Hey ppl...
My father asked me to build him a trail/game/animal camera...
So I will be posting the progress as it goes...
I've done some searching and found a few sites with DIY projects...
I will likely use an old digicam and remove the IR filter...
Prolly also add some IR LEDs for illumination...
I might have to add a light sensor to correct the WB once the IR filter is removed, but not sure until testing..
Power may come from a 12v car battery or perhaps some D-cells... May also add a solar cell for trickle charge as I have some in my inventory...
The motion detection seems like it will be the more expensive part according to the prices of PIR detectors on Digikey.ca and Mouser...
I could use a sensor from an outdoor light but I would prefer to buy a small quantity (10-20) or PIR sensors for future projects...
So, Anyone have a cheap source for PIR sensors?
Thanks!!
Michael
