Peveto water feature camera


 

I have been playing with trail cams at Peveto since last fall. It took a
while to figure out the settings I like best as far as frequency and
duration etc. I settled on 5 second video clips as a compromise between
battery life, lots of clips of nothing, lighting, rain, etc.... I think
posting on Vimeo is a good way to go without all the ads and I think is
accessible easily by the public. The Images are pretty good, but need a
monitor bigger than most cell phones. On my desk top monitor, the species
are pretty easy to ID. These are almost all birds, but I have
other critters I can feature in clips to come.
This first video is at the mister dishes from April 11 thru 17th.

Dave,
I love this footage! Thank you for taking the time to put in a camera at
Peveto. So cool seeing those warblers from inside my house :-)

Does it just jump from one view to another? And did I read correctly that
I'll have to pay $12 a month for Vimeo?

Roselie,
Viewing this and others I will post should be free viewing to the public.
You would pay if you want to create an account and upload your videos. This
video is made up of fifty-five, 5 second clips. The camera recorded 710
clips activated by motion over this time period. Lots of Grackles and
Catbirds. I edited them together into one video and it does jump from one
to the next. If I get better with video editing, I will work on
transitions. I think you have a slide bar to pause and advance forward and
back, but I am not sure exactly what the public view is. I suspect the
video quality and playback will vary with internet connection and playback
device. It can be expanded to full screen which looks pretty good on my
monitor.
