Garden camera with timelapse capability

Posted by Queuebot in Gadget, Home & Garden on March 29, 2009 at 8:05 pm


A simple, weatherproof camera designed for the garden or wildlife enthusiast.   It can be programmed to take photos at variable intervals for the creation of time-lapse movie files.

It can focus as close as 20″ away to illustrate petal growth or, with its wide 54″ field of view, it can capture perennials as they grow to conceal your spent spring bulb foliage. The camera takes a picture at one of six pre-determined intervals (five seconds to 24 hours) and combines them into a single 1280 x 1024 resolution AVI movie file for easy playback on a computer. It has a light sensor that turns off the camera at dusk and back on at dawn, allowing for continued video capture each day. Movies are timestamped and stored on the camera’s removable 2GB USB flash drive, which can take up to 18,000 pictures.

    That's neat. I'd get one if it wasn't $160.

    I wonder if it would be useful for long range subjects, like a sunset or stars. Then it would be really cool and versatile. Even if the focal range is skewed, it might make for experimental time-lapse goodness.

    It would be really neat if it were solar powered too.

    I think some Canon models have time-lapse built in. I don't know why all cameras don't, as it's just simple software. My old Canon A300 can do it, but it needs to be controlled from the PC, via USB. Really short sample here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2SYZQQKsbo

    That was awesome - the best thing I've seen in a long time - the little girl at 4:21 with the giant hat and feather was my favorite. And ditto the music - perfect.

    Here's a better link for the product. It goes to the manufacturer, not to Hammacher:

    There's a wealth of data at the manufacturer's site.
