percy049 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 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...

percy049 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I just got one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140638723025?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wonder if you could use a solar panel to power it and keep a charge over night? Be interested to hear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
