OK, it's a bit of an unusual camera type for around here, but anybody have experience with trail cameras?
Here's what I'm thinking about... a family member will soon be having some construction work done at their house, both inside & out. I'm thinking it'd be pretty neat if I was to strap a couple of trail cameras up during the construction so that I could create a time lapse video up at the end of. OK, yeah, it'd be a crude & simple time lapse but still neat I think.
Most of the work will be done in a house basement and outside of the house so I'm thinking two cameras, one strapped to a pole in the basement and the other strapped to a tree outside facing the house. Since the construction guys will be there only during the day, unless there's something gong on, ideally then the cameras could be set to take a pic every X amount of time during the day hours (dawn to dusk) while being in their normal motion activated mode during night hours (dusk to dawn).
Thoughts? Recommended gear? Setting up some 'real' cameras with intervalometers would be such an overkill that I couldn't even come close to justifying spending any money on that gear. A couple of cheap trail cameras, on the other hand, might always come in handy for misc. experiments/fun in the future.
