Hey guys,
I live in Far West QLD (Outback Australia) and I'm trying to put together a remote wildlife monitoring system to be setup and left for 4-8 weeks between visits. The camera will ideally be a weatherproof unit with IR capabilities, and will record to a hard drive when a PIR motion detector is triggered. The whole unit will be powered by a deep cycle battery that is trickle charged by a solar panel (no mains electricity in the bush!).
Just wondering if anyone has set up a similar system, or if anyone has any recommendations on the various components? Would a DVR with a built in hard drive work? Any ideas how I should hook it all up?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks
