Geoid Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In this post, I will tell you how to (cheaply) make a ChookCam for all your chook watching needs! You will need: A Drill A Suitably sized Lock & Lock box A Wireless IP Camera (like this one) A wireless router A Omlet Shade (for added protection) A Wireless antenna (like this one) What to Do: Get the camera and put it in the box, then mark where the power and antenna goes in. Using a suitably sized drill bit, drill holes in the box. Put the camera back in the box and attach the power and antenna though the holes. Put the lid on the box and attach it to your run. Attach the antenna to the outside of the run and cover it and the box with the Omlet Shade. Plug the power in, set up camera according to instructions. Enjoy!

Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Cheers Fred - I'll try this if I can find a cheap camera. I might try and see if the technicians have one laying around at the back of the cupboard somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
