EGLU HEAT PROBLEMS

[percy049]

I hope this is posted in the right section!

My dad wants a night vision camera to go inside our eglu classic. I was hoping someone on here has experience of this and can give advice on what sort of camera to buy and where to put it inside the house etc

I have a camera which was in my Go which also has Night Vision. Its battery powered but also has a mains if you can run mains electricity down to the eglu.

 

I'd probably just tape it inside to the front face of the eglu...

 

Theres a thread **here**

Thanks so much! We've just been to our garden centre to look for a camera, but they don't sell them anymore. We'll get one off eBay probably later

Looks

 

They've come down massively in price since I was looking nearly 2 years ago!

Tempted to get one even though I don't need it at all... best not!

It connects to the wireless network so we can view them from any computer\phone.

Also has night vision and a motion sensor - All I need to do now is work out how to power it from batteries!

 

I'll post a review when I've set it up

[Lewis]

Wonder if you could use a solar panel to power it and keep a charge over night?

 

Be interested to hear it!

I just posted on an electronics forum for advice, I think it will be possible, the problem is powering it all night would take a sizable battery and panel! Hopefully it has a power saving mode until the motion sensor activates.
