I raise rodents commercially to sell for pets. I would like to be able to monitor their breeding. Right now I have to wait for a female to give birth, before I know that she was mated. (beleive it or not, the don't all 'breed like rabbits')
I thought i could install a cctv camera to record activity, but I can't find any information about using cctv in this type of setting. Cany anyone help? or send me someplace where I can do my own research?
Thanks
John

Something like this should do the trick. Depending on the number of areas you want to monitor you may need a different number of cameras but this is a good starting point for you to investigate.

thanks for that. As alot of the monitoring will have to be at night, will IR work? And what are the recording limitations for that type of light? Do the standard cameras produce better images than bullets?

Get cameras with built in IR illuminators. They are designed best for night viewing.

do these cameras just plug into an appropriate board on the computer? Is there a software package that you recommend?

Unless you want to record on conventional tape, you'll have to get a DVR. The cameras are easily used with any DVR. I would post a message in the DVR forum here.
