aproberts 0 Posted September 14, 2011 I have some possums (cute native Aussie bush tails) living in an isolated part of my roof. I could bomb them with camphor and board up the hole at night when they leave. This is the recommended solution, or, I could keep them as pets. I know this is, ahhh, unusual. I would like to the kids and I to be able to watch them by setting up a infrared light/cam system. Is this possible using CCTV? Hell I could even web cast their antics. My goal: I would hope I could put in a very wide angle close focus (10cm-80cm) camera of some sort, with an infrared light source. I would then like to cable this to my PC or a digital picture frame. If I did get the video to my PC, I could then get it on the web _ hope What is the best way to do this? Can anyone suggest gear. Are there close focus CCTV cameras Can I get the signal into a form my computer can read (say CCTV -> USB) or do I need CCTV-> Box -> USB to PC. Can I cast it? - or tell me that it is impossible (say, due to focus), vastly expensive, or point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_va 0 Posted September 14, 2011 Here's how I did it, the least expensive way (~ $100-200) would be something like: Analog cam Bosch LTC0355 ($5 ebay), used Axis server model 2400+ (~$50 ebay) or 241S ($100 ebay), light = fluor flood (or cheap IR), software = Vitamin D (get the $50 version that allows 2 cameras and does not limit resolution. http://vitamindinc.com/ Right click on events that have been saved, possibly edit, upload to youtube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
