edhando 0 Posted October 9, 2006 As the title says, I have been tasked to implement, ASAP a System to capture bird activity. The activity is mostly on a patio/deck where there is bird bath, feeder etc. Need to design a system to get clear, zoom picture. Constraints: Has to be PC Based System (already own PC ) Budget : cheap...approx $500 deck/patio is approx 14X14 Camera can be mounted on roof over hang. Need remote viewing capability. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted October 9, 2006 How hard will it be for you to get wires from the PC (INSIDE!!!) to the camera? $500 is a tall order but possibly possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All other stuff (cables etc) is outside the budget. I think, 25 ft cable would suffice. I can bring the cable icnisde. It should not be any problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marzsit 0 Posted April 7, 2007 it could be done for $500 if you're good at scrounging used gear off ebay, and know what to look for. most of the guys here only deal with new equipment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
