won't see any use, but If we have some theft we should be able to do someothing about it. Good luck Saftgeek-...See MoreCameras and vandalism
Comments (11)I looked into this extensively. Even joined a hunting web group where such questions could be posted. I learned a lot. It looked like a IR that doesn't flash I think they call it black flash) would be best, locked down with special cables or hidden in a transfomer look alike case. The batteries in the winter was an issue and they would custom bore it to allow for a power cord- but then if I didn't get a good pic I was stuck with a custom altered camera. The total figure for all that get up was a bit high, considering they said I wouldn't get license plate capture with that and would need another camera for reading a license plate. So I called the police and they recommended a guy in the surveillance/electronics business and he came out and said " no you really want other security options, not a camera" He proposed stuff that wouldn't work out for us with teenagers, and when I said I wanted a camera he wouldn't specify which one but he wanted over 1K for it and $78/ hr to set it up. Yeah right. I think I'll wait. Looks like new camera technology called 'Listro" ? in the news lately can perhaps get the focus on faces and license plates if I can wait a few years. Sounds like you can't wait. From what I'm reading you need to be just a bit tougher to break into than the neighbors and that most break-ins are not by smart types but juvies and addicts. If you google specific game camera you can find video and pics on the web of those camera ( usually wildlife pics) I found this info and a specific guys ratings of these camera to be very helpful. Can't remember the name tho. Hope this helps....See MoreBrinno Construction Camera -- settings...
Comments (11)What happened was, I screwed up on the settings. Turns out, one shot every 10 mins is not a tight enough interval to produce a meaningful time lapse video (esp for demolition -- blink and the bulldozer has taken down an entire wall). So, the demo video was crappy. I adjusted the settings (reduced it from 10 mins to 2 mins). The cameras are due for a battery change end of this month so I will see if the new setting is any better!...See MoreConstruction Camera / House Security
Comments (1)I don't think this forum is going to be the people in the know about this question. It would probably be better to ask someone in the field of security and surveillance. I know there are some pretty sophisticated systems and the field is advancing all the time so there is probably something that can do what you want. I don't think it will be a trail camera though....See MoreRuss Barnard
