Electric6 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hello everyone I am new here and need some help.I wanted to put a camera in a nest box i have built. I could have bought one but i wanted to do this myself. I wanted to make it completely wireless as i don't feel like running 20 metres of cable down the garden. So the camera i picked was this one http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=20927&doy=21m12It apparently picks up infra red light which means i can put a few infra red leds in there so it's illuminated all day without disturbing the birds. What i need help on is which transmitter and receiver to use with the camera. I could pick up the signal on either a pc or a television i don't mind which. Also i would prefer to power this off a few 9V batteries to make it fully wireless. I understand this might not last that long but i wanted to give it a go and try.It needs to transmit 20 metres at most and hopefully not consume to muc power to i can keep it running for as long as possible. So can anyone help me here? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ante Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Are you sure about having it wireless? It might run for a few hours on a PP3 but with half a dozen IR LED’s it will only last for 5 minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
